    Video Quality in BI5

    Solved, and thanks to all who contributed and offered help. In BI 4 in camera video settings you did not have options for video main and sub. There was no difference in video quality of any camera whether you were viewing in a group of cameras or when you view each camera full screen. In BI 5...

    Video Quality in BI5

    bigredfish I had 6 cameras streaming at the same time without issue. My main screen with 4 cameras now look like what I had 12 years ago with 720 cameras. TonyR, I will try what you are suggesting later today, but I am not quite sure where in BI to do what you are suggesting. T

    Video Quality in BI5

    First image with substream adjusted in cam GUI the max. second is when I view full screen. First is simply unacceptable compared to BI4. I have even disabled substream without any luck.

    Video Quality in BI5

    I have tried with one camera to up the substream to the max of 1920x1080 and bitrate from 512 to 4096, saved but I do not see any difference in what BI shows. I even restarted BI with no luck. Can BI5 be forced to use main vs sub stream?

    Video Quality in BI5

    Just to add, I am viewing 4 cams on one screen. The quality is bad, low res. However, when I click on a cam and the screen is full with that camera on the resolution changes and it looks like it should.

    Video Quality in BI5

    I have spent a whole day working with BI 5 after several years with Bi4. I cannot get the video quality to match BI4, not even close. All my cameras are 4K as is the display monitor, I am sure there is a setting but I can't seem to find it no matter what I try. Camera settings have not...

    BI 5 Help needed

    In BI 4 while in group view I could just drag a camera to a new location on the screen to change layout. In BI 5 I go to edit layout and I can drag cameras but they go back to original layout. Hide disabled cameras does not work either. Also show camera names and borders cannot be unchecked...

    BI License Issue

    I did deactivate. I also appreciate your response and explanation. It is almost like loosing a phone when BI is not working properly. :)

    BI License Issue

    Thanks, I will wait for the reply. This is a paid license and I think it is only reasonable to expect it to work and not to have to keep purchasing copies when one has issues with a PC.

    BI License Issue

    So in the last 2 days I had to re-install windows on my PC to solve a couple of issues I have. First try was to install a new copy and keep my software. That did not solve my problem. The second (today) was a complete fresh install and re-install my software. Now after installing BI 4.XX when I...

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    So where can I buy this camera from? A newer version will also work. Just looking for PTZ, 4MP 1/1.8 camera. Auto tracking is not at all important to me.

    BI No Longer Connects

    I have no problem upgrading to ver 5 if for no other reason than supporting great software package. I also reviewed the new ($9.99) BI app on google play (via pc) and it seems that the app is at least the ones I read for April of this year is plagued by negative reviews from people with the...

    BI No Longer Connects

    Sebastian, Are you suggesting I go to ver. 5 because that seems to be the only upgrade available. Also, setting a VPN might be more than I would know to do unless there was a simple guide out there. Ver. 4 and the phone app was so easy to setup and use in every way, that is why I use Bi...

    BI No Longer Connects

    I have been using BI for 6 years. Have had it installed on my phones for remote viewing on both iphones & Android. A few day ago I purchased a new phone, migrated settings and apps to new phone. When I ran BI from the new Android phone it worked flawless, but now BI on the original phone stopped...

    Frame Rate ?

    Thanks to all for the input. I just wanted to know if it was possible since I have that flexibility & ability with amcrest cams. I Love the SD49225T-HN Dahua that I am using. More like a fun thing for me, and the images day and night are absolutely wonderful. As far as practical, what is for...

    Frame Rate ?

    MR D, i did mean choppy. And yes, while I could use 12fps for both I would like to be able to use the higher rate when I choose if that is possible. And since all other parameters change accordingly when switching between day & night mode I don't understand why the rate stays at the lowest setting.

    Frame Rate ?

    My frame rate for night mode is set at 12 fps. For Day mode it is set at 30 fps. Both are CBR. What I have noticed that at night the video will switch to 12 fps, the in the morning when the cam switches to day mode it never goes back to 30 fps. It stays at 12 and motion is blurry. Is there...

    Thanks fenderman, what you say makes sense. I think I want to go the VPN route before exploring anything else.

    Blueiris Remote not working. Again

    Philip, the issue/thread you pointed to is not what is happening to me. I am getting the (unable to reach server). If in the web server tab I disable web server, close window, reopen and enable again, remote works again for about 5 to 10 minutes then I get the unable to reach server again.
