    Blue Iris UI3

    So, I recently started having an issue where I cannot download clips via UI3 anymore. All I get is a download failed error. It worked up until about a week ago. I tried updating BI and restarting the computer, no change. Tried restarting the mobile devices trying to download the clips and no...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I just updated to 5.9.9.27 because it was overdue anyway. Nothing useful under the log, though I noticed it detected Intel graphics. I don't know if it would help or not, but these are the settings I'm using under the cameras. They're all Dahua from Andy.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I just had time to do some tests. Removing the substream does solve the issue and it looks pretty good, however the problem returns when I put the substream back. It appears to be doing this on all 8 cameras. I did find one with the smart codec enabled and I turned it off but it didn't effect...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Here's 3 out of 8. I have a mixture of 2mp and 4mp cameras so I gave you my two important 4mp and one of the 2mp. The rest should match these.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I think that's the problem because when I go full screen on any of the cameras the quality never goes over to main, it just stays looking bad. On the pc running the cameras you can see it switch over to main and it goes from the way my UI3 looks on my phone to fantastic.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Switching between main and substreams might just be me remembering what BI does rather than what I see on my phone. Here's the Streaming 0 profile. I just tried it on my son's ipad and it seemed like it was the exact same as my phone. Low quality and motion makes it worse. I think I need...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I was going to start a new thread because I don't know what I have going on is a bug, or my stupidity but I'm fairly sure it's UI3 related. For a long time I was running all of my cameras on H265 but I recently changed to 264 for both main and substreams. I feel like ever since I did that...

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    I'm going to ask a really dumb question but, do typical switches and nics even have the grounding needed for shielded cat5 or 6 to work? It looks like the RJ45's are shielded as well. I don't recall seeing that on the jacks of my switches, but I also never really looked.

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    @David L My main complaint with cat 6 is terminating it. I mean, I can and do, but cat5 is so much easier.

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    Interesting. I don't think I've ever used shielded ethernet wire before for anything. Never had a need that I was aware of at least. All of mine is cat5e unshielded. When did shielded cat6 become recommended?

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    Does that 8MP have the same low light sensitivity as the older 4MP 5442?

    IR illuminator life vs level?

    I don't need more than the cameras can give. At least not in the situation I posted about. I was just concerned running them manually higher through the settings could shorten they're life a lot. But I have also considered other external options as well. If there's recommendations on IR...

    IR illuminator life vs level?

    Has anyone experienced failures of the built in illuminators from running them too high? Basically... Is there any harm in cranking the level up when it's beneficial?

    18tb drive not showing up in disk management

    Well The plot thickens. I plugged a flashdrive into the computer to save my blue iris configuration and found out it wouldn't install drivers for any flashdrive or external hard drive I have. Every one of them gave a error 28 I think? Windows would act like it was installing the driver...

    18tb drive not showing up in disk management

    So The 18tb drive is working just fine in a I5-12400 system. Apparently older systems / sata controllers may not play nice with larger drives, I don't know. The system it doesn't want to work in is a I5-4570.

    Dahua IVS vs Deepstack?

    Headlights is a constant problem with one of my cameras that doesn't have the AI built in. It's almost the only thing it ever detects, actually and I don't want it. I think something must have changed because for a while if either of my front cameras had an alert, there was 100% a person there...

    Dahua IVS vs Deepstack?

    Now I'll really sound stupid. What is the "Global setup" ? I didn't realize the intrusion box worked that way. I have it as wide as I can get it, basically the entire view. I saw no reason not to as I wanted to detect in the entire area. I can go back and change that if it's part of my...

    Dahua IVS vs Deepstack?

    I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but, I couldn't find an exact answer to this. I also couldn't make up my mind if this belongs in the Dahua section or here..... I'm thinking it's more Blue Iris related though. I'm using three IPC-T5442T-ZE's with IVS enabled for people only. I also have...

    18tb drive not showing up in disk management

    I didn't try diskpart only windows disk management. Unfortunately I couldn't remember diskpart... As stupid as it sounds at the time I was getting tired and I knew there was a new command prompt based program but all I could remember was fdisk and I knew it wasn't that so I gave up and put the...

    Shouldn't it still show up under disk management though?

    18tb drive not showing up in disk management

    Hi all I pulled a working 4tb drive out and replaced it with an 18tb WD purple pro last night and no matter what I did it wouldn't show up in disk management in Windows 10. It does show up in the bios. I tried updating everything and even flashing the bios and still no dice. I'm going to...

    Format a drive - what allocation unit size

    Off the top of my head, you can create a partition any size you want. So I took that as create a partition that's only 90% of the drive and leave 10% unused. But I think I'm understanding now. Use up the entire drive for the partition but only let BI use 90% of it? Does Windows need 2TB of...

    Format a drive - what allocation unit size

    Responding to an older thread, but I have an additional question that I didn't see here. In an older post you mentioned formatting drives to 90% of their capacity. What is the reason for this and should it still be done on a drive like the OP's 18TB or is it generally ok to let windows format...

    Export video with time and date via web interface?

    Hi all, I'm having a bit of an issue when I export videos on my phone. Maybe that's 100% the issue I don't know. When I export them I loose the date and time in the video. Is there a setting I can change somewhere? I have this disabled on the cameras themselves as I rely on BI to give me the...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE substream not working blue iris

    Ok so I got the substream working but for some reason the main stream path needs to stay "/". Not really sure about that but ok. Can Blue Iris record the substream 24/7 and switch to main on trigger? I saw another software could but came up with nothing looking for BI. I'd like to thank...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE substream not working blue iris

    That's is?!? I really wish I had just posted that originally. Now I'm one of "those guys". I'm recording the main stream 24/7. I'll read the link you posted.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE substream not working blue iris

    After dropping everything down to the it is now my cpu issue is in the low 30s. Before was with 264 and 8192 on the 4mp cameras. Here's the error I get. This is just from changing the single / to the full string for the main stream. Same thing happens if I only do the substream.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE substream not working blue iris

    I literally just switched everything over yesterday due to space issues. 4tb isn't going very far understandably. I was running 264 and 8192 but needed to cut corners. I did notice issues with trees blowing in the wind though and didn't remember seeing it before. I do appreciate your very...
