    Blue Iris dropping out and losing license key

    Mine is starting to do this, especially after applying an update. The bugs in the software should be rectified regardless of which vendor you choose to purchase from. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    BI Best Practices?

    Ok sounds good. So what should I set it to in BI? It seems I am hard coding a value in the program.

    BI Best Practices?

    I am assuming once I set the hikvision to 15fps, I will have to do the same in BI?

    what do you guys normally see in your setups? I am trying to gauge how much data a single camera is expected to consumer with a tuned setup.

    BI Best Practices?

    I'll give that a try. Since last night after switching over to continuous and motion trigger, I am now standing at 28GB consumed! This is after clearing my entire file set in order to give it a fresh start.

    BI Best Practices?

    Thanks for the info. I just set it to continuous and will monitor it. As a good rule of thumb, am I pushing my hikvision too hard at 30fps?

    BI Best Practices?

    Hey Guys, I am running the latest version on a Lenovo TS-140 server (Core i3 4150 3.5 GHz) and starting to learn how to tune BI and the do's and dont's. One question, I am running a Hikvision 2mp camera and two foscam units and the CPU/Ram usage is decent (CPU = 14%, RAM 515mb). Though I...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Ok, so its safe to assume that both Hikvision and Dahua cameras might require a totally different junction box? This sounds like a nightmare for installers.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    For those who have installed these cameras, is it true that Dahua international models require the use of their own specific junction box? Apparentky the stuff in the US is not compatible?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Does Dahua play the region game like Hikvision does when it comes to region and language firmware locks? Can I easily buy a Dahua off aliexpress and update the firmware without any thought?

    Can I update Hikvision/KT&C Non Branded NVR?

    Hey Guys, I have a UNIX branded NVR which is really just a Hikvision product (KT&C uses it as well). It's a 32 channel TVI unit that can also do IP cameras as well. Since this was purchased from Unix, they are the only ones that can provide firmware updates. Is there any chance that I can...
