Any updates please? Ta!

Excellent! I love stuff like this... I've sent off for a USB cam. However, I suspect your ipcam solution is probably better. The only difference here is that I would like to have this powered 24/7, but streaming only when I ask it to. See this thread for my idea.... I'd love to hear your...

this thread is awesome. what's the chances gmaster1 is still active?

I would be extremely grateful if you could elaborate on how this was done.

Did anyone ever get this working? I have a perfect use for this....

No wdr settings...

It's some cheap-ass brand - I presumed the location was the issue. But it's a hi watch IPC-B220

Hi all, Not sure if there's a solution, but I'm struggling to get a decent image. Camera is on the front of the house. House is fairly tall and once it hits around noon, the sun batters the back of the house, leaving a fairly distinct shadow on the front shared driveway. Thia results in two...

Is there a way of performing a compassion to see which way works best in reality?

That's amazing. Thanks so much for being so helpful. My cpu was choking at almost 100. Awesome. :goodpost::goodpost::goodpost::goodpost::goodpost::goodpost::headbang:

Jesus wept. Why didn't I check this out years ago. Thanks guys, much appreciated. Now to try to discover why this hwaccel option is killing the ui. And... Is it worth looking into?

wow...........

Thanks for that. Been trawling the Wiki as suggested. Here's what I've achieved so far:

I'm far from an expert with any of this, despite the fact I've used this for years and lurked here for a while. System started off as a laptop and a single foscam with BI about 8 years ago. Slowly expanded, never quite knew exactly what I was doing so I'm sure the system could be optimised...

yes, working.

Done. Not sure why, but done as suggested. Now? =)

Is this what you needed? Cheers!

Thanks guys. I'll provide more info after I return from work in a couple of hours. =)

Yeah. If I disable hardware acceleration, bi doesn't hang, and displays cam feed fine.

https://www.hikvision.com/my/products/HiLook-IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Value-Camera/IPC-D121H--M-/ Hi, hoping someone can assist. I have a fair few cameras, acquired over the years. Nothing particularly earth shattering, budget suits my needs. Managed to get a hold of a few of these cams...

Morning! Just wondering if anyone had info on using the 'intent' method to launch BI mobile from a dashboard please? There is one option (intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=com.blueirissoftware.blueiris/com.blueirissoftware.blueiris.MainActivity;end) which launches the main UI...

Thanks. I'll take a look. Hardware accel on one cam, not the other.

Hi all. Occasionally (regaularly), one of my cheap P&T cams begin to show a rapid flickery monochrome version of itself. Looks like it's had a bad Instagram filter applied. Assumed the cam was going bad, but now another cam is doing the same which leads me to believe there may be more to it...

Righto, don't understand this. Haven't touched the cam settings. Gathered it was something to do with HW decode, so unplugged all the cams. Fired up BI - horray! Started to add cams one by one (i.e. reconnecting their patch leads). Got all cams back, no problem... aside from one. Plugged it...

Cheers Mike. Already unistalled. Got some error about missing redistributable files. Reinstalled. Still getting the same. Even used the rollback feature. Still no joy. Something has severely knacked my windows install here, not really sure how the hell to fix it. Tried the version you...

Hi all, Hoping someone can please assist. I installed Blue Iris Tools and (coincidentally?) after clicking the option to start watchdog, Blue Iris dropped out failed to connect. The watchdog window reported that it was running.... then couldn't find the service....then was running... and so on...

hm. not sure what's gone on, but I installed this and messed about with the overlays etc for a day or two. today, I ticked the 'watchdog' option and blue iris immediately dropped out, and the BIT screen kept reporting that BI was "running"....."not running!" every 5 secs or so. Watching the...

No can do. Its actually some cheap ass can that was given to me for free by a neighbour (it was a spare can from hin cheap dvr system. Not even sure how the hell it ended up getting recognised in bi, because it was a while ago now and if I try to re-add from scratch I can't get it recognised...

Thanks for the reply. It definitely hasn't always been that way, but I'm not sure how to get it back. Here are the current settings: It is a cheap 'n' nasty cam, but at some point this worked just fine with smaller file sizes. Any ideas why ? The settings page doesn't seem to make any...
