    How important is Quick Sync?

    I think I have reached the best balance of CPU and image quality with this combination. Anything below 15FPs on the Hik cameras was unacceptable and the CPU savings was not there either. Had a difficult time setting i-frame interval. It either would not take or would always reset to some...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Thanks. I don't have control over that system but they spent a lot of time optimizing it for their needs. I know they are using off some axis illumination to increase shutter speeds at night. No plans to bring them into BI.

    How important is Quick Sync?

    The three high frame rate cams are on another system not directly managed by me. They have it set up to better read license plates. I am only borrowing the RTSP streams for testing. The one cam that does not have matching FPS on both streams is managed there as well so I have no ability to...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    I have 64GB in the machine but BI is reporting only 1.35GB being used according to the status at the bottom. Task Manager shows 9% CPU usage with BI minimized. One BI task is 9% and the other is zero until I restore the screen but then I cannot see Task Manager. Only 5 other tasks using no...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Right - I generally follow this for my configs. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/optimizing-blue-iris-s-cpu-usage/ The problem might indeed be the cameras. I have read there is newer firmware that has some H265 improvements. I've looked for the firmware but there is nothing from Lorex and I cannot...

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Will the lack of QS support cause problems with H.256 decoding? I am having trouble using that compression scheme on a Lorex branded 8MP bullet. It does not decode. H.264H works fine.

    How important is Quick Sync?

    Thanks- The Xeon processor is already on the motherboard so I'll start building and see what happens. I can add a half dozen 1MP and maybe four 8MP on my bench to test.

    How important is Quick Sync?

    I am assembling a BI server from my older parts stash. I have everything built on a SuperMicro motherboard with Xeon E3-1240 v5 @3.50GHz. The motherboard also supports Core i3-7320 @4.10GHz. The Xeon is twice the cores/threads as the i3 but lacks Intel Quick Sync support. Would it be worth...

    Is it worth using Dahua firmware on Lorex camera?

    Thanks MAT. Only issue I have is H265 does not work very well. Other brand cameras have no problem but none of the Lorex are stable with it. I am not sure if it is a setting problem such as VBR v CBR support or what but it is the only thing that has bugged me about these. Fortunately, I have...

    Is it worth using Dahua firmware on Lorex camera?

    I have a bunch of Lorex LN8005-C cameras running Lorex 2.460 firmware. Does the Dahua firmware make them work any better with BI? Threads like this one Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions) show it is possible but to what end? What improvements will I see?

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    Absolutely none. It will require 3 separate NVRs to do the job if networking the POE ports does not work. The network map is in this thread Networked cameras back to LNR 6108 NVR

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    Thanks for the reply. What I am proposing with discreet VLANs for each camera would mean each POE port would only see one camera. The other solutions with splitters on the POE ports are a non-starter as others have found. I already stream camera video data over discreet VLANs on my customer...

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    You do realize that is exactly the point of this and every other web forum and why I am here, right? :) I have done the research. From a networking perspective, the camera data is no different than any other streaming data. The potential issue I foresee is weather or not the NVR POE ports are...

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    Technically, then their should be an answer confirming the negative just like there could be answers confirming the positive. A lack of an answer is not confirmation that it does not work.

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    I've been all over this and other forums for months looking for someone doing specifically what I am trying to do. My first post here was back in May Networked cameras back to LNR 6108 NVR I've read the cliff notes and all the threads contained therein but no one seems to be doing what I am...

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    I tried searching but found nothing this specific. Most people with complex networks or distances are not running an NVR with a built in POE switch. I know I can make one camera work over the LAN port. The Lorex only supports one networked camera plugged into the LAN port in place of one of...

    Extending POE network from Lorex LNR6100

    Has anyone tried to extend the distance from a Lorex NVR to the cameras beyond 100m? I am thinking about putting one or more cameras over 300m from the NVR. I don't see why I could not run it through an IP network on its own VLAN but will the NVR autosense that it is not directly connected to...

    Need Advise On Powering 2 Cameras

    If you cannot run another cable, cutting it and putting the US-8-60 in the garage is what I would do. I would then use that as an excuse to get a bigger switch for inside the house!

    Networked cameras back to LNR 6108 NVR

    It looks like my Lorex LNR 6108 can only support one networked camera and 8 cameras via direct connection. This limits me to the maximum Ethernet spec of 100m for the connected cameras. Does anyone know if I can insert a network device in between the camera and one of the POE ports on the NVR...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    So, talked to Costco. They want the whole thing back. I've already run wires and mounted cameras, two of them 20' up! Not going to rip it all out to get one camera fixed. Thought about buying a complete new system and return it with the bad one but they are out of stock and the other store...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    Quick update. The noise seems to be mostly vibration. I can apply pressure to the case or try to twist it and the sound is much improved. Still a little louder but not as annoying. Might be a crap fan inside. Ran some speed tests on the cable and port that was used for the NVR and they...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    I thought it was interesting as well. Night and day difference in sound level and frequency is much higher. Not sure if it is only a speed difference. I didn't start bench testing the cameras until I had this problem. :embarrassed: It was tested with a known good (short) patch cable...

    Thanks! I started to build my own NVR using the wiki and CN. Tons of useful information there. I was just about to buy the parts needed when I saw the Lorex LNR6108 on sale for $699 at Costco. I could not pass that deal up so I bought 2! However, I was less than excited when the second...

    Costco LNR 6108 -Did I make a mistake?

    I took advantage of the $699 sale at Costco for the Lorex LNR6108 by getting two of them. After a flawless installation of the first, the second one had some issues. First, there seems to be a bad camera. It is recognized by the system but there is no video. Sadly, I already painted and...
