    Camera placement opinions / IR adjustments.

    oh yea i will. i am looking into IR Illuminators. probably get one. i have noticed that while these cameras have a better night picture the IR illumination is nothing compared to the knock off bullet cams i had. they lit up my neighbor on that camera, my driveway cam could see to the edge...

    Camera placement opinions / IR adjustments.

    good call. thanks! i did not even think about that since it didn't show up in chrome either. i should know better since i deal with this kind of crap at work daily. amazing how many apps in IT are only supported on one browser or the other and even version specific...

    Camera placement opinions / IR adjustments.

    ah OK. brings up another question. i have been on that screen a few times and there is no "save" button for any of my cameras on this page. so i cannot save the changes on this tab

    HK 2342 WD-1 / BI recording streaks really bad

    i noticed my recordings on my cameras seem to be streaking really bad. my server is @ ~ 25% right now since i am only running a portion of my cameras. i set the cameras (on camera interface) to 1920*1080 @ 25fps and allowing max br of 16Mbps. i ripped an example off of my iPad to post here...

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    good memory fenderman. i forgot about that. turned it off on three cameras and all seem to work consistently. i thought i had this issue before i did that but i have changed these so many times it all runs together. i will see how this goes. service installed again and it works that way as...

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    i think you are on to something. if i turn OFF direct to disk, it seems to work consistently. when it is ON, it won't record. i may have missed that as i was setting it up. of course this hurts bad as i am already fighting 100% CPU issues on this box too. ugh...

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    direct to disk. after i said they wouldn't record three cameras did. others still won't. i noticed all my folders show Read only in explorer. i uncheck the box and apply but it doesn't change when i go back and look. odd because the db folder shows the same but it is updating the db. not...

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    same thing. moved to local drive, rebuilt database (did not move files) so clips were blank as expected. did a manual record and clip shows with 0 seconds. cannot play file, new folder is empty.

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    ok, i will give it a go. i am lost on what to do here so anything is worth a try. i will let you know what i get. just removed service, one camera recorded - manually and the other failed. settings are the same

    @ruppmeister - what version of windows 10 are you running?

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    sigh... i just realized what happened. when i rebuilt the database it dropped everything AFTER i installed the service. i had clips as late as 3pm and when i click on them it cannot open them. i rebuilt and the last clip was 2pm timeframe. that is what i saw but was busy and did not notice...

    installed update, recording appears to occur but files are never saved

    ok this is odd. so i reinstalled windows completely - wiped disk, new install of BI. setup cameras, installed service and it did the same thing. even used a local account. it had been recording although it was off an on and hard to determine what exactly the issue was. it gave me problems...

    Camera placement opinions / IR adjustments.

    lol, it crossed my mind! for about a second. then i thought of what my wife would do with me. she'd get a bit more than "choppy" with me. ;) i was thinking about the external IR option. thanks for the suggestion. one thing i am going to do is adjust it so it is off of the bush a bit more...

    Camera placement opinions / IR adjustments.

    I replaced some bullet cameras with the new HV 2342s and while the images are much clearer, the arrangement of the IR on this turret is obviously different from what I had. The placement here is the corner of my house covering the left side of my house. What would you do to resolve this IR...

    BI / HV 6 - new 2342s, Windows 10 Home, CPU @99%!! wth.

    ok i will check that. can't get nic to 1Gbps. tested laptop and its the same. just bought a cheap 1Gbps POE switch. figures.. may have to take it back. i had a cisco switch i brought in from work but it was overkill. loud and too much heat. - - - Updated - - - and max MTU on these...

    BI / HV 6 - new 2342s, Windows 10 Home, CPU @99%!! wth.

    that definitely dropped it. now CPU is running around 25% with console up. with just service running it is around 10-15%. i noticed my NIC only negotiated to 100Mbps. i may see if i can max out MTU on cameras and get NIC on PC right to help relieve the CPU on I/O. any other ideas is...

    thanks fenderman. full version when the cameras were @ h.264, it was no better and Net i/o seemed to be 2x it is now - ~800Kbps per camera. now it is around 400kbps. i am recording in bvr format. (just double checked now to confirm) currently no virus software installed (waiting to get...

    BI / HV 6 - new 2342s, Windows 10 Home, CPU @99%!! wth.

    Finally got my HV DS-2CD2342WD-I cameras - 6 of them. While waiting I built a Windows 10 Box with an I7-4790K, 16GB RAM, as a dedicated machine for BI. Started hooking up cameras yesterday and when I got to about 4 I realized my box was maxing CPU out. I went ahead and connected them all to...
