    green triangle beneath camera and main stream status but nothing in BI status and no information what it means

    it is sporadic so I have trouble getting a screenshot... Here is the main window, this cam has no IR so black only currently: I also saw the same green triangle but bigger on the right side of the blue bar on the bottom but have not managed to get that on screenshot: Edit: hold on... there...

    green triangle beneath camera and main stream status but nothing in BI status and no information what it means

    In BI sometimes I see a green triangle next to a camera. What does this green triangle mean? BI itself has the BI Status where (as I understand) all messages from all cameras are gathered (I see a signal restore where I switched off a camera, so the status collects messages). But with this...

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    I do not remember why I set it at this shutter speed, probably because the image was too dark at night. The camera cannot do some automatic shutter speed.

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    It is a Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-I and is capable of doing 30fps.

    Does Line Crossing detection need an iframe to trigger? Does it need an iframe if running directly on the camera?

    Yes, the camera has this ability and it does work. If there is an event detected it is sent to Surveillance Station doing the recording. So the detection is not done in SS (which would definitly require an iframe) but it is done in the camera (which is the question if the camera needs an iframe...

    Does Line Crossing detection need an iframe to trigger? Does it need an iframe if running directly on the camera?

    I am not sure, I found nothing about the Hik protocol in the cam settings in Surveillance Station, but the event detection algorithm source can be done by camera or by surveillance station. I guess the camera still is doing the detection, but that does not answer the question :(

    BI: What means Setup -1 for 'h264'..... Does it mean HW acceleration is active?

    In the BI Status for the cameras I understand that HW VA not compatible means the current Hardware acceleration is not compatible, so I must set a different one. From here: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/what-does-hw-va-not-compatible-mean.18866/ What does the following line mean: "HW decode"...

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    The exposure settings are in Image-Display Settings-Exposure settings, correct? If so, there is only: Iris Mode: Manual Exposure Time: 1/12 Network setup: From the PC I have BI on, to a Netgear 1GBit switch to a Netgear 1GBit Switch to the camera. Would this information be sufficient?

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    That is the case, I only use H264.

    Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out?

    I set up a IP camera in Blue Iris. For testing I set the cam to Constant Bit Rate, best quality and 30 fps. BI is reporting a main stream frame rate of around 10 fps. Why is BI displaying a lower frame rate than the camera puts out? The Max Rate in BI is set to 30 fps for this camera.

    questions about I Frame, fps and Blue Iris Main stream properties

    Thank you, It leaves me with the question: What is a frame rate of 1/16 good for? (I will not use it it is just curiosity)

    questions about I Frame, fps and Blue Iris Main stream properties

    Thank you, here is a screenshot, it is the frame rate menu: Edit: Now I get it.... The I Frame Interval is in fractions... So if it is set to 100 every 100th frame is an iframe....

    questions about I Frame, fps and Blue Iris Main stream properties

    a question about understanding Frame rate, iframes and BI: 1) In my Hikvision camera I can set a frame rate and a i frame Interval. The maximum frame rate is 20 fps, but I can also set 1/16, 1/8 and other low numbers fps. Does that actually mean 1/16 frames per second, means one frame every 16...

    Does Line Crossing detection need an iframe to trigger? Does it need an iframe if running directly on the camera?

    If a Hikvision camera has Line crossing detection activated, does line crossing need a iframe to trigger if Line crossing is done in Surveillance station? Does it need an iframe if Line Crossing is active directly on the camera as well or is it independent there? Read on this posting...
