    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Thanks a lot. I will definitely do that if symptoms show up again. I wish I would have done that from the start, but things are going well. BI has been running for 21 hrs since PC reset, consistently at 30-40% CPU (usually when I check it's at 34% which is amazing) and using half the RAM (down...

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Had a couple of crashes yesterday - same thing as before (BI using 100% CPU, PC frozen). Didn't investigate event viewer errors - got fed up and chose to "Reset this PC". At this point, I have a relatively clean Windows install, and clean BI install (entered all settings from scratch rather than...

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Been over 24 hrs now and CPU still between 50-70%. I don't want to get my hopes up, but it's looking great so far.

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    I suspected drive problems, too, but I ran diagnostics using each manufacturer's software and all checked out good. I do wonder if my setup would be better with OS on an SSD and everything (including New and Storage folders) on a WD Purple drive. When those Intel 750 series SSDs are affordable...

    iVMS (hikvision NVR iOS app) can you view alerts?

    I'm using a branded app which is the same as iVMS 4500 lite. It's called NVMS7000. I've logged on to the NVR from both and only see the solid blue timeline. Seems that's just the way it is. I'm just hoping they will eventually improve this with a firmware/software update.

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Oh, an odd thing I noticed regarding the RAM.. With 8GB of RAM, I had noticed 80% Memory usage at some points (which seems quite high for dedicated BI server). Now with 16GB of ram, I now see it going as high as 55% Memory usage. It's as if Windows was hungry for more RAM and that was causing it...

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Yes, this was an upgrade from Win 8.1 and this is 64 bit windows and BI. Haha, he definitely is a wizard. Since I ran the memory diagnostics tool earlier this week, I'll wait and see if this C++ does the trick before I pull out the old RAM. Thanks to both of you for giving me some ideas...

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    I have but now that you mentioned it, I checked and found this: Faulting application name: BlueIris.exe, version: 4.2.3.5, time stamp: 0x563bbb44 Faulting module name: MSVCR120.dll, version: 12.0.21005.1, time stamp: 0x524f83ff Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x0000000000074a30...

    CPU spikes, whole machine unresponsive

    Been trying to diagnose this for a while as I hate taking up Ken's time if a problem is something I can fix. Every other day or so, I'll find my headless, dedicated BI PC unresponsive and see BI is using 95-100% CPU. Normal is anywhere from 30-50%. i7-4770K 16GB DDR3 RAM Asus Sabertooth Z87...

    iVMS (hikvision NVR iOS app) can you view alerts?

    Thanks for the reply, RBW. That stinks. Just about everyone needs to interface with these systems via mobile from time to time and looking at motion alerts seems like a super-basic requirement for most. Scratching my head.. One guy (Ken, Blue Iris) can develop a mobile app that absolutely...

    iVMS (hikvision NVR iOS app) can you view alerts?

    Anyone with a Hikvision NVR using iVMS mobile app, I'm really curious as to how to view alerts vs. just the continuous footage or if that's even possible. MAN, this NVR makes me really appreciate Blue Iris, but it will hopefully achieve what I need it to where this is installed. With BI's...

    Good source to buy IP items at

    He replied to couple of questions I had in a PM a couple of days ago and was very helpful. Now I'm patiently waiting on him to answer a new PM. I'm sure he's playing catch up for a while after vacation. Edit: I ended up hearing back from him. Edit #2: Got an order placed at a very fair price...

    Not my video, but thought this was great. I've always thought banks need a similar system. :)

    new install for business

    Not sure what type of feedback you're looking for, but it looks good! Two thoughts: 1. Pic #1, the PVC doesn't look quite plumb (using mortar joints as a reference) so maybe watch out there. 2. I'd get some matching spray paint and carefully paint that PVC (slide something thin/flat behind...

    fenderman now you're starting to show your age. :) I had a "get off my lawn" moment when I caught a kid pissing on my house (party next door), but he said sorry like 5 times and I never had a problem again. Now, I could have posted his pic on the interwebs for all eternity, but I was a kid once...

