    Change frame rate at a specific time in bi?

    I use d2d for recording. During the day I set my cams to 15fps in the camera software. I set bi recording fps to 20 due to blur/streaking/pausing if set to 15fps... Now at night the cams switch to 7.5fps in the cameras software. I set bi recording fps to 10 due to blur/streaking/pausing...

    New user, strange problems (alert video jumping, pausing for several seconds)

    Hi, I'm setting up Blue Iris for a friend, he has 4 Hikvision IP cameras. So far I've installed the trial version of the software and got it set up to record on motion detection, and send an email with 4 images in that are spaced 2 seconds apart. The motion detection aspect of it is working...

    IP Camera NVR recording resolutions question?

    Howdy, With a new up to date 16 channel NVR (5mp ability)and 16 3mp camera's... Would you default to all camera's to 3mp resolution? or would you have a mix of 1080P and 3mp. I am thinking you might as well make use of the 3mp resolution for everything since its there. What do you think...

    New SD card line from Sandisk for sruveillance cameras

    Sandisk has new line of SD cards specifically made for home security cameras and dashcams. Before you get too excited, being able to record 5,000 hours of video may seem impressive, but it's 208 days if recording continuously, but for most recording events, it may last 1-2 years which is pretty...

    Hikvision NVR Harddrive

    What hard drive does everyone recommend? I am entertaining the Western Digital Blue or Green drives. I am unsure how the NVR works, does it keep the drives spinning constantly, or does it only spin up the drives when it senses motion and records? Obviously if I was recording 24/7 I would go with...

    BI4 Pre-Trigger causing lag in recording

    I setup BI4 so that the pre-trigger (in recording tab) is set to 10 because my fps is 10 (Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I). Glad it helps record things before they happen (at least that's what I think its doing), but issue is I see major lag. The playback is not smooth and stutters. Is this my network...

    Pixelation, Round Two

    So I have asked about this in the past and thought I had solved it, but still not. The issue I am having is what when there is motion, the motion part is pixelated, basically you can't see the object moving (people mostly). I have set the FPS to one level higher (where possible) in BI. I have...
