Hikvision cameras

You have to turn on ONVIF access in the camera first. Unless they are newer should be on.

Enable ONVIF on Hikvision​

To enable ONVIF on a Hikvision camera, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the camera's admin interface using the default login credentials or a custom username and password if the default login has been changed.
  2. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Settings > Integration Protocol section.
  3. Enable the “Enable Open Network Video Interface” setting to turn ONVIF on.
  4. Create a new user specifically for ONVIF integration with a secure password to ensure secure access to the ONVIF features

I am laughing so hard right now. You are amazing...... I went straight into the Hikvision camera, enabled ONVIF, set a user/password, then back on BI Find/inspect. (I also enabled Use ONVIF to refresh volitale stream profiles).

Substream now .03....

I'll fix my other two Hikvision cameras and report back.

Holy Substream CPU Batman... I'm down to 19% CPU....
Click to expand...
Want to lower it more?
Set all frame rates, main and sub, to 15 since you're not shooting a Hollywood movie and match the frame intervals at 15 as well.
I also set bit rate type to CBR @ 8192 bit rate for main, CBR @ 1024 for sub stream.

great
@TonyR yes we mentioned it here PC now struggling. 70 to 99% cpu

All though I wasn't very clear there

I read it all (I thought) after returning from radiation this morning but missed that......likely "chemo brain" my retired nurse wife says. :facepalm:
I guess I saw several cams still set above 15 in his screenshot above in post #43 and thought otherwise.

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread, was annoyed at self that I missed something and came up with an excuse.
Thanks again everyone for your uplifting concern and prayers....now back to bbwolfe's issue. :cool:

Not checking the both streams if available will kill the computer during playback as it will require the mainstream for multi-cam viewing.

This is a sample status page I am looking for but you can slide the slider over to show the sub FPS and key info. The Totals at the bottom are important as well:

This status page is providing so much information to go in and correct the cameras. Very valuable.
I'm walking through each individual camera now.

Yeah that 10th gen will work fine!

You will want HDD for the video.

wittaj, while I wait to receive the new (refurbished ebay) PC, I thought I should do some prep research.

I have two WD 2TB Purple HDD - Sata 6 on order.

You advised (wisely I might add) to separate camera feeds for redundancy on separate HDD's in case of a Hard Drive failure.
I thought I read advice about also building separate partitions on each drive for different cameras.

I'm not sure I understand the benefit or the structure of that recommendation. Should each camera have it's own partition?

edit: (A bit of luck/humble bragging here.) I built my current BI PC back in 2012. People were gasping at the state of the art CPU I purchased. This PC has been running 24/7 for the past 12/13 years and is still running strong. I definitely got my money's worth out of it!

I think you are mixing something up.

We do not recommend separate partitions for each drive.

Here is @SouthernYankee Standard allocation post.

1) Do not use time (limit clip age)to determine when BI video files are moved or deleted, only use space. Using time wastes disk space.
2) If New and stored are on the same disk drive do not used stored, set the stored size to zero, set the new folder to delete, not move. All it does is waste CPU time and increase the number of disk writes. You can leave the stored folder on the drive just do not use it.
3) Never allocate over 90% of the total disk drive to BI.
4) if using continuous recording on the BI camera settings, record tab, set the combine and cut video to 1 hour or 3 GB. Really big files are difficult to transfer.
5) it is recommend to NOT store video on an SSD (the C: drive).
6) Do not run the disk defragmenter on the video storage disk drives.
7) Do not run virus scanners on BI folders
8) an alternate way to allocate space on multiple drives is to assign different cameras to different drives, so there is no file movement between new and stored.
9) Never use an External USB drive for the NEW folder. Never use a network drive for the NEW folder.
10) for performance do not put more than about 10,000 files in a folder, the search and adding files will eat CPU and disk performance. Look at using a sub folder per camera (see &CAM in bi help)


Advanced storage:
If you are using a complete disk for large video file storage (BVR) continuous recording, I recommend formatting the disk, with a windows cluster size of 1024K (1 Megabyte). This is a increase from the 4K default. This will reduce the physical number of disk write, decrease the disk fragmentation, speed up access.
Hint:
On the Blue iris status (lighting bolt graph) clip storage tab, if there is any red on the bars you have a allocation problem. If there is no Green, you have no free space, this is bad.

This advice is so valuable. Thank you!
 
I am not understanding how to accomplish this:
3) Never allocate over 90% of the total disk drive to BI.

edit: Is this where we set up "Storage>Folders" and set the space limit for each folder? Then add up how much is allocate to each drive making sure not to allocate over 90% to BI?
 
It means on this page for the drive size, don't put the full amount.

So in the example below it is a 2TB drive (2,000GB).

You don't put 2000GB there as the drive needs some "free" space for when it is full and is overwriting and saving at the same time.

So 90% of 2000GB would mean do not put more than 1,800GB in that location, and in this example, the person allocated a little extra free space and put 1,750GB
