    SD50430U-HNI Auto Tracking Configs

    Have had the Dahua SD5043OU-HNI deployed for several months now. Very reliable, great video, powerful PTZ. But I cannot figure its Auto Tracking and Facial Recognition features out after countless hours of reconfiguring things... The only auto tracking that zooms in and tracks objects as a...

    Blue Iris not triggering on Motion/IVS, Dahua ONVIF Camera

    I'm unable to get Blue Iris to trigger recording based upon Dahua IP camera (ONVIF). The camera Alert window shows the camera is triggering, but no recording occurs in Blue Iris (normal BI motion triggering works okay). The camera is Dahua IPC-HDBW4431R-ZS, a sweet new 4 MP H.265 motorized...

    4MP using H.265 codec

    I can now confirm that this issue has been fixed in latest software update 4.4.9.10! Very impressed by how quickly Blue Iris Support responded with the fix. Enjoy the H.265 direct to disk support. I haven't performed an exhaustive comparison test with H.264, but on the surface it appears to...

    (Resolved) BI crashes upon recording

    Actually, I received a reply from BI Support already today asking for remote access to the camera, so looks like they're going to have a look.

    (Resolved) BI crashes upon recording

    Yep. I just hit this same issue... still not fixed. I reported it as a bug to BI, but H.265 is still not working properly - we'll see if there's anybody home.

    4MP using H.265 codec

    Just tried disk to disk recording. Unfortunately with H.265, BI crashes when attempting to perform direct-to-disk recording. Too bad, because H.264 direct to disk looks like it's around 5 times more space efficient than re-encoding at 100% for highest clarity like I'm doing now. Presumably...

    4MP using H.265 codec

    Good suggestions. Yeah, I just looked and my baseline CPU usage is around 10% without BI running, so looks like BI is using around 13%/15% of the CPU in the test mentioned above. Will have a look at the direct to disk recording. Last time I did that, I lost the BI timestamps, but could...

    4MP using H.265 codec

    H.265 is superior to H.264 is most every way. In my tests with latest 4 MP Dahua camera that support both H.265 and older H.264 variants, H.265 beats it hands down. Here's what I see: Encoder / CPU Usage / Idle Bandwidth / High-motion/Peak Bandwidth H.265 /...
