    Multi cam setup, one cam taking too much storage space

    No can do. Its actually some cheap ass can that was given to me for free by a neighbour (it was a spare can from hin cheap dvr system. Not even sure how the hell it ended up getting recognised in bi, because it was a while ago now and if I try to re-add from scratch I can't get it recognised...

    Multi cam setup, one cam taking too much storage space

    Thanks for the reply. It definitely hasn't always been that way, but I'm not sure how to get it back. Here are the current settings: It is a cheap 'n' nasty cam, but at some point this worked just fine with smaller file sizes. Any ideas why ? The settings page doesn't seem to make any...

    Multi cam setup, one cam taking too much storage space

    Hi all. I've searched and failed I'm afraid. Had the setup for quite a while and I'll be the first to admit that there was a lot of poking around in the dark and I couldn't really explain to anyone properly how I managed to get the cam settings just right. I managed to get the system set up so...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    Just wanted to chuck a bit of praise in here - noticed recently that live video preview had a few issues. Contacted the developer (Ken?) with details, and within hours he'd released a fix. Absolutely astounding levels of support here! I don't often need to report in here, but every time I do...

    two BI install machines with one license

    If you enjoy this, try the home automation route too. It's quite satisfying having a bog standard pir detecting presence on the porch (no messing about with false alerts from cams), and having a voice announcement in the front room whilst a tablet switches on and shows the porch cam. Takes a...

    Showing a particular camera fullscreen on a specific tablet

    Hi, Been searching for a while on how to do this, and it's probably the last missing piece from my home automation system. Just looking for the best way to be able to invoke a chosen camera fullsceen on a tablet. This would be to react to an event, eg motion detected on porch? Motion...

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    Righto, update. Been running absolutely spot on now for 18 days, taking 570gb. Very happy with this result.

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    Update. Read around a bit more and found that apparently, windows 10 task manager only shows gpu info if the (video?) driver is wddm 2.0 compatible. Mine is apparently 1.3. Using cpuid, the gpu is actually showing as having a 20% load. Total waste of my time! Grrrrr.

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    Since tweaking the bitrates, I now have around 6 days so far coming in at around 180gb (about 30gb per day), which is way better than the.same space only giving 30 hrs! Note that 5 cams record 24/7, and 3 are internal cams only recording during motion. Slowly getting there !

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    Hi.. There are 2 cards, but the add on card is disabled via device manager and the onboard Intel one is connected directly to the monitor, no remote admin. I'll remove the nvidia card and report back, I didn't realise it would have affected anything if it wasn't in use. Apologies.

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    Thanks. I've altered it back to Direct to Disk. CPU usage back to about 20%. I've read the link, I've actually trawled the forum quite a bit already and googled etc. Could someone please just clarify a couple of points because I'm still unsure...? 1) It seems that hardware acceleration...

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    I've just altered all the cameras record settings from direct to disc to this: And cpu usage has jumped from around 20% to about 30%. Still no load on gpu in task manager, is that to be expected ? I also assume that the space requirements for continuous recording will drop dramatically...

    Basic performance query regarding hardware acceleration

    Hi All. My system has kind of grown from a simple one-cam system running on a laptop to my current i5 desktop. The system has 8 cams, slowly built over a few years. There's a few foscam, some hikvision and some generic ebay crap in there too. They're all set to 10fps (in cam interface...

    Storage issues

    Apparently when swapping PCs a while back, I neglected to alter the blue iris service user/pass, which I have now rectified. I'd actually been running my current front room pc (which is actually an i5 laptop permanently hooked up to a monitor/mouse/keyb) as for around 4 years as a blue iris...

    Storage issues

    Forgive me, I've read the help file and scoured the posts here but I'm unable to find a solution to this problem. I have 2 machines. One's an i5 laptop running BlueIris (limited storage) and the other is an old dualcore desktop which I use pretty much just as a big network hard drive. I've...

    Hikvision dome issues

    and... after. Jesus. That's all it was. Occam's Razor. still not the best, but to be honest the glass looks pretty scratched. It's never been used ! *agitation* Ah well, live and learn, eh ? = p

    Hikvision dome issues

    I've actually moved it to make it easier and installed more cams. So now the dome is at head height in the back garden, underneath a lean-to shelter. It's still the same now, as of midnight, so I'm not sure it's dew. This pic is current. ...so I'm going to try to clean the lens now.

    Hikvision dome issues

    Dew sounds like a possibility, never thought. It's been late on (like, 11pm) before it seems to happen so haven'e been keen to go up some ladders then ! Thanks for the replies thus far = )

    Hikvision dome issues

    Evening all, Thought I'd ask in here before giving up on this one, my googling has failed to assist. Basically, I have a dome cam mounted vertically. The lens is pointing close to 90 degrees out (i.e. virtually straight out from the wall). Day time is perfect, night time the pic gets...
