I'm posting this in the hopes that I'll save someone time and frustration that I've had over the past few days. As I mention in the threat title I was having problems with the recording function in BI either stuttering badly or recording a few seconds and then crashing. I looked over several threads in the forum and reviewed all the usual suspects (thanks fenderman for all the advice):
Buffer - set to 20 megs
FrameRate 15/sec
iFrame - matching FrameRate
Direct To Disk recording enabled
Intel Hardware Acceleration - on (no VPP)
I went through all of these several times, deleted readded cameras and monkied endlessly with settings on the dahua cams themselves. Nothing seemed to help.
Then I came across a reference on the forum to antivirus and telling it to exclude the BI program folder, the recordings folder and the DB folder. I did that and was just about the exit kaspersky when I saw another setting that caught my eye. Exclusions for trusted applications.
I went in there and excluded BlueIris.exe. What I suddenly realized was that Kaspersky was performing Host Intrusion Detection type services and watching the packets going in and coming out of the application. This matches up nicely with the jitter I was seeing.
After excluding both the folders and on the hard drive and the blueiris.exe my recordings are now smooth as a baby's butt.
The important thing to remember here is that if you have an A/V solution that does this sort of stuff you need to not only exclude the folders on the hard drive but also any host IDS type stuff your A/V might be trying to do. It can have a big impact on the network traffic.
