Well back to the same issue. Got 5 days out of it before the memory leak started again. What makes me crazy is I turn off HWVA and the issue still remains. The GPU monitor shows no activity, so I know it's not using it anymore, but then why doesn't the CPU and memory usage go back to what it...

Day 4 and all is well. I'm going to say they have fixed the memory leak, at least as it applied to my setup. Now it's just the double clicking a cam for fullscreen that needs fixing.

Well I've updated to version .66 and turned back on HWVA. All seems well for now. Last time the problem didn't show until day three. Today is day two. So now with 38 3MB cams, 10 continuously recording, 28 on motion and live fps set to 10, the CPU is sitting around 29% and the GPU is 85%...

Yeah, with the HWVA turned on in Settings, it becomes the default and no other setting needs to be changed in the camera properties (at least that is the official claim). I never saw a need to poke around the camera properties. Thing that I find interesting is it really only helps in viewing...

I didn't have the nvidia installed when I first installed BI5. After running into CPU utilization issues, and no version of the Intel video driver would help, I installed the Nvidia card to see if that would help. It didn't and I reinstalled BI5 to get things back to normal. Now that I have...

I did the update, but haven't turned on HWVA yet. Will bite the bullet and do that today.

Yeah, I've been working with support. I managed to get things back to 40 - 50% usage by uninstalling and reinstalling. I then installed the latest update, but I'm hesitant about turning on the HWVA, but will have to. I am going to leave the Nvida card in to run the monitor and turn on Intel...

It says it is up to date. I did a clean install 4 days ago on a clean windows 10 install with all current updates. I think, tomorrow, I will wipe out the install, reinstall and import the settings over. I have priority support, but something tells me it won't been soon enough for them to get...

The other issue I'm seeing is with maximizing a camera. I double click and it doesn't go full screen. If I right click on it, there is a mark next to maximize, so it should be. I click on the maximize, the one already marked, and then it opens full screen. I have to hit esc twice to reduce...

I did, but there is no reason not to reach out to other users to see if any have had similar issues.

I know there is a problem with onboard Intel video (Memory Leak), but I have tried all available driver versions for the i9 processor and none of them helped. Actually, my belief is the problem I have is not video driver related. I built a new machine to run BI5 and replace the current machine...

Well your panties are going to get pretty twisted if that's all it takes. Your OCD is not my issue.

According to BI after the find/inspect, the cameras respond to it having the ability. Now as to why it doesn't work, I couldn't say. Besides, I use the BI motion detection, not the camera's, so by default this should be off.

I emailed them to see if they can reproduce the problem and hopefully fix it.

You feel better now?

BI has the following on the function I just turned off. The last sentence is interesting. I'm pretty sure its what has been causing the cams to stop responding. Seems they might have been too busy to respond. "The Get events with PullPointSubscription setting is set automatically if you use...

Well I disabled that setting under the network settings (Get events with PullPointSubscription) and none of the new cameras have stopped responding like they were. They have been up and working fine for almost 2 hours. The log before the change was filled with the errors and retries about...

I am trying to figure out if something in BI is hammering the camera with some kind of requests that keep it too busy to respond. I have just found some function that is now turned on for the new cameras that isn't for the existing ones (Get events with PullPointSubscription). This is under...

Okay, some may know from previous post I have over 30 cameras on one machine and have it running pretty smooth with very low CPU usage for the number of 3.1MP cameras. Well, those cameras are still working fine, but it seems every new camera I add isn't doing so well. I added a camera the...

So, other than VPN, how you would you remotely access the cameras to update firmware or make changes to settings?

First they would need to know the IP of my network, then they would need to know what ports I opened for forwarding. All other ports are blocked. So even if they managed to find the port number I set for a camera, that's the only place they would be routed to. There is no other place for the...

I had to assign ports to each camera so they could be accessed from outside for updates and adjustments. Only way to do that was to assign unique port numbers and redirect in the router. I've been to lazy lately to find a better solution as it's not a priority at the moment.

I had the exact same issue. I fixed it by changing the buffer size of each camera in BI from the default of 3MB to 10MB. This might be more than needed, but I haven't had time to adjust down until it happens again. I have the memory and it's working, so I leave it alone.

Yeah, guess I got caught up in FPS. They look just fine when properly setup for bitrate and other settings at 15fps. Not to mention I probably increased my storage capacity by about 40%.

Well I've lowered all cameras to 15fps and VBR. It now runs at 39%, so I'm sure my goal of 42 cams is well within reach! I had to tell BI that the cams were at 20fps as setting to 15 caused some bad pauses and other issues with image quality. Once set to 20, recordings were fine.

If I take it off auto exposure, I have to change it constantly for different lighting.

It regularly records between 1 and 5 cameras at a time and sometimes higher. These cams cover an apartment complex consisting of 3 buildings. There are hallway, entry, exit, breezeway, parking and alleyway cams. I don't think I've seen much above 6 cameras recording at the same time. Night...

The thing about the 30fps cams is they are all in outdoor locations with fast motion. I tried 20, but most cars moved too fast to capture anything useful. Now I am able, most of the time, to be able to pull license plates by going frame by frame. Since most cams are VBR, I am moving about...

Well at 63%, I feel I can get the additional 5 domes up and running next month. The last time I added 8 domes, it went up 15%. This time it's only 5 cams and they framerate will be lower for each come (15 instead of 20). I think the last 3, which will be 30fps outdoor bullet cams covering an...

Funny you mention hardware acceleration. I started a thread on that very feature as I couldn't get it working and my CPU usage went through the roof when turned on. Seems none of the i7 extreme CPUs have the graphics functions, so it's all software rendering. The new cams will be on the same...
