I changed the i-frame setting to 1 and I think that's fixed it... Thanks everyone for all the help.

It's not resolved, it's worse! I want the proper playback to start at the same moment that the preview does...

So I changed the settings on that camera. The FPS rate was on 10 so I left it on 10. The i-frame was set on 2 so I changed that to 10. Sent the dog and cat in front of that camera, then looked at the previews vs the proper recordings. Now the proper recordings, instead of starting 4 or 5...

I think you're on to something with the I-frame setting (in the actual camera settings apparently) - I found this on the BI website forums - I'll get to work on it and report back tomorrow after another night of cat comings and goings! e: Not replaying entire clip Post by toddgibbs123 » Sat...

Can you tell me where to find the I-frame setting on BI please...

We're recording clips direct to disc, so I believe as this doesn't involve compressing of data, i-frame and key frame settings are not involved. Is this correct?

Ah, maybe it's that - a while back we needed to reduce CPU load so we reduced the frame rates on some of the cameras from 25 FPS to 10 FPS. Do I need to make the same change to the FPS settings within the BI program for those cameras? If I didn't do that, could it cause this problem?

I've viewed this as mainstream direct from the BI program on the dedicated computer we use, and also as a substream on the web interface on a different computer, but the result is the same. We record only on triggar, motion activated. The issue really is why the content of a clip is different...

I've already tried that, it increases RAM and processor load, and I still get 3 or 4 seconds missing from the start of the full-screen playback compared to the thumbnail summary.

I have one of my cameras indoors trained on our catflap so we can keep an eye on our cat's movements, especially at night. In the morning I have a quick look at the thumbnails, which often show his head just emerging from the catflap as he is coming in, and the clock on the thumbnail will say...

His technique on the gas pedal reminded me of my late father's attempts to learn how to use cooker controls when preparing meals after my mother died. He only recognised two positions - OFF and MAX... I did think of informing the driver's employers but I thought he's probably in enough trouble...

The first woman didn't exactly run like hell to help him....

There are plenty of turret cameras out there with the ring of leds around the optical lens just like my bullet cameras, so I'm assuming it's the more modern type with a single lens for the led light which are considered to be much better when there is spider silk around. Why exactly is the...

You were right! I went to look again and this time with my plus 2 glasses and a magnifying glass and then I could see there were some tiny strands of spider silk that I'd not spotted before. You're also right about my new cameras, so what is it about turret cameras and 'Exir' that stops them...

I've recently upgraded some of our cameras with Reolink PoE 5MP HD cameras, unlike the old cameras these have IR for night vision. I'm now getting multiple false triggers because for an hour or two during the night each of them starts displaying 'cobwebs' on the image, which shake and move...

Thanks anijet for the idea, I switched to 'high definition' and although it now records a very distant human object moving at the back of the field, it's also generating hundreds of false alerts every day - I think I'll have to settle for turning on recording manually when he starts the mower...

I'm in England and there are various laws concerning 'noise nuisance', zoning (ie agricultural use vs residential etc) and the right to peacefully enjoy your own property so I have all that to look into. Meanwhile, I just ordered from Amazon the biggest, loudest most powerful megaphone you can...

The guy who owns a 3 acre field of grass and scrub behind our garden has decided to attempt to mow all of it with a domestic 18" rotary mower and it's driving us insane. We've put up with endless mowing for 8 hours a day for over a week, he refuses to stop so I decided to use BI to gather...

Yes it's exactly that, I bought it because it has the same external case as the old 'white' camera - now it turns out that they were sold (as a cloud-only device) under a false promise of free lifetime access to the Y-cam cloud, then after a year or so they informed all their customers that they...

It's Y-cam 'white' indoor camera (although I'm using it outdoors) like this - Y-Cam White SD Wireless IP Camera W/ MicroSD Slot YCW003

Thanks for the info but I think you misunderstood my original post. I'm not looking for software to digitize license plates that appear on my cameras, my post was about the poor image quality on recorded stills which prevents me from reading the license plate number myself direct from the image...

What does LPR mean? Where will I find that area?

In a recent post here I mentioned I had ordered a new HD camera to replace an older model which was only SD, and the image needed to be sharper. The old camera is a 'Y-cam white' model, very flat and compact and fits in a concealed cavity I made specially for the purpose. Because of this, I...

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that but the images are exactly the same. I'm assuming that the conversion of video image to jpeg file for the stills results in loss of definition.

Sometimes drivers briefly park across the bottom of our drive and walk onto our property, our motion cameras capture footage of the side of the vehicle and the driver walking around, but not the vehicle license plate. For this reason I mounted another cam in the front hedge looking lengthways, I...

I have a BI system with 9 cameras around the exterior of our house and the driveway. I started off with 3 cameras and gradually increased and improved the system over the last 5 years. By far the most important thing I learned (as the result of an actual theft from our garage) is that although...

As an experiment, I opened a web page using ie and left it running as well as BI. This morning I had two crash reports from BI (04.04 and 04.11, it always seems to happen during the night) but each time it was successfully restarted now I have the auto restart enabled. Interestingly, the ie...

Awsum140 suggested I 'check windows error logs, carefully' - that info is a bit over my head so I posted on here, then bp2008 said that this information doesn't really provide any clues. Should I give up on the error logs? It crashed twice last night but fortunately now I've got the...

I usually use Ui3 browser (as I'm in a different location using a different computer) to check the cameras in the morning so yes, that's when I discover that Ui3 is 'not connecting' and then I go to the cameras computer later to view directly from BI program only to find that it's not open, so...