    Cool service and whoever spotted those guys live is awesome. Just my opinion but you should have blurred these guys faces in the dock video before posting: Seemed like they were just having a good time, maybe in the wrong place, but harmless and cops even let them go, shook their...

    Out of order alerts on IOS app

    Right, so lets say it's Midnight now. My garage got triggered last at 3PM so that alert still sits near the top of the alerts list because it's the most recent from that camera, and then so on with each other camera. It's a bit jarring when you're used to the way it's been up until now. I'm sure...

    Out of order alerts on IOS app

    This whole time I thought I was having a problem with my alerts but I emailed Ken about out of order alerts on the app and it's actually a new feature. He said: "The current design puts the most recent alert from each camera at the top for easy access. I will be looking at how to better...

    Standalone Java app for dedicated live view with Instant Replay

    Very well could just be me. Maybe it has to do with the nature of the restart. I have BI Tools running and it forces a restart if CPU hits 95% or so for more than 20 seconds (which has been happening a lot lately, haven't diagnosed that yet - been diagnosing too many other things as of late).

    Standalone Java app for dedicated live view with Instant Replay

    When Blue Iris exe restarts, I noticed the viewer freezes where it was at time of restart which at a glance, the user thinks it's still a live feed. Is there any way to auto-reconnect? If not, is there a way to show on the screen that it's not a live feed anymore? Maybe these are feature...

    Out of order alerts on IOS app

    Ah, ok. I thought those problems were related to v. 1.50.02 (I noticed some posts in the forum about problems there), and thought this .04 update was just pushed to my phone.

    Customize Push Alerts

    Ah, found it. I was browsing all the help files and stumbled on it where I didn't expect to. In case it might help someone: Go to Status (icon at the top) > Messages tab > Status alerts (button on bottom) > then you see the options there to push certain status alerts.

    Customize Push Alerts

    Ok. I made sure Camera Properties > Watchdog > Trigger alert is unchecked. Pretty sure it was unchecked by default, actually. Here's a screenshot of Alerts > Profile > Watchdog: Am I missing anything here or do you think it's a bug I should email support about? Thank you!

    Customize Push Alerts

    I misunderstood this and mistakenly turned off Watchdog on each camera. Noticed cameras not reconnecting and realized what I had done - turned that back on. So is there a specific place to turn off the alerts in this case? When I go to a camera > Alerts > Profile - drop down to Watchdog, I...

    Out of order alerts on IOS app

    App v. 1.50.04, Blueiris v. 4.1.3.1 x64 Anyone else seeing out of order alerts on iPhone app? For me, some seem to stick near the top, not following the timeline. This only happens in the app, not in BI exe. Just wanted to check make sure it's not something I can fix. It's been happening for a...

    Customize Push Alerts

    I thought I'd experiment w/ getting push alerts on an outdoor camera that doesn't get a lot of false alarm motion triggers, but along with the normal motion alerts, I'm getting a ton of "Signal network retry" alerts from cameras that don't even have push turned on. Anyone know if there is any...

    What size hole should I make when directly mounting 2332?

    You can. What I did is I cut their factory end so I could fish the smaller wire through, then re-crimp on other side of wall. When you go back to re-crimp their end, the colors are different than the standard cat5 colors and you have to follow some instructions you can find around here. If...

    What size hole should I make when directly mounting 2332?

    I agree. I didn't want to drill a huge hole in our wall so I cut the huge connector off of my 2532 so I could re-crimp on other side of wall (this meant a nice 1/4" hole instead of 1" hole) but I failed. Hik has different color scheme for cat5.. I knew this but I mistakenly wired it wrong, and...

    idea for front door cam: hikvision cube + liquipel

    Had an idea on this. I might try wireless since the thing seems to be getting power (the IR lights come on). If that works, then I'll know something has to be up with the cabling (maybe I loosened a connection on the inside).
