    CPU running BI at constant 90-100%!

    Correct, the Android app was the only remote access active. "excluded BI from antivirus"? I am running AVG Anti-Virus (free version) on that PC but have not excluded any program. (I have not tried that and wonder if it is possible with the free version.) As for selectively disabling cameras to...

    CPU running BI at constant 90-100%!

    CPU 91% per Android app ... Full disclosure, I seem to have a real knack for discovering obscure/unusual issues. :-) If I worked in a mine, they'd make me the "canary". LOL

    CPU running BI at constant 90-100%!

    Headless (no monitor, keyboard or mouse). I connect remotely by VNC (when home on my LAN), LogMeIn Pro from outside my LAN, or the BI Android app.

    CPU running BI at constant 90-100%!

    Yes (apologies, I had meant to include that). All Hik cams record MP4 D2D (when triggered) while two Foscams record MP4 re-encoded (when triggered)

    CPU running BI at constant 90-100%!

    I have a PC I built it in 2011 running the latest flavor of BI with CPU usage consistently 90-100%. I have not been successful in getting this to go down anywhere near what I see others getting (60%) with many more cameras. The PC includes: MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s...

    Replacing an unreliable Slingbox, DIY-style!

    FWIW, if you can tolerate a delay, I use DVR software (SageTV Media Center V7 which was bought out and discontinued by Google) with SiliconDust HDHomeRun networked tuners to record TV (which I receive OTA via an antenna in my attic, but SiliconDust also offers tuners compatible with cable...

    save to multiple locations?

    FWIW and likely a learning moment for me as well: If you do as Fenderman suggests it seems to me that the full load for managing this is all on BI. What if you were to have a separate program copying/syncing the older where the video is being stored by BI to another folder elsewhere on the PC or...

    My Hikvision Cameras Capture Break in Vehicle and Attempt to Enter Home

    I'd love to use the push alert and photo texting. Where can I find/enable these in the BI screens/menus? Many thanks.

    Blue Iris Hardware Recommendations

    I need to upgrade my PC running BI and it seems that a Dell 7020/9020 i7 Haswell OptiPlex is pretty generally recommended. What are the real differences between a 7020 and a 9020? And how do know if it is a Haswell? Many thanks!

    4.2.4 - November 12, 2015

    This is a question about the version identifiers for the BI updates. When I check for updates in BI today (Nov. 14) it says "4.2.4.3 is now available". Meanwhile, at http://blueirissoftware.com/updates/ it shows the latest version available is "Version 4.2.4.1 (November 12, 2015)". This apparent...

    When to use RTSP

    Re: Port Forwarding issue or ? Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts at all about this? Maybe I'm just overcomplicating things, ..., wouldn't be the first time. :-)

    When to use RTSP

    Port Forwarding issue or ? I have an issue that may be related to RTSP, and more specifically I am wondering about port forwarding. I recently bought and set up a Hikvision dome camera model DS-2CD2132F-IS. Things went smoothly assigning a fixed IP address and integrating it into my BlueIris...

    jerky video in BI recordings

    I have switched from converting my recordings to mp4 to recording D2D as .bvr files to see if this resolves my jerky video issue (still evaluating). I recall now why I had used mp4 instead of bvr - I could open and view the files on my Windows 7 PC. I cannot open the bvr files, and when I try to...

    jerky video in BI recordings

    Many thanks ServiceXP, good point. I am using BI4x64 with D-to-D for the Hikvision cams and "re-encode" for the Foscam cams, with all recorded in MP4 format.

    jerky video in BI recordings

    This post is about finally understanding and addressing a problem I have (and may be common to many others as well) with BI recordings triggered by motion in which a subject (such a person entering the monitored zone) is initially captured, is then "frozen" in place, and then either disappears...

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    FWIW, ..., I recently purchased this Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I camera: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA7742GU8506 The label said its IP address was 192.0.0.64, so that was the address I used to access its server/interface. No luck. I finally relented and (after scanning the supplied...

    FWIW, I ordered this Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I Outdoor Full HD1080p 3MP IP Dome Camera on Jan. 31 and it arrived Monday (Feb. 23). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7742GU8506 I powered it up and was able to log in using its native webserver, set its IP address and other...

    I've been finding good prices on Newegg.com, though they are shipping from a third party seller in China so it takes close to a month to get them.

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    I also have one of these, plus one of the fixed lens types. My plan is to use them for indoor locations where the space is very small and/or where I do not want the camera to be easily seen. They seem perfect for that, plus they are so cheap and have excellent images.

    I am using four DS-2CD2132-I units (dome cams) and having good luck with them. Hikvision seems to be very popular among the users in this forum, though I'm sure others can recommend others as well.

    Car Camera Reviews - Mini 0803 & G1W

    My G1W-C cams arrived, but with temps in single digits not anxious to sit in the car to get them set up yet, so I plugged one into a PC USB port. The cam started up and I got a screen menu that I can toggle between USP and PC entries but nothing else. The menu button does nothing. I am guessing...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    Perfect! You are a lifesaver! I now understand what you meant by running this "locally". Did it from another PC on my LAN and it worked like a charm. I redid all my settings and all is well. It registers in BI perfectly. At the price of these cameras it is hard to complain with a straight face...
