Thanks guys.. I bought all these from Andy at King Security .. if that matters... The ONLY issue I have is one of my cameras keeps resetting the date/time back to its default which is 2017 .. Today I logged into the GUI via the IP address and unchecked "automatic reboot" hoping that solves the...

Thanks in advance. In late 2017 I installed 1 HDW5231R ZE and 2 HDW5631R-ZE at our house. Since then I have not done anything to the cameras in terms of flashing firmware etc. All of them run w/ B;ueIris on a dedicated laptop with no problems at all. My question is: After 4 years is there...

I didnt even think about a desktop and it makes sense .. Right now I am running everything on a higher end dedicated laptop. 1 camera is continuous recording the other is motion triggered and both are at higher than recommended frame rates and quality. In the short term, I bought a 1TB seagate...

Thanks in advance. For the last few years I have been running these 2 cameras w/ Blue Iris to a lap top and it has worked out fine but .. I need longer storage retention.. I may upgrade / add a camera or 2 in the future but can not see myself having more than 4. With that in mind, can someone...

Thanks again. This is all about connecting to the Blue Iris web interface.. I am port forwarding, no vpn. Spectrum is the provider but just the modem, I am using EERO for the port forwarding. The confusing part is if I go into safari on my iphone and manually put in ipaddress:89 I get to the...

Sorry more details below I am trying to connect to the BI GUI/login page that I use on my LAN to view cameras from a computer. This works on my home computer but not away from the house. Yes, remote meaning outside of my wifi Outside the App - meant that the app works fine, but , if I am at the...

Hello and thanks. Everything is great but I still cant connect remotely outside of the app. I am using port 89 and it will work on my phone if I type in the ipadress:89 but I have not found a computer yet that I can pull the UI up on. Any thoughts? IF I have to change the port #.. what else...

I think I solved a lot of my problems by cleaning up this laptop and disabling a ton of services as well as windows updates which resets everything..also somewhat followed the wiki settings.. Now from the BI web interface I am CPU 34 MEM 37 Disk 10 FPS14 My last questions are: 1. should I be...

Nothing wifi.. all cameras are POE. Lag shows up on the 6mp camera.. I have been running this way for a year .. just want to fix the problems.

Thank, and yes these are 2 different issues I am having. Using VBR Bitrate 4096 FPS 14 I have substream enabled but not really sure what that is for.. I am using best practices from the WIKI. Is resolution a factor here? I am at 3072*2048 for camera 1 and 1920*1080 for cam 2 --cam 1 is 6mp...

Hello and thanks, Was wondering if I am doing something wrong as I have been reading about performance, etc. for different camera setups. I am using a Lenovo X1 Carbon w/ a 250gb HD running 2 Dahua Starlight cameras. When I log into the Dahua UI I see CPU at 95%, Mem at 88, Disk at 17 and FPS...

Hello and thanks, Hope fully not a dumb question but would like some feedback. Current setup: Blue Iris w/ Dedicated computer HDW 5231z - 2 MP HDW (6 mp version .. dont recall model #) 2 MP is at front door 6 MP is above garage looking back towards front yard I have these on direct 2 disk...

now that you brought up direct to disk I found this nugget.. High CPU Useage on 22 Camera build system I am also lowering frame rate and iframe to 15 What are the negatives of D2D vs other options? I am just looking to have: 1. Close to live remote viewing capabilities 2. High quality...

cpu is at a high 70% Regarding recording... I have Blue Iris DVR option w/ the FLAC audio option checked.. It is not set to direct to disk .. it is set to "reencode with the h264 option selected... Just tested lag times .. the 2mp is approx 15 seconds.. the 6 mp is double that .. Thank you...

New settings: Changed CBR to VBR and adjusted Iframe.. also got rid of watermarks.. Lag time is still there and the 6mp camera is about 15 seconds behind the 2 mp... On a side note... I do not need crystal clear remote viewing but do want to record the best image quality I can get for review...
