    SSD HD Failure 2nd time :(

    Just FYI - TBW means "terabytes written" which means if the drive is rated for 300 TBW then it can only be expected to work that long. It can have a 5 year warranty but the gotcha is that it still can't exceed the TBW rating. As other people have said that's a low-end drive. The other thing...

    Hikvision Colorvue 4mp NEW

    Well do share what other HikVision cameras you have for sale :) Might need a new thread but looking forward to it.

    Blue Iris Version 5 is right around the corner!

    Actually this is good news - this is actually being proactive because you don't want something that requires features of a dead or dying OS. If you or any new BI customers go out and buy a retail PC today what does it come with? Do you want to say "by the way, go in and install dot net 3.5 and...

    Update and Memory

    Will test next time I check and have an update pending. I manually fire off updates.

    Update and Memory

    Thank you. So it isn't just me :). I will check it out. Did you just script killing it the process? I made a quick and dirty script but didn't automate anything. Just one line. You did it right. Thanks a lot.

    Update and Memory

    I did go in and update the video and so far that seems to have done the trick. Here's the deal - I manually had installed the Creators Update for 10 and that contained a newer driver than Intel themselves is publishing for the 580 (I think) video. So getting to a Intel-released driver vs one...

    Update and Memory

    Thank you sir - you know you have mentioned it before and unrelated but I had an issue last week where I couldn't get two built-in DP ports to work at the same time and the answer was updated video driver - will try that now and we'll see how it goes.

    Update and Memory

    I just fired off a couple of separate emails to support and I'll drop them here to see if anyone has any ideas - I've gone through everything and tried to tweak and now I'm on fresh hardware - plenty of CPU, memory, disk, and disk throughput - no extras. No auto updates, no file history, no...

    Check this POE+ gizmo out - I've died and gone to heaven

    I just emailed the manufacturer to clarify and see if they do indeed have a product that I can plug into a POE+ port on my switch and power both the light and camera or does it require a propietary injector. We'll see what they say.

    Check this POE+ gizmo out - I've died and gone to heaven

    OK - I thought they had a POE+ powered version - maybe I am wrong. Let me look at the manufacturers site because using an injector (passive) is a croc. Maybe I jumped the gun. I might read some more and if they do have one that I can just plug into a POE+ port on my switch and run with it...

    Blue Iris Hardware ~ 35 Cameras

    I'd bump up the RAM too - you can never have too much RAM, NVMe, or money - that's the rule :) I know they say you don't need it but RAM is cheap - especially DDR4 - if you use a 6th gen i7 then you will probably need DDR4. I just got two sticks of Crucial 16GB (32GB total) for 71.00 each on a...

    Check this POE+ gizmo out - I've died and gone to heaven

    I've recently upgraded everything to PoE+ (aka 802.3at) vs regular PoE (aka 802.af) and then this came along. The only thing I'll wait for is a 2700k version but this is great for your cameras. I don't do wifi because if you're going to run a power cable you might as well run PoE - if you...

    hikvision DS-2DE2202-DE3

    Make sure that you have no ipV6 on the subnet. I had that happen once a long time ago with my first hacked cameras. Turn off any ipV6 and see what happens. Just having ipV6 RA and DHCP would cause issues. This may or may not apply in this case.

    my new BI system based on Intel NUC5i7RYH

    Oh yes - all cameras recording, encoding, high frame rates - but we all had to start somewhere and learn so that's what great about the forum. I had no clue about the simple things like limiting the preview rate to 5 fps and never knew about direct-to-disc when I first started. I was able to...

    my new BI system based on Intel NUC5i7RYH

    Here's the other 6 screenshots. Sorry I could have combined them - etc but I am at work and just doing this quickly before I forget..

    my new BI system based on Intel NUC5i7RYH

    Actually I remoted in via Chrome Remote Desktop to home and then VNC'd over to the server. The CPU is at 55% but that is the VNC - not the normal "idling" - it idles at about 22%. I have attached some screen shots of my config and anyone else can jump in and make suggestions. Also I...

    my new BI system based on Intel NUC5i7RYH

    Hey - I'm running the same thing - the NUC5i7RYH and I've got 14 cameras (or more) and they're mostly HiKivision with some Foscam and Dahua - 16GB RAM, 256GB m2 and a 500GB SSD and I'm running about 22%. All of this is connected to the back of a dedicated 22" 1920x1080 monitor via one HDMI...

    Corridor/Hallway Mode 1080x1920

    OK - thanks for the info. I had an extremely long day today and I'll play with it some more this weekend. Right now the thin client I've got setup for my wife to watch during the day is like a kiosk - just turn it on and it starts the web client and fires up with no intervention. If I reboot...

    Corridor/Hallway Mode 1080x1920

    Greetings - I've been reading through postings and trying to find an answer but haven't yet. I found a couple of older posts referencing corridor mode and here's what I've got. Blue Iris 4.1.4.0 running on 64 bit Windows. Several HiKVision cameras and one is set for hallway/corridor mode so...
