    I also replaced the lithium button cell as it's voltage was low, down to around 2V.

    New to Hikvision NVR built in internal switch settings/stuff?

    The entire part I was not getting was that some of this stuff can't be accessed or configured from the web interface. ---- This entire project was/is for an end client who had lost touch with whoever installed this thing. They did not have any passwords or anything and half the cameras were "not...

    New to Hikvision NVR built in internal switch settings/stuff?

    Lan Interface options only, nothing else pertaining to the internal/switch network in advanced. Displayed is the Lan1 interface, Internet facing. Changing to static IP or different network range does not change the no visibility and inability to view/change any of the internal network aspects.

    New to Hikvision NVR built in internal switch settings/stuff?

    There is absolutely no reference anywhere within the interface to this second network aside from Lan1. There's only a Lan1 tab in the interface. No reference to 192.168.254.X or that it is also listening on 192.168.254.1 on the switch network. and no ability to view or change any of it. I'm...

    New to Hikvision NVR built in internal switch settings/stuff?

    Thanks for the help! I have since read and discovered the NVR appears to be "hardcoded" on a network address of 192.168.254.1 and services a LAN of 192.168.254.0/24 (guessing) On the 16 port POE switch (isolated from it's Lan1 port). There is NO reference to or ability to configure this...

    New to Hikvision NVR built in internal switch settings/stuff?

    Thanks for the reply! This makes sense, however I am not seeing any settings for this second subnet (as admin) on the NVR. Is this something that is hardcoded and is it documented? (I'm currently scraping the manuals for any info on this). There is no reference to another network (10.x.x.x)...

    New to Hikvision NVR built in internal switch settings/stuff?

    I'm working on and experiencing my first Hikvision NVR: DS-7616NI-K2 / 16P This is an older unit, firmware from 2017. I'm having difficulty getting my head around the built in internal 16 port POE switch. It appears to NOT be bridged to the single LAN port (unit management network). And...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Just a followup and to close this subject properly. After a number of BlueIris software updates (and there have been a lot of them over the past three weeks). A significant number of the updates were titled: "RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras Other minor enhancements and bug fixes" It now...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Thanks! I'm not trying to be too stubborn. Part of it is We have these things out there all over the place and of course had a desire to also figure it out if it were figure-outtable. Aside from that I'm genuinely just interested in knowing exactly how things work or don;t work in this...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and give the suggestions that you have from experience. It is very much appreciated. I am not "dead set" on using Reolink or any other cheap stuff. These work 'good enough' for the jobs I have used them for really really have for 2-3...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    What do you like better in the same price range? Or do you just have to pay a lot more for hardware acceleration? I've been pretty happy with what they do for the price range even without the hardware accel. I've had great video quality and some installations have spanned 3-4 years outdoors...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Aware of this. Also I have all motion detection disabled continuous record turned on and direct to disk recording set on. VLC just playing the video involves decoding the video using the GPU to do it. Blue Iris for some reason is failing to do this first step using the GPU to decode the stream...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Here's VLC playing the same Reolink RTSP stream at max resolution the camera will put out (2560x1440) and 30FPS and it us using the GPU as expected/wanted. You can also see BlueIris using some GPU for the one test stream I have going to it at 1080P from a Reolink @30FPS. BlueIris has four...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Frame rate doesn't seem to matter in my tests here. I can set it to 1 or 2FPS at any of the three highest resolutions in the camera and they all fail with the same error. Set it to 1080P and highest framerate (30FPS) and the error goes away and Blue Iris starts using GPU. (Intel quick sync)...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Then why is it working fine on the 1080P setting? And why is the higher settings working fine on VLC player when I open an RTSP stream in VLC player with it?

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    I understand what you are saying. But I'd expect tearing and dropping and distortion in the video NOT and instant Blue Iris fail message saying the video stream is "incompatible -10" And then it works perfectly on the 1080 setting. (with low iframe rates). Not that interesting: the Camera...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    I'm still lost on hardware acceleration "compatibility" And is the original reason for my post. I don't know if iframes have anything to do with it. And it's working perfectly if I set the resolution to 1080P coming from the cameras. But I would like to use the higher resolutions and employ...

    Found it... I'm just being an idiot. It's under status and then you get the tabs. You're talking about the "key" field? I take it? same as iframe? I know nothing about this. I don;t know what's good and what's bad and what it has to do with hardware acceleration "compatibility" And I...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    I'm in Blue Iris 5 and I don;t have a "cameras tab". Can you explain that a bit more? I'm guessing there is real time stats there or maybe you are talking about version 4. If I go into settings there is a cameras tab there but it only has global settings no data like you suggest. If I go...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Any comment on this? Is the iframe issue gone when you set a Reolink to 1080P? Why does 1080P 30FPS work perfectly but if I switch to any higher resolution BI says it is incompatible -10? How is BI determining if something is compatible or not?

    Any one use Free (unlicensed) Windows 10 w/ Blue Iris?

    You don't need to enter any product key to use Windows 10 in unactivated mode. It just enters a generic key of it's own for you if you tell it you don't have a product key. I'm throughly disgusted with Microsoft. We are a partner. I personally pay full price for any Microsoft product that I...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    What I have found so far (in one day) is they are rock solid with hardware accel. turned on and set for 30FPS 1080P or below. If I want the native higher def. output it only works with hardware accel. turned off. In act it automatically turns it off and I get the "HW VA not compatible: -10 in...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Thanks for the heads-up. For the price I have been happy with the reolink stuff as far as the video quality and outdoor reliability. I never expected them to work as good as they do when we bought our first couple of them 4 years ago. They'd been left outdoors in Michigan crap winter...

    Blue Iris 5 Reolink Cameras and Hardware Acceleration Not working

    Had already tried the Generic/ONVIF H264 as this is posted in many forum posts. Switching to RTSP instead of default (HTTP?) made it work. weird. I think HTTP is default. This is buggy stuff. I don't think http or rtsp should make a difference in whether hardware video codec decode acceleration...

    Just did a clean Install of BI 5. This worked fine in the past when I set it up on older Intel CPUs/Graphics with same cameras. Could really use a hand figuring out why this is not working now. --- Clean install of Windows 10 pro 64bit 16GB RAM integrated graphics only (no video card...
