On a different thread here it was recommended I try Blue Iris. I am in the midst of setting it up - but is there an easy way to import cameras or copy cameras? I am using hikvision cameras and I don't want to manually setup the URL for each one and all?
Yeah I started a new thread. I think I am getting the hang of it now. Seems decent. Need to figure out the seconady stream from main sooner than later!

You need to set the pre buffer recording time in the trigger tab of the camera configuration in BI. Additionally set the cutoff time in the trigger tab. I keep mine all set at 3 seconds pre and post trigger and get everything.
Right I know how to copy a NEW camera. I mean if I make a change to settings can I apply it to all the other cameras? Or can I apply settings from one camera to the others?
Weirdly I have a few cameras facing the road. I checked the substream settings, have them all the same but the resolution keeps changing from 16:9 to 4:3 - I prefer the 16:9.
Can't figure that part out. Also I changed the pre-recording to 3 seconds and the latest catch was still late
Also can you re-sort the cameras and the way they are displayed? a very newb question I know - but I can't move all three of these cameras to be consecutive.
some cameras are locked on the screen,. Right click the one you want to move, Unclick Drag lock, then move the picture.
Use the BI help.

In the google search window enter.. site:ipcamtalk.com ?????? ..where ?????? is the items/terms you are interested in.

I moved my install to a "better' machine and its running like doggy doo. Cpu is pegged at 100%. It is odd because I exported the registry keys with the backup script and imported to the new machine.
If it were me, I'd reformat and start fresh and NOT import any settings at all. Build the system up from scratch. There may be corruption in that configuration.
Yeah - im not doing that. No reason for a brand new install on one machine to be a problem on a new one. I have about 2 hours invested. I think its just a crappier PC than the laptop I originally set up on.
BlueIris, IVMS all the same. Can't handle the load.
