    Virtual COM Port

    ok so there may be a bit of confusion on how my system is actually set up. Check out the attached network diagram. I am trying to use the ptz controller in a little bit different of a way that I think you interpreted it :) . The computer will receive ptz commands from the PTZ controller and...

    Virtual COM Port

    I said above, I am using COM port 1 - set in the device manager. Through the course of trying to get it working I have tried COM ports 1 and 3. All settings applied through everything. The thing I havnt tried yet is the BIOS settings. Ill poke around in there soon. :)

    Virtual COM Port

    I have a ptz controller that I am trying to hook up to my BI computer. The controller uses rs-485 signal to communicate the protocols. This would be fine, as BI has an option to change the ptz controls to a specified COM port device. However, my computer does not have a standard COM port, So I...

    joystick for BI ptz cams?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for joysticks that can be connected to a computer running BI? I'm looking for one with all the basic functions, ie number presets, zoom, and iris control.

    How to stop IR from triggering motion

    how much of a load does a cloned camera that's hidden and set for alerts and no recording put on the cpu?

    video freezing during playback

    just change presets, nothing big, could use my phone app, but I have a similar remote I made for the lights in the house, figured why not the camera presets too :)

    video freezing during playback

    I'm happy with that, that took a lot of time to troubleshoot. For my next project though, I'm thinking about making a small handheld remote, with about 10-20 buttons on it, and then adding a small module that can receive the signals from the remote attached to the computer. Add a few macros in...

    video freezing during playback

    so matched would produce the highest quality? my fps is set to 25. That's why I set it at 20 - but if 25 will produce a smoother image I am all for that. This camera has to have a high enough frame rate to capture moving cars hence the 25fps

    video freezing during playback

    So after a few days now I think I have figured out what was going on... In my camera settings page I had an option for the I/P frame rate. The default for this was set to be around 80-100 (can't remember). I then lowered the number down to 20, making the ratio much higher. That in combination...

    video freezing during playback

    Well here I am having moved my BI install onto my brand new windows 8 machine with a faster processor, more memory, more ram, better graphics, better everything... the whole swap only took less than 30 minutes - definitely like that about BI. So everything looked good and then suddenly, the...

    video freezing during playback

    I knew that cup of coffee that the dog spilled all across and into the cpu would eventually come back to haunt me... lol true story - it may be the underlying cause (hope not). But the cameras record using their own software just fine. The problem stems from somewhere in BI. When I get home from...

    video freezing during playback

    well unfortunately time did tell me that I haven't gotten it right just yet :( After running the dpc tool overnight, at some point during the night a small spike occurred, the spikes occur very infrequently now (maybe once every 6-8 hours) so I'm not sure if those are the cause of the issue -...

    video freezing during playback

    so i have done a few tweaks on some settings and some debugging with the dpc tool. Preliminary tests are basically indicating that one of the sound drivers was causing the latency spikes. I don't want to jump to conclusions but since that sound driver has been disabled I have no longer had any...

    video freezing during playback

    ok so after some testing and using the dpc tool i have noticed that I am experience some issues. The dpc tool is showing spikes every so often, not consistently, but enough to possibly cause the lags in the live video feeds. I have followed the instructions on the dpc tool's website and went...

    video freezing during playback

    i will try that dpc tool and let you guys know how it looks. I did do tests with just the camera writing to the pc directly as you said - no BI. All of those clips look good. No issues with it happening when its only the camera and pc.

    video freezing during playback

    sorry for not mentioning it, i thought i had...but since your second post I have changed BI to make all initial recordings go directly to the internal c drive on the pc itself. after some time there bi moves them to storage on the usb drive. so all of these issue have been occurring while...

    video freezing during playback

    After testing the clips through the poker's own interface all of the clips look good. No pauses are occurring. Looks like the issue may be in BI somewhere....

    video freezing during playback

    That makes sense - the very next test I ran under the same conditions as above after I posted that and I got the pause again...... figures..... at least it is occurring A LOT less frequently now.... Back to the drawing board I guess.....:(

    video freezing during playback

    Ok so I got a chance to get some testing in and here is what I think may be going on... Tested the Poker cam under a variety of network loads (Poker only, poker+1cam, poker+2cams, Poker+misc network traffic, and full load - poker + 2cams + misc network traffic) and with different combinations...

    video freezing during playback

    I tried changing the initial directory to the internal hd and still am getting a freeze in the clips. I am recording all streams in bvr. And as for keeping the feed open in the browser to watch for a freeze there, are you referring to the BI web server or the cam's own internal browser?

    video freezing during playback

    On some of my clips I get about a 4 or 5 second freeze in the clip. I.e. it will start recording, look good and then just freeze randomly for about 4 or 5 seconds as if the clip was paused (I tried uploading both an mp4 and avi clip of the freeze but i keep getting invalid file error from...

    Suggestions on new cams

    The rep I spoke with offered me a deal because I mentioned BI and the forum. End price of 200$ plus shipping. That would get me the 2MP PTZ 10x Zoom with audio. As far as the support goes, I am aware that it will be virtually non-existent. But I consider virtually anything I order from China to...
