Hi all,
Hoping to get some help please. Currently I have set up the cameras but there appears to be an issue with playback on each clip at 29 seconds. I'm guessing that this may be related to the pre-trigger video buffer which is set to 30 seconds.
I also find that there are quite a few dropped frames (jumps 2-3 seconds at a time).
Overall, CPU usage and memory is very high often 90-100%. I have taken the steps outlined on the CPU thread although with the main camera I had to move back to re-encode else it didn't play back on BI.
So I wanted to check through what settings I should have on both the camera and BI.
Ideally I want to record all the main camera streams then have triggers for viewing. I also want to be able to send snapshots for motion so I can send them through Sighthound FR (anyone who's done this with Home Assistant and got the 'how to' would be brilliant. What side HDD should I have for this? I have a QNAP NAS so can store there if performance on replay isn't an issue.
SPECS:
Main Camera (x2) - Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE
Secondary Cameras (x3) - Reolink RLC-410-5MP
PC - HP EliteDisk, Windows 10, i5-7500, 4GB ram, SSD with 400GB free
Dedicated PC, only other thing running is Home Assistant in a VirtualBox environment, capped at max 1GB memory usage.
I also have 1 camera issue - where it comes on / off in terms of PoE - any idea what might be causing this? It's one of the ReoLinks, sometimes it works for a few days then doesn't for a day.
