Not sure how to explain it, but when my cameras are activated due to BI motion and they record a sequence and I play back the recording, the video starts a few seconds past where it should. The thumbnail image of the video shows where it should start but when I play it, it starts after the object has already passed. Does that make sense? It seemed to have just started after I changed the resolution and capture mode on the Hik cameras.
Delay When Motion Recording
- Thread starter OICU2
- Start date
That would explain it... I am finally able to use direct to disc without the recording being all screwed up and pixelated. I'm running 11 3MP Hik cams and a 2MP 20x PTZ and my CPU is only at 28% on an i7-3610QM laptop. We'll see how it does when the wind blows leaves and they all start recording, probably will crash !

if its running at 28 percent it should not crash even with all cams recording...biggest issue you will have is likely all cams recording to a single likely slow laptop drive

So I am having the same problem as the OP but my issue is more exaggerated. My camera settings are set at 15fps and my iFrame Interval was 50 but I bumped that down to 15 as you suggested. This seems like it would solve a problem where the user was only having a 3-4 second delay.
In my case though if I blow up the Alert Image I can see the camera time stamp of 9:43:45 with an animal in my yard. My recording didn't begin though until 9:43:58 which is 13 seconds later. I have my Pre-Trigger Buffer set to a generous "10 Sec" and am using Direct-to-Disk to an SSD Drive solely used for Blue Iris.
Any ideas?
