    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    4096 in IPConfig. Blue Iris is reporting about 470 kB at 25 fps, 2.1M (about the same as the other Dahua Starlights). I was able to push it as high as I wanted in IPConfig but wasn't seeing any further improvements.

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Breakthrough! I didn't change anything on the DB-11 and it ran fine since my previous post. Really got me thinking about what is causing this. So back into IPConfig I go because I really need to change the bitrate and a few image mode settings. Changed the bitrate, saved, all is good... let...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Its back online. I can't explain it as I wasn't doing anything with it. Got frustrated and went to do something else. Came back and there it is showing up in BI. I changed nothing between the errors I was getting and the success I'm having now - leaving me zero confidence that anything is...

    I've tried 3 different power supplies. I've settled on one thats getting about 15.5 VDC at the doorbell. Should that be enough?

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    I have been trying to get the DB-11 back online for hours. Its rebooting so fast I can't complete the process to add a device to IMOU. Don't know what else to try here. I have six other Dahua cams working without issue... this one appears to be a piece of junk.

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    FWIW, the above factory reset procedure with holding down the reset button while power cycling did not work to reset my DB-11. I tried it multiple times. What worked was holding the reset button for about 5 seconds until dark blue light came one, then releasing and hitting it again to start...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Factory reset and fiddled with it for a while and got it back online. I left it sitting with the IMOU app running and the camera died again. Note I also tried to save a configuration setting via ConfigTool at about the same time. So I suspect either the live stream or ConfigTool is causing...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Well I'm stuck. Came home yesterday to find the DB-11 disconnected from the network. Using the ConfigTool I can see that it keeps going on and off the network. Inspecting the device looks like its rebooting constantly. When I can get it to stay online long enough I can get to the config...

    Gadget, thanks for the ConfigTool info. I bumped up the bitrate and it immediately cleaned up the image. Probably as good as I'm going to get without an extender. Appreciate the hep.

    Done! I knew there had to be a better way to share that. Thanks for your help.

    Read a little? I feel like all I do is read this forum. I've learned so much from the great guys on here and have asked very few questions. Clearly I missed it. Appreciate the info.

    Thanks, Gadget. No surprise but I can't find any wedge kits to angle the camera better. There are tons of kits available for Ring cameras... wonder if the size is close enough that I could make one of them work?

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Just got my DB-11 up and running. Had the same problem mentioned earlier with the serial number not matching the sticker on the device. However, I was able to see it embedded into the Hotspot name, so I just wrote that down and went back through setup. Worked fine. Added to BI with no...

    Dahua black

    I just bought a couple of IPC-HDW5231R-ZE's from Andy. I asked for black and got black. They look great IMO.

    Yes. The string is verified from my laptop. Works fine.

    Monocle: View IP Cameras with Alexa (Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet)

    I'm trying to get this working with BI and have what I think is a basic problem. I've verified the URL from my laptop, cut and pasted into the Monocle setup but not working. In fact, I can see no evidence in the BI connection logs that the Show attempts to connect at all. So I simplified the...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I'm running Blue Iris and currently have 6 cameras scattered about the property. Is it possible to automatically swing to a preset PTZ location when one of my other cameras triggers? For instance, if the driveway cam triggers, could BI swing this camera to a PTZ pre-set for my driveway? And...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    Well since I couldn't make any progress backing out software/drivers, I decided to see if I could tackle it from the hardware side. Reviewed my box and found all memory installed in bank 1. No bueno as that basically kills my GPU/acceleration performance. Even though performance was fine...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    Yes, I've tried multiple graphics driver versions. I have the latest (22.x) installed right now, and its definitely not working well. Rolling back to 15.4x as I type.

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    Wow, I missed that. Thanks for saving me the effort. I had to reboot yesterday as BI became unresponsive with CPU pegged at 100. I've been watching my BI system all morning and its hovering around 70% CPU since the reboot. Roughly double what it used to run. If I try and playback a...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    I don't have a good answer, but I've rolled back both the driver to 21.x and BI and it didn't help. Note my only option for "rolling back" BI was to install and older version, which is not really a clean return to previous state. I suspect I'll have to start from scratch with a fresh Windows...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Just a quick note to report that I downgraded (installed an old version) to 4.6.3 and it made no difference at all. Still high CPU and pegged when playing back video. I also checked my graphics driver and its still a 2016 version, so that didn't change...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    I don't believe mine is a memory leak as I can immediately recreate the problem after reboot. Reboot BI PC, login, launch BI, play back recordings. CPU immediately pegs at 100% and system goes intermittently unresponsive. Same activity before the upgrade would push CPU somewhere between 45 - 55%.

    Love the graphs and insight. I'll try enabling the limit decoding feature tonight and see what happens.

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    The same thing happened to me this weekend. System running perfectly around 35% CPU typical. After update and reboot its idling at about 50% and pegs the CPU at 100% during playback. Its missing obvious trigger events, I'm guessing due to high CPU. I love this product and its been rock solid...

    Blue Iris - BlinkStick

    I went ahead and ordered one of these along with the diffuser square: BlinkStick | Products - BlinkStick Square Was $30 total after GBP -> USD conversion so no too much lost if I can't make it work. Found a few sources that have built command line scripts. I think if I can get it to work...

    Thanks to this forum, I have a Blue Iris based security system with Starlight cams that I absolutely love. Having a blast learning all this stuff. So thanks to all the members! I have BI in my living room connected to my TV. Works great. However, since I'm normally watching TV, I'd like to...

    Thats encouraging. I'll see if I can get it for free and if so I'll give it a go.
