Ah yes, great explanation; I didn't think of that for this application. Copy/pasting from zone maps with identical resolution should be possible however, but to date can't get it working. I'll bet it's a feature Ken hasn't had time to work out quite yet.
It wouldn't be that hard for Blue Iris to enable copy/paste from different resolutions and aspect ratios, just by re-scaling what you copied to fit where you paste it. In fact it would be great if Blue Iris gave you a list of resolutions that had motion zones defined for your camera and let you copy from each of them. But all of this requires work and someone would have to suggest it to the developer.
I'd like to give this sub stream feature a try. I have mostly all Dahua 5231 ZE cameras. How can I find what the camera's sub stream address for BI is? Here's an example of one of cameras. It's working in BI but that Main Stream address looks weird (/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif). Thanks!
Thanks! Have you tried using sub stream 2? Just curious because it has a 1080P option and I could use it with a low frame and bit rate.On all my Dahua cameras (including 5231 ZE)..... I used /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
(i.e. copy and paste your main string but change the zero to a one under "subtype"
just tried 1080p with subtype=2 and it did not work for meI will... Thanks!
It worked for me. I'm running 5.2.7.2.I
just tried 1080p with subtype=2 and it did not work for me
[edit=forgot to enable substream 2 in the camera... just did that and now it works on BI at 1080p using subtype=2]
I always use UI3 to view cameras so hopefully it won't be an issue for me. I have 11 cameras running, CPU used to be around 45%. Now it's running pretty steady around 18%.cool
5.2.7.2 worked for me..... until I tried to maximize individual cameras. At first it worked (and showed the full resolution stream when double clicked on a camera) but after several cameras were switched to sub-stream, it became unstable and would crash when individual cameras were selected.
Happy enough with 5.2.7.1 for now
The most significant improvement for me is UI3. Before this upgrade, the CPU usage would go up to nearly 100% when someone logged in with UI3... now there is hardly any change in CPU usage - this is a massive improvement over just using "limit decoding" which is what I was using before, to keep 28 cameras [~1300 MP/s] down to an acceptable CPU load

CPU usage got wrecked because you did not disable "Require/decode all camera frames when streaming" here, which is enabled by default.

bit of a weird issue for me... when i setup substreams I setup now motion detection rules... I came from A, B, C, D, E zones to just a simple "A" zone.
However, whenever I playback the last motion detection, it seems that it is still adopting the OLD motion detection rules (zone crossing) rather than the new A only zone?
