    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    12 hours later, and zero "no signal" errors! Wittaj, you may be a genius! Thank you

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    Well, I don't understand it, but deleting the camera from BI and adding it back seems to have resolved the FPS and bottleneck errors. Almost 3 hours and zero "no signal" errors and no timeouts or even a hint of problems, and I've been watching it the entire time. I had previously had the camera...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    I think I'm going to look at this next. Looking at the bridge, I usually have a signal strength of 80 and MCS of 8. Currently steady at 30 and 1, but we've got extremely heavy rain at the moment. I do have the dock receiver in a different position than usual because I'm having work done on the...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    Well, apparently I was smarter a few years ago than I am today, because I checked and this is exactly how I have it set up. I verified that I can take the router out of the loop and my BI PC still sees the cameras. I tried the Cody POE++ injector instead of the cheap amazon one, and there's no...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    All my switches are Mokerlink - yes, cheap amazon brand, but they've been flawless and I have several of them. I have the one on the boat dock plugged into a cloud power switch and that's how I cycle the power, so it actually cycles the power on that switch but that switch going down also cuts...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    I monitor this camera most of the day while I'm working, so I like to see full quality. Nothing should be bandwidth limited and CPU usage on my BI PC is 10% and no storage issues either. When you say I could be overloading the system and it can't keep up, what system? The PC is hardly breaking a...

    Blue Iris "FPS / key rate" error and no signal

    I have a Tyco / Illustra PTZ that I believe is a rebranded Hikvision DS-2DF8236I5X-AEL(W). There's something going on with it and Blue Iris. Most of the time, no issues, but then the stream will slow down and I get the error "Check FPS and key rates". Sometimes the error goes away and the...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I’ve had this happen but only when using the BI app or when I’m remotely connected to my BI PC from my phone or laptop when I’m out of town. I think it’s a lag/connection quality issue. It’s like it picks up the initial click to move the PTZ but it never sees the “unclick” so it just keeps...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Wish some of the cheaper brands would come out with a POE powered illuminator.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I wasn't really trying to compare the two PTZs with that post, just pointing out that supplementing IR can make the cheap Dahua PTZ much much better in the dark. I agree that the camera itself is just fine - it's the IR that makes it so weak in the dark. I have a few areas I feed deer and other...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Here's a picture of a raccoon I took with the SD4A with supplemental IR from the other camera. This is fully zoomed in and the raccoon is maybe 250' from the camera. I didn't take a picture of it without the IR from the other camera because nothing was visible lol. The second image is the same...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Tendelux IR illuminators seem popular on this page, but I've never tried one. You can get them off amazon. The laser IR is on this camera: https://illustracameras.com/india/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ISS02P7ONWIT_Illustra-std_2MP-500-m-Laser-IR-PTZ-Camera_ds_r01_a4_en.pdf I believe that's a...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Try adding IR illuminators on the area you want to watch. My SD4A is useless at night. It's either too dark or after adjusting settings so I can see, I get motion blur and the image is unusable if there's any motion. I added another camera in the area where I have the SD4A. The new camera is...

    PTZ Cameras Randomly Getting Caught in Reboot Cycles

    I have a 36X laser IR PTZ that requires POE++ 802.3bt or 24v AC 60W power supply as well. I initially powered it with a Cudy 90W POE++ injector, and the camera would reboot anytime I had the laser on more than about 50% and was using the pan/tilt. I figured it was a bad connection somewhere, but...
