    BlackVue DR900S-2CH

    There have been overheating issues with the DR900 in parking mode. This usually occurs in temps in the low 80s or higher. I have a DR750 and had it professionally hardwired. I've had it for almost a year and it's been reliable. I do not use the cloud feature.

    4.7.8 - August 28, 2018 - Support for the Nvidia CUDA hardware decoding

    I have an 8th gen intel proccessor (8700k) which fully supports .265 hardware acceleration throug quicksync. What would one have to do with the other? This is not the first time BI announced .265 hardware acceleration support except it doesn't work. Still doesn't work.

    4.7.8 - August 28, 2018 - Support for the Nvidia CUDA hardware decoding

    .265 hardware decode never worked properly with BI using Intel quicksync. Doubt it would be fixed with Nvidia.

    BI crazy data usage and Comcast

    I have an ASUS 68U router that lets me block any device from the internet. My cams are blocked from accessing the internet. Check your router.

    BI crazy data usage and Comcast

    BI use of your Comcast data cap when you record video locally- basically zero. I have 6 Hikvision cams, three of which are 4k, two 4 MP, and one 3 MP. I have 10-12 MB/sec of video streaming on my network locally. The only time BI uses the internet is when I remote view off site or when I...

    RAID 0 vs. multiple drives

    If you partition the 3 TB HD into a 1 TB partition for BI and a 2 TB for the other files yes. I would just leave the files there instead of doing that though. Drivepool by default will spread out new files over all your drives.

    RAID 0 vs. multiple drives

    I use Drivepool: StableBit - The home of StableBit CloudDrive, StableBit DrivePool and the StableBit Scanner Software lets you add/subtract mutliple hard drives into one big virtual drive. Unlike RAID files are saved intact on each hard drive so zero chance one drive going bad will brick an...

    New PC for BI recommendation

    I can't tell how many SATA ports any of them have. It's not listed in the specs and I don't see a bank of ports on the provided pictures. I would DIY or choose a different prebuilt box.

    New PC for BI recommendation

    I would not get the twp HPs. The case looks small form factor which severely limits your ability to add hard drives unless you wanted to put them in an external bay. The Acer is fine. Bigger case with room to put in extra HDs.

    Nest Dropcam Recent Change?

    You still have to power a cam with either a power plug or poe Ethernet cable. I use the poe method to both power the cam and transmit data. You can buy flat Ethernet cable that you can easily route through a window or door. If your home is not outfitted with Ethernet cabling you can use MOCA...

    Hard drive strategy

    I use Stablebit Drivepool. It aggregates all the hard drives into one single drive: StableBit - The home of StableBit CloudDrive, StableBit DrivePool and the StableBit Scanner Unlike RAID individual files are stored intact among the pooled hard drives. No risk of file corruption ruining an...

    Hardware acceleration cause of ghosting?

    That's the same graphics glitch I have. Besides the smearing/pixelation there is also a herky-jerky quality to the recorded videos that is not present when HA is turned off. Looking at the BI wiki the authors are concerned about a memory leak and don't mention the graphical glitch: Memory...

    Hardware acceleration cause of ghosting?

    I've unchecked BVR for all the cams, turned HA acceleration back on, and rebooted the server. I'll check the recorded video in a couple hours to get a decent sample size and see if the ghosting recurs. Why would BVR being turned on cause the ghosting? I think the default is for BVR to be...

    Hardware acceleration cause of ghosting?

    Ghosting example: I'm on BI version 4.7.6.11. Oddly the ghosting was not present on the exported clip I obtained through the UI3 browser even though it's visible when I view the clip through UI3 and on the BI console. I had to export the clip through the BI console. The ghosting doesn't...

    Hardware acceleration cause of ghosting?

    I've used BI for several years and noticed ghosting (pixelation of a moving object in a recording) that occurs more frequently at higher resolutions. My last attempted fix was to switch from .264 to .265 on my 8 MP cams (2CD2085FWD). Looked at half a dozen recordings and no ghosting. Hardware...
