I lost my quicksync. I thought that wouldn't matter much as most of the work is done on the cameras, and I do direct-to-disk and direct-to-wire when possible. I have come to realize that direct-to-wire only works on live viewing, not on recordings. That makes no sense to me. AM I missing something?

Sure, it's only the fact that there have been dozens upon dozens of versions in between. Not easy to figure out if there was anything worthwhile. Anything major and obvious to some users?

I am using BI ver. 5.3.2.5 Is there a point in upgrading to the newest iteration?

I have 3. One has been outside in the elements of the northeast for almost 2 years. Along with some old Hikvison cameras that have been out for 10 years. No condensation issue in any of them.

I will check the ping but maybe I wasn't clear on the web/client issue. When the camera plays on the local client, that fixes the web FPS. Basically, when camera1 plays on BOTH simultaneously, both play at 15 FPS. When I shut down the client playing the camera locally, the web interface drops...

The cameras are not on a separate network but I monitor my network and it's not even 10% saturated. Also, displaying the camera's feed on the client simultaneously fixing the remote FPS would argue against a network problem. Low CPU, low memory usage, plenty network bandwidth. The issue is...

I have been experiencing a new and quite bizarr issue. SOme (most) cameras would intermittently start exhibiting FPS of around 1 on the UI3. CPU and memory usage does not spike or a nuything like that. If I open the client (running as service) on the server on the same camera, that fixes the FPS...

It does look like the 4K version performs better in very low light, though the 4MP versions are still ar superior to their older counterparts.

What is the difference between the NI and the other 4MP (non-NI) version?

I have 3 4K ColorVu cameras. I have been mightily impressed. Their low-light performance is from another world. Those have a 1/1.2" CMOS sensor, which explains the great low-light performance. Has anybody had the opportunity to compare the 4K to the 4MP Colorvue cameras? The 4MP ones have 1/1.8"...

1. Old camera SWNHD-820CAM (rebranded Hikvision) 2. ColorVu at default settings 3. ColorVu with HLC (high light compensation set at 79%).

If anybody is interested, here is the difference at night between the Colorvu and a previous generation Hikvision. Last image is with HLC at 79%. I am impressed.

I am using BI and I am almost done with the 40 pages of the Hikvision discussion. I am impressed so far!

1/2.7" such as let's say Amcrest 4K would be a horrible choice then?

I did. I would say if it's a trade-off, I'd take better daytime performance over nighttime.
