    Start of recordings dropping out

    Anyone? Re-encoding does it also.

    No change. Still drops frames.

    Start of recordings dropping out

    I'll...try...although I don't see why that would do anything. All Hikvision cameras (3 different models) and the Huisun PTZ show this behavior. The Dahua in the garage works flawlessly. The cameras are exhibiting this behavior (10fps video): Huisun (15fps video): If I manually...

    Start of recordings dropping out

    No, but I edited it to try to make it more clear "All cameras (EXCEPT apparently the Dahua 1MP which had no pre-trigger set) will freeze video after ~2 seconds". The Dahua is fine, but maybe only because it didn't have pre-trigger setup.

    You have that backward - the Dahua is working. All the Hikvisions and the Huisun are having the issue. Attached config.

    Yes ;) "I'm using direct-disc recording and all cameras have the iframe matching the frame rate, and max fps set the same"

    Start of recordings dropping out

    "11x Hikvision 3MP@10fps cameras" I may increase the rate since I have such low CPU usage, but 10fps is fine for most things.

    rearranging cameras on screen?

    That was it! Don't see why I would have ever clicked that. I still don't know what most buttons or icons do, and I've been using BI for years!

    rearranging cameras on screen?

    Drag-lock is disabled here but I still cannot drag them around. Anyone know what is going on? Attempting to click and drag, from the middle of the frame, treats the input like I'm single-clicking on it (the camera goes full screen). I've been trying to find a way to rearrange my cameras for...

    Start of recordings dropping out

    So I have been having this issue for awhile, but after installing my remaining cameras and upgrading to Windows 10 to get HA going, it still persists. I have an i7-3770 system with 16GB of RAM and recording to mirrored WD Black drives. There are 11x Hikvision 3MP@10fps cameras, 1x Huisun...

    quick check before I order more hardware

    The benefits of Blue Iris, for me, greatly outweigh its drawbacks. $160 i7 3770 system, around 50W power usage with 16MP of cameras at 20fps (9 more cameras totaling 23MP coming once I mount them and put connectors on my already-run cat6). It's just one more input I feed into my ever-evolving...

    quick check before I order more hardware

    There would be four different video files and streams. You'd probably want to have the times set exactly the same on each camera, timestamp watermarks enabled, open up four files in different video player instances, then click "play" on each as each one passes some timestamp. First video play at...

    quick check before I order more hardware

    Under Windows, you can use spanned volumes or Storage Spaces. Both options give you the capability of using multiple drives as one volume. For spanned, I'd recommending running it on top of RAID1/5/6 for redundancy. For Storage Spaces, you can get 1-disk-failure redundancy without needing a RAID...

    Long time ago but I captured a coyote attack video

    As usual, people want to play the victim and take no responsibility. Have had many pets, up to three dogs/cats at one time. Currently have one young dog. None ever escape as I know they can't be protected when they leave the land I own. Going to fetch them, I would likely be trespassing. I know...

    Long time ago but I captured a coyote attack video

    Agreed. People want to play the victims, but it's these wild animals that are the victims. Take care of your pet and it WILL NOT get out. If you want to have an "outdoor cat", don't be surprised when something happens to it. It most places it is legal for your pet to be outside on your...

    cpu?

    Don't forget about used boxes either. I got my i7 3770 system for $160 used. Idles at 14.5W. If I take out the excess RAM (16GB) and run only 4GB, it idles at under 14W. With five 3MP/20fps cameras, hardware acceleration disabled (Windows 7 run-as-service HA issue), and full screen motion...

    Re: Smokin Deal on Hikvision DS-2cd2335-i 3MP - Mar 29th for $69.97 from a trusted ve Yeah, I prefer the 2335 over the 3345 due to its better build quality (less plastic). For low light sensitivity, you have sensor size, sensor tech, and photosite/pixel size. Sensor size makes the biggest...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS FPS Low

    I haven't wired up my house with CAT6 yet and my server is inside, so I setup two wireless routers to act as a dedicated bridge between garage and house. When the connection would get weaker, I'd see the same behavior you're describing - not enough frames reaching BI. It was an issue with...

    DS-2CD2032-I need to be power off and on each 2 weeks

    I had a similar problem years ago. My two Hik cameras would stop working, but my lower-power Dahua would continue recording fine. I purchased a different single-port injector and moved a Hik to it. After that only one Hik would stop working - the one on the old injector. Turned out to be a...
