For awhile only 1 of my 2 cameras were showing properly in BI5. I added a 3rd one and it does the same thing. The phone app works fine. Videos record, no issue. It just does not show correctly in BI5.

See attached for what I mean.

No idea what could be the issue here.

Post the BI Status Messages Tab and the Cameras tab.
Is this what you are looking for? Nothing pops up that I can see here.

I also adjusted the camera slider and the 2 non working ones get all glitchy and are using frames from the 1st camera.

If we are thinking computer issue of some sort...

Does this have a graphics card or onboard graphics?

Your iframe rate needs to be equal to the frame rate. Also, why 30FPS? Most folks run at 15FPS.

I suggest writing to the log file.

What happens if you only show one or two cams in the view?
The iFrame rate (is that the attached frame rate file?) When I adjust the camera to 15fps instead of 30fps, it goes right back to 30fps over a couple of seconds.

1 2 or 3 cameras, it does not matter. Its the same issue (#2 and #3 are black/bars).
