Same problem with 5.8.8.latest. First time the entire PC locked up and I had to force a power off and restart. Seven and nine days later the PC restarted after running out of virtual memory - somewhere around 80 GB. Both time the committed memory was less than 12 GB and holding steady the...

I went online and searched for audio files containing memorable lines from movies or TV shows. Some good ones I like are Are you feeling lucky? Nobody touch nuttin Get out! Who are you?! What was that? How dare you! Winchester rifle cocking and firing Pick your favorite lines from any shows...

I go one step further and place the cameras and the BI PC on a separate subnet. Everything on this subnet is static. Firewall rules allow the BI PC to have normal access off the subnet and the cameras can access a couple of specific computers and a NAS in another subnet. All other access to...

I tried brightness, contrast, and gamma. Nothing helped with the blown highlights. If only I could set gain to -5...

I have not seen these posts - will try to search for them. Do the Color4K bullets have the same problem? It's a shame because the Color4K-T is so close to being perfect for this - maybe one or two stops.

Tried highlight, WDR, and SSA. None of them helped with the blown highlights. At this point I believe the only thing that will help this camera is a neutral density filter. :( Sorta defeats the purpose of having great night vision! I may have to switch to one of my older cameras, maybe a...

I set up an IPC-Color4K-T as a sky camera. Works great except the clouds are overexposed during the daytime and I have not been able to decrease the exposure. At night: During the day: I have tried everything to reduce the cloud overexposure - 1/100,000 sec exposure time, gain range of 0-0...

One more thing - if you are running the demo version of BI then the video is always being re-encoded to add a watermark.

If you look at the live view you can see how the camera detects motion and how the motion interacts with your triggers. Start with a single tripwire. You'll see that IVS draws a box around the detected motion. Only when the center of the box crosses your tripwire does the trigger get...

Of course he took off. He didn't want Amazon to know - he might get fired. I wonder what happened to him after I gave my neighbor videos including from my license plate reader. I believe Amazon paid in full and then some. My neighbor sure is happy with his new Tesla.

Another Amazon mishap. This is after he walked between the car and his truck two minutes earlier. My neighbor was happy that I had videos. Somehow that little dent was expensive enough that Amazon bought the car. He now drives a Tesla.

That's what I used to use. See the long thread here at Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset. I have recently switched to using BI as suggested as an alternative update in the first post in the DahuaSunriseSunset thread.

When I was playing with clones I had the original camera recording continuously and the clone recording only when triggered. Not ideal but it worked for me. I have since stopped needing to use clones. Hopefully someone else knows how to properly set this up without redundant recordings.

Or use a BI clone. Original camera triggers in the street. Clone triggers in the driveway.

I think an oldie from YouTube might be appropriate: Welcome To The Internet Helpdesk by OneDead Troll Feel free to skip forward to the one minute mark when he answers his first call. Best part is when he says we have a serious case of a twelve o'clock flasher.

I use my two 437s with BI. Acts very much like an ordinary camera except the license plates are much better at night than I was able to ever get with the 5231-Z12s. The cameras are sending images to a Synology NAS ftp server with the license plate information included as part of the file name...

My daughter had a bad breakup with her boy friend. Got some Arlo (Pro?) cameras to to watch over her car and our property. Never had any problems with the ex-boyfriend but he turned out to be very expensive and started my camera addiction. IP Cam Talk was the enabler that made my addiction...

What is the best practice when changing BI’s recording location for some cameras? As far as I can tell I can change the recording location for a camera, move the previously recorded files to the new drive/location and then regenerate the data base. I had an external (eSATA) drive enclosure die...

I removed limit decoding from all cameras and plan to keep it off. It was on only for cameras that used only ONVIF triggers and not BI's motion detection, only ONVIF triggers. The only difference I see is the quiescent load in BI went from around 3-5% up to 7-10%. Small enough not to matter...

I had this exact thing happen to me last year. Twice. Same neighbor. Both times I was out of town. First time someone put a big dent in his garage door. The neighbor gave me a two day range where he thought it occurred. Turned out it was one of his subs (he was finishing up a home remodel)...

I have completely redone my system and no longer have the problem with BI bogging down and staying bogged down. No sure what made the difference, but here is what I did. I came back from a three week trip to find my BI computer had unsuccessfully rebooted. It looked like for some reason it...

I have always been surprised that security cameras don’t pulse their lights in sync with the shutter. Why make them visually more noticeable and waste POE power when the shutter is not open? Also, it used to be that LEDs would produce much more power when they are pulsed due to heat...

My 437s might miss one cars a night. Usually it is a newer car with LED headlights. The light barely show up in the IR and the car appears as a black shadow. Apparently the camera does not start looking for a license plate until it sees motion and a vehicle. Just my guess. I have two 437s...

The Idea of not using a SSD for windows does not sound likely since I have looked at the activity on the C drive and see nothing. The data drives are all and always very lightly loaded All cameras are recording directly in BVR format and none have overlays showing during live viewing. I will...

This is very similar to my system. When nothing is happening the CPU is around 18%. With lots of triggers it may reach 50-60%. I have around 14 cameras using sub streams at 720p. However when I review the previous nights footage from the 4k cameras the CPU jumps to around 50% and then starts...

Most hardware specs are in signature. The computer is a Lenovo desktop with a 4TB HD for Windows, a 512 GB SSD for alerts and database, and a 10 TB WD Purple HD. In an external eSATA case are 2 x 16 TB WD Purple HDs. The monitor is 4k. No GPU card in system. the only other programs running...

Defender has everything excluded that is mentioned in the pdf help file - BI, BI folder, alerts folder, db folder, and all three folders for storage of video. Both the alerts and the db are on a SSD with nothing else on them. The SSD made no difference when I installed it a long time ago...

1) I will double check that Defender is excluding any BI directories and the app itself. I am not a Windows (10) expert, so any good links on what exactly to do? 2) I am using sub streams for all the higher res cameras. These are the same cameras that give me problems. 3) I am using a...

For at least the last year when BI gets busy the FPS will drop on one or more cameras and never recover. This usually happens when viewing prior recordings. Once this happens the only way to recover is to restart the camera(s) (in BI) with the slow fps. Normally my system chugs along nicely...

Make sure you can access the camera directly through a web browser. In my case I had to specify the different subnet that the cameras were on (In <Auto Search --> Device Segment --> Search>). After that they showed up with no problems.
