    Negative. I will give that a try though here shortly. Curious though, why would that make the cameras change frame rate?

    I can see the cameras, the feed IS working, but its ridiculously choppy and laggy

    Okay, I excluded my HDD. Resetting now. However I feel like that wouldn't explain why the cameras worked fine for several weeks and now all of a sudden they are extremely slow

    No, the issue is happening on the BI tower itself, both natively and remote. ALL cameras got the same issue overnight. Cameras and PC are on the same switch. Nothing is connected to the router except the switch. Yes, video storage is on HDD and the OS and db folder are on my boot ssd.

    20 fps, h264, sub streams on, direct encoding, BI setup is in my signature. 2tb WD drive. I mean, I understand learning curves for new software, but the fact that I changed zero settings or hardware and overnight it went from perfectly smooth to almost unusable.. why!!!!

    Man this is aggravating. Now an amcrest camera I've had up for AHHH! Now this morning, I check on my cameras and they are all lagging. Extremely choppy, yesterday was perfect buttery smooth and now you can hardly even watch someone walk by they just skip around the frames! I didnt change a...

    Can you even get Internet explorer anymore? I'll try the hard reset, I only did it for like 15 seconds until the IR lights went off and reset

    Blue and white, I'm using Edge, same exact way I set up the one earlier. It lets me login with the password successfully and everything but I cant click on network, settings, it just doesnt do anything its really weird. The menu is like glitched?

    Oh GREAT another problem. I found a IPC-T54IR-AS on facebook used for $90 10 minutes away and went and picked it up. Plugged it in, intialized it, switched network IP and the camera GUI browser loaded up, but im unable to click on anything. The video feed doesnt load, the menu kind of loads...

    Well the dahua program says ConfigTool which is what I was meaning, but I got it working by changing my network adapters IP finally

    No I didnt figure out how to change the adapter.. I was supposed to plug it into the camera right? I couldnt see it anywhere. And also - wow this empire is quite a bit more crisp than those amcrests. I would hope so for almost triple the cost ;)

    I think it should! The IP change on ethernet worked. I wish I would have figured it out on this USB adapter though haha not sure what Ill use that for now. Now to find a solid PTZ

    I reset the camera. I open IPconfig, initialize Dahua camera with a password, try to edit the IP to what you guys provided me and I just get this error. No way to find the IP or change it it seems. The USB > Ethernet just arrived, I plugged it in but not sure how to edit the IP using it either

    I just ordered the USB adapter, only $9 will be here tomorrow. The dual NIC is interesting, I actually do have a PCI ethernet card as well as the onboard motherboard ethernet..

    So this just enables you to plug the camera directly into the tower and change IP without installing it first?

    I've tried everything possible in the IP config to no avail, I'm about to be onsite shortly and will try changing the IP address of the computer. The USB to ethernet seems like it could be handy? as I am planning on adding at least another 5 cameras to the property (would like to put a nice PTZ...

    Might be a bit past my skill level there. I dont have an extra router laying around right now. Why do the $50 amcrest cameras connect so easily but these $200 cameras dont?

    I did it in person as well with no luck. I have windows pro on both machines as well I can give it a try but I set up the camera physically and cant get the IP to change, I went home for the night and still was trying to mess with it via remote to no avail

    Yeah thats the reason I haven't done it yet, I physically set up yesterday and everything I've tried failed ( short of you having my change my ethernet settings). Ill be back up there tomorrow, but for some reason I dont have high hopes of that working

    If I login to the amcrest via browser, under Network > TCP/IP > Mode, it does have DHCP checked.
