    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    so far so good for the past 6 hours doing this! We'll see once 24 hours pass and I check what happens with the camera when I'm in bed... but oh man if this is what fixes it... wonderful!

    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    Unfortunately, I just installed the dummy displayport (my optiplex doesn't have hdmi so had to purchase a displayport dummy adapter) and also did the graphics settings and it's still doing the random ghosting/artifacting so now I have no idea. Maybe this weekend I'll create and crimp and test a...

    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    Whoa, that's way worse than mine! I did just try to do another BI update and see. Camera was working fine at 11:30AM PST today... an hour later, artifact trails behind my wife walking in front of the camera. Essentially no rhyme or reason to when it happens.

    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    Hmm interesting, never knew Windows added individual app settings that you can set the Graphics to be High Performance in the Settings > Display > Graphics Setting. I had set the Advanced Power Settings to High Performance way back when I set this specific computer up. Okay, I added...

    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    It is headless. I have RDP on my main desktop to it all the time. What's strange is so like just looking at some of the recordings from this morning of a contractor i had over, there's no ghosting or artifacting even though I haven't checked it since last night so a good ~11 to 12 hours, which...

    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    Unfortunately, the only options for the camera settings are H.264H or H.265, no regular H.264. Is that normal/unusual? And yup, currently on 5.2.6.5

    BI Camera ghosting/artifacting after a couple hours of normal recording

    Hello! I've noticed recently that my main Dahua camera after about about 4-5 hours of normal recording will all of a sudden start to show ghosting/artifacting. I can right click on the camera and choose "restart camera" and everything will be fine again until again about 4-5 hours. The settings...

    Turret Install Question above garage

    Hello all! Have an install question that hopefully I can get some help with. I've had this turret camera (NSC-2X2-DM 2MP WDR EXIR Turret IP Security Camera 2.8mm - Nelly's Security) above my door for a couple years, but since purchasing a Nest Hello doorbell, I feel that covers the front walkway...

    Blue Iris Playback 7 second freeze

    Ah yes! That was one of the other changes I made in my Computer Power Options! I knew I forgot to jot down what else I changed to get it to work. I'll edit my other post in case other people might spring upon this thread to help them.

    Blue Iris Playback 7 second freeze

    so no idea which ones of the things I changed which did it, but at the moment, the past couple days have had no freezes. Here's what I did in case it might help someone else: Made sure I actually went to the Intel HD 4600 website to get the latest graphics driver and installed instead of the...

    Blue Iris Playback 7 second freeze

    So after some testing.. i found out at least for me... the freeze always happens after the preconfigured record time after motion is detected.. so initially I had it to record 4 seconds before motion is detected. So the video was actually freezing after 4 seconds. I changed the setting to 10...

    Blue Iris Playback 7 second freeze

    <SOLVED> Steps I took that fixed my problem, most likely the 3rd bullet that actually fixed it though. Made sure I actually went to the Intel HD 4600 website to get the latest graphics driver and installed instead of the intel driver update utility as that one kept saying I had the latest...
