    Having trouble with substream.

    I swapped them and it does improve the recording but it spikes my cpu usage from 11% up to 29%, thats what happened when I did it with the old profile, with just 3 cams(2x8mp and 1x5mp) (computer is Ryzen 2700+ 16GB, 500ssd, 4TB WD Purple for BI recordings) Screenshot shows the stream profile.

    Having trouble with substream.

    In my post above I used the find/inspect but then changed the Make to Amcrest giving the weird stream profile that fenderman spotted. So I went ahead and reinstalled the camera and reset it to factory defaults. I used the default mainstream and substream drop menus and attached a screenshot...

    Having trouble with substream.

    Having trouble with substream.

    After checking some files it doesn't look like it has anything to do with nighttime. The daytime pic above is a livestream, I just check a daytime recording and it looks like crap as well. I think I'll do a reset on the camera in case I borked the settings, when I was in there earlier today

    Log in to UI3 on demo version

    Trying out the BI demo and I'm trying to use the UI3 it's asking for username and password. I don't see anywhere that I can even create a user/pass, is UI3 available on the demo?

    Ok I got it! When I reset the camera I powered off and just pressed the button for a couple seconds. Found a link on the proper way to reset, hold for 45 seconds while being powered on. That was the whole problem, so simple:banghead: You guys never gave up and for that I'm grateful!
