I installed 2 Dahua N5-1BD22 5mp bullets. I use blue iris and i am wondering what the correct video path should be? When i do a find/inspect it comes up as a generic path. Just wondering if there is a better path. The video is not a good as i expected with the 5mp cameras. 2.8mm lens. I will be contacting Dahua about the settings or to see if there is something i set up wrong on the video end. I have also set up other BI systems where i have had to change the path but this my first with Dahua cameras.

Have you also performed all the steps outlined here: Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage | IP Cam Talk

Ok. been so darn busy but i will make sure to look at it tonight. The IR is better than the samsung cameras i was using. Thinking of trying an IR light to help too.
