ok so there may be a bit of confusion on how my system is actually set up. Check out the attached network diagram. I am trying to use the ptz controller in a little bit different of a way that I think you interpreted it :) . The computer will receive ptz commands from the PTZ controller and...

I said above, I am using COM port 1 - set in the device manager. Through the course of trying to get it working I have tried COM ports 1 and 3. All settings applied through everything. The thing I havnt tried yet is the BIOS settings. Ill poke around in there soon. :)

I have a ptz controller that I am trying to hook up to my BI computer. The controller uses rs-485 signal to communicate the protocols. This would be fine, as BI has an option to change the ptz controls to a specified COM port device. However, my computer does not have a standard COM port, So I...

this is not an isolated issue... 4.0.1.6 is doing this on my machine. The bug came in with the update :) has anyone notified ken?

Does anyone have any suggestions for joysticks that can be connected to a computer running BI? I'm looking for one with all the basic functions, ie number presets, zoom, and iris control.

wow! that is a perfect solution then! the wife is going to hate me re-configuring a couple of these :cool:

how much of a load does a cloned camera that's hidden and set for alerts and no recording put on the cpu?

just change presets, nothing big, could use my phone app, but I have a similar remote I made for the lights in the house, figured why not the camera presets too :)

I'm happy with that, that took a lot of time to troubleshoot. For my next project though, I'm thinking about making a small handheld remote, with about 10-20 buttons on it, and then adding a small module that can receive the signals from the remote attached to the computer. Add a few macros in...

so matched would produce the highest quality? my fps is set to 25. That's why I set it at 20 - but if 25 will produce a smoother image I am all for that. This camera has to have a high enough frame rate to capture moving cars hence the 25fps

So after a few days now I think I have figured out what was going on... In my camera settings page I had an option for the I/P frame rate. The default for this was set to be around 80-100 (can't remember). I then lowered the number down to 20, making the ratio much higher. That in combination...

it almost sounds like you have what was going on with me... check out this thread and see if it helps http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?2253-video-freezing-during-playback

Well here I am having moved my BI install onto my brand new windows 8 machine with a faster processor, more memory, more ram, better graphics, better everything... the whole swap only took less than 30 minutes - definitely like that about BI. So everything looked good and then suddenly, the...

will that export the registration code as well?

I knew that cup of coffee that the dog spilled all across and into the cpu would eventually come back to haunt me... lol true story - it may be the underlying cause (hope not). But the cameras record using their own software just fine. The problem stems from somewhere in BI. When I get home from...
