Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Did not realize I could find a POE powered switch for $40 - the ones I had seen were very expensive. Since I am using 4K/8MP cameras with high bitrates, seems like potential crosstalk/interference could be an issue with splitting the wires inside a...

Hi all, I just built a new home and had run some cat 5e to different locations for ip cameras. I recently installed the actual cameras and in one location I feel like I could benefit from an additional angle/camera. Problem is I only ran a single cat5e to this location. The second camera I want...

I just ordered a 4GB stick of RAM to double my RAM to 8GB. Hopefully that will help. 4GB probably not enough for the system anyway, as it is also used as a central storage server and to run PLEX Media server for streaming to devices in the house. Will recheck the max rate setting.

Any chance RAM is an issue? In BI, it says 70% memory usage (I suspect this is overall system...) says 1GB free ram, 888MB used (by BI?).

Ok - so played with all of the above suggestions. The RTSP timecode thing was not the issue. It seems like the only thing that worked was reducing the resolution (one notch down to what I think is 1760p) and reduced the max bitrate from 5096 to 3072. It keeps up and stays in sync at 20fps. The...

I will look at the make and model - there are a few different variants under HIKVISION that would fit the description of the model number, not sure which one to use. Another thing to try this evening - will report back. Very impressed by the speed and willingness to help a newbie on this forum...

Yes, hard wired to switch directly, no bridge. Thanks for info on CPU, did not realize that the old 3612QM was about same speed as the new 6500U. The 6500U is a low-voltage variant for an ultrabook so I guess that explains. In reality, however, the 6500U machine feels ten times faster and...

There are a lot of devices on the network... I wonder if there is network congestion or something? Could that be a possibility? I have a smart home with a lot of stuff connected to wifi and ethernet. Off the top of my head, there are 5 IP cameras, a Ubiquiti Unifi AP, 5 sonos players/amps (some...

My network is setup as follows : 1 router with an uplink to a 8-port gigabit poe switch. The BI machine and the cameras are connected to this switch. There is also another 5 port gigabit switch uplinked from the router as well, but no cameras or PC's connected to that one. These are unmanaged...

Thank you! I will try this later this evening once I get home. I have added 2 other 4MP cameras on top since writing this post and they are perfectly in sync (and do not change). My logic is that shouldn't everything suffer if the CPU is maxed out? If the 8MP camera is overtaxing the CPU...

Also, BI reports CPU usage between 35-45% with some blips slightly over 50... Task manager does report lower CPU usage for BI and overall than those numbers. Not sure which one is most accurate.

Hi all, Newish to Blue Iris but have been toying with IP cameras (recreationally) over the last few years. Certainly not an expert but relatively techy. Here is my issue : Background :Full BI license, currently setup with only 2 cameras : a FOSCAM FI9831W (baby monitor) and a new HIKVISION...
