    I Know I'm Daft But...

    I'm running BI and after having done 3 self installs, I have forgotten where I put the trial higher 4, 6 and 8MP cameras. How can I check the camera models please? I can log in to all systems remotely but just can't seem to check either in BI or using the direct camera IP address and looking round.

    I have read half of this thread tonight and am now have a question. My first 2 x colour photo's attached is a 5231 which I chose to cope with our relatively low light room.

    Dahua Cameras

    Thanks for the reply @mat200, I have previously really enjoyed the starlight 2mp dahuas. When I eventually tried the 4, 6 & 8mp, I struggled to see the overall improvement as outdoors at night, the 2mp still came out best. Admittedly that's at night outdoors. Can I ask is this new starlight+...

    V5

    I suppose if it's new software, they could both run at once in theory. I will backup BI4 thank you for the tip. I take it BI5 uses 4's backup?

    V5

    Thanks for the help guys, I guess I'll have to scour the forums once again. I had BI4 set up to run on windows boot up automatically. First I suppose I need to disable that I guess?

    V5

    Hi Guys, I paid subscription to BI5 some time ago and my V4.8.6.3 showed version 5 eligible after I put my valid key code in. But when I click upgrade, it says I'm on latest version. If I try and use key code, it says code already used. Which I did to make it v5 eligible. Am I being dumb...

    Timestamps

    Sorry guys, I do not know why I can't find it. In BI5, I'm using the camera's timestamp but want to remove the BI timestamp from view. Is the setting in each individual camera or the global settings? Spent an hour scratching my head and googling and despite seeing its cam properties > video >...

    Which WD Purple Hard Drive

    Hi guys, I'm wondering what you guys think is better 8TB Purple HDD, the WD81PURZ 5400rpm or the WD82PURZ 7200rpm? I've emailed WD also but thought I'd ask the community also. I will update the thread with WD's response if indeed they respond.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Log in to camera at night and set up as you like. You can set up for the best picture possible. Even if I dont wish to change zoom as on some cameras, I do a minor zoom to know the SS is working.

    High CPU Usage

    Sorry Southern Yankee, that must have been my typo. it is a i7-6700 as shown. However, that is not the system with the high CPU usage. My mums with the i5-6500 has the issue. I have gone to cameras and defaulted the video settings (now 2, 4 & 6MP) to be sure to have their correct bitrates. I...

    High CPU Usage

    Being happy with that ~12% CPU thanks to using the "High Performance Power Plan" on my PC I updated the cameras to their full ability of a 2MP, 4MP & 6MP cameras. Bearing in mind I am still remoted in so we could subtract circa 10% CPU. This has had a dramatic affect on the CPU as shown...

    High CPU Usage

    I have just taken 2 screenshots as Yankee suggested below. My CCTV usually hovers around 16% CPU 1.65G RAM, therefore the one time calculation for the increase is about +9% on the CPU and 0.02G for the RAM OK, I will do this and both will be via remote desktop for equal comparison. Just...

    High CPU Usage

    Sorry Yankee, I am a bit of a novice with PC's and am unsure what this relates to or how to find such information. Using the Optimizing BI manual, I did opt for the setting in BI to use Intel HA, not sure how to check it is working but the photo's may help as I read in Optimizing BI manual you...
