    Blue iris and CPU consumption as it relates to memory usage

    I have the same problem. CPU usage goes up to 99%. I exit Blue Iris and start it back up and the CPU usage is back around 40%. I have a Dell XPS 8700, i7-4770 CPU and 16 GB ram

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

    Ever since daylight savings time, my PTZ jumps an hour behind. I go into settings and sync it with the PC, but within a few hours it goes back an hour. I'm in the EST zone, and it is set for GMT -5. Any clues what is doing this?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    You are right, the camera is fine, but it only works with the DC power supply connection. That’s fine, I’m going to find a place in the house for it. Now my problem is, I can’t find the 3 screws I took off the camera, I think it might be a 3mm screw. Off to Lowe’s to find some screws. Thanks...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I had my camera under my deck overlooking the backyard. It was underneath a wood plate that provided a little relief from the rain, but moisture got into the connector and corroded it. My Blue Iris screen showed a “no signal” coming from the camera. Tried pulling the patch cable to the...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Howdy, I screwed up and forgot to waterproof the RJ-45 connector. Camera stopped working. I have it apart right now, and was wondering if there is a re-set button inside. If not, I'll order a new one from Andy.

    Iframe interval on Dahua cameras

    Thanks for the clarification. My 3 year old Hikvison 2032s set "I Frame Rate" my new Dahua's use "I frame interval". I missed the word Interval. I have my Dahua's I frame interval set too high (50). I'm going to reset them to 25 and see what happens.

    Iframe interval on Dahua cameras

    The I frame is a complete stand alone frame (like a jpeg) it contains the most bits of the other frames (P and B if used). The other frames usually just contain bits that changed from the I frame. Increasing the I frame will increase the bit rate.

    Dahua Cam for bird feeder

    I have one Hikvision camera for my backyard. We have about 2 dozen turkeys go through the back yard every day. I like to watch the Tom’s when they fan their tails and do the Turkey strut.

    Dahua Cam for bird feeder

    Squirrels and chipmunks are the reason I don’t fill up the feeders in summer. They can empty a feeder in a couple of hours. I have a caged suet feeder for woodpeckers and thistle seed soxs for finches.

    HDW 5231R-Z night time images

    Yes, I see it is very blurry. I'm still trying to figure out the best settings for this camera.

    HDW 5231R-Z night time images

    This is with no IR, and Day & Night set to color. I think I like this mode, because you can ID the color of the clothing.

    Go to any Empirecandy response (there is one on this thread on page 119 #3560), left click on his avatar. A menu should open up, left click on “start a conversation” and leave a message for him. Remember he is about 12 hours ahead of us in time.

    HDW 5231R-Z night time images

    Thanks for the ideas. The image with no IR light is greatly superior to the Hikvision camera it replaced. I think I’ll just keep it the way it is with no IR.

    HDW 5231R-Z night time images

    My HDW 5231R-Z is mounted on the side of my shed. At night time the LED flood light goes on and remains own till it gets light. I have two night time jpegs (attach) , one with smart IR turned on, and one with the IR light turned off. The picture with the IR light turned off is obviously the...

    Update: with the latest 4.5.1.5 BI update the home button will now go to preset 1. BUT, instead of the ONVIF/ (OXML) PTZ protocol use now the Dahua/Q-see RTSP PTZ setting. I can confirm all the arrows in BI now fuction and the Home button will go to preset 1.

    Did you ever get a solution for the delay in Blue Iris. I have the HD49225T-HN, sometimes there I no delay other times there is like a 10 sec delay when using the arrow keys in Blue Iris.

    I got this from somebody on the SD49225T-HN post. : "If you have the HN model, in BI under the cams properties go video/configure/ and click Find/inspect button. Then go to your PTZ/CONTROL tab and confirm you have ONVIF (OXML) selected as the protocol . Then ALL your arrows will work, even...

    Bench Testing my Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Got my Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turrets (2) (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) yesterday from Andy. I’m testing them out in my basement, their nightvision is fantastic. I thought I had problems with one because the nightvison sucked, but that was because the IR was shut off. Turned it on and wham! Works...
