1. To put this point to bed once & for all. I am NOT selling my cameras just to get lower cpu use on BI! You seem to be missing that point. Again NOT SELLING CAMS! You can call my cams names all you want but NOT SELLING CAMS! 2. I bought them like 2 years ago & already said if that's the case...

I believe I just answered my own question with that little blurb of text! I think what I want isn't possible with the video engine on BI. The image engine in ZM that gives it all that flexibility is also how it's doing stuff BI can't. I'm now thinking that BI just can't do this with out...

If you're talking about the framerate limiting compatibility mode, it made the samsung cameras skip around & ghost really badly & slowly get like way behind till it what I'm guessing is catching an iframe & makes a huge jump forward. If not, what setting are you talking about? The arguing about...

I believe you need the MJPEG link of http://192.168.0.107/videostream.cgi?rate=0&user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD] not sure about that 81 port. I'd leave it out & see if the defaults work before I add that in. Not sure what source type that is either & I don't have a working ZM install as I'm...

Again this all runs perfect with 10-20% cpu use in ZM. I was asking if there is a setting like in ZM that limits the frame analyze or similar setting in BI to control the cpu use. Like in ZM, I can set that per camera to 3 fps analyze, 30 fps record & 6 fps display @ around 14% cpu use with 7...

Even tho I paid about $800 for them it's irrelevant? So... go out of my way to sell my cameras on ebay & get new cameras. The camera you mentioned is $109.99 on amazon but I guess "what they cost today are irrelevant". I loose about 30 degrees of view too for my trouble & nice light balance...

They are where about $200 & I have 4 of them... again, a couple years ago. Why you'd argue that is beyond me. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SmartCam-1080p-Full-HD-Camera/dp/B00J38NVHE <--current price $159

With direct to disk, I loose the ability to do periodic & the date/time overlay. With out the periodic, BI misses small things I want caught such as someone breaking into the house across the street. I already have it set to 3 ftp max for display & all that. Even with direct to disk it's still...

I give up. Programs are getting smothered by BI's cpu usage of up to 70% on a I7 & 30fps. Cars can drive right past the camera at 1.5fps & not trigger an event sometimes dropping to only seeing .3fps. Even tried to use ZM to cut the frame rate but BI won't accept any of ZMs image feeds. So I'm...

I did but it doesn't seem to work with direct to disk on. I was trying the direct to disk & trying to remember all the wonky things it did with these cameras. Playing around with some of the new settings that's been added since I last used it over 6 months or more ago. I remember why I always...

Yeah it usually starts a second or 2 after the trigger even. It just doesn't work with these cameras I guess. I just let it run for 10 mins. The cars that go by magically appear about half past my house. LOL

I was using it to see stuff that was missed. It would fly by but I could pause it to see what happened. With direct to disk it never captures any of the periodic parts just the triggers. Yeah I know in ZM I had em all set to 3 FPS analyze & 6 FPS record. In BI I have no control at all over the...

Well fudge. In ZM that one setting drops the CPU usage to like 14% total usage with 7 cameras all at 1080p & most of them at 30 fps. I went back to ZM cuz BI was eating my CPU alive & making all the other software I run on it choke. Mainly Plex & video re-encoding. OH yeah... the timelaps...

Is there any way to limit the analyze fps like you can in ZM? In ZM I'd set that to like 3 fps & it would use next to no resources at 30 fps. In BI, I could never get the CPU usage under control so I went back to ZM for the last 6 months but I am now trying BI again since it has sound & I had...
