    Need to reboot BI Service around once a week

    The camera is a IPC-T5442TM-AS I have a few of these cameras on other PC BI setups and they have never been an issue. This issue is specific to this PC/BI setup. I'll try restarting the camera next time it comes up and see. I appreciate the suggestion of the watchdog! I was thinking it would...

    Need to reboot BI Service around once a week

    It just started happening again, so I've gotten some captures. Here is a view of task manager showing the network bandwidth oscillating. When it's functioning properly it stays at the top level in a steady state. Here's a picture from the Blue Iris stats screen. Normally the camera is...

    Need to reboot BI Service around once a week

    Hey guys; I have 3 separate BI servers running and I only seem to have an issue with the one. Everything will run fine for around a week, then I'll notice that the video frame rate on one of the cameras becomes really slow. Normally at 25fps it drops to 8fps or so. If I look at the performance...

    jpeg snapshot with sequential filenames

    Hey guys; I was wanting to create a timelapse by using the jpeg snapshot feature in a camera's record tab. I was wondering if there was a way of numerically sequencing the snapshot's instead of the default camera name with date, and time file format? (currently set to default...

    How to view main stream clips from UI3?

    I was just having another look in regards to the iOS app. When you view a live camera stream it shows the sub stream, however if you view a recorded clip it shows the main stream.

    How to view main stream clips from UI3?

    Thank you bp2008! I was playing with the latest some more and noticed that sometimes it opens the main stream but more often than not, it opens the sub stream. That explains why my other BI server running the latest stable version doesn't have this issue.

    How to view main stream clips from UI3?

    Hey there; I noticed that when I'm viewing recorded clips/alerts on the UI3 or the IOS interface, the video which is shown is from the substream. Is there a way to have it show the main stream, or at least show it when it's needed. (ie. when zoomed in etc.) My live video feeds through UI3 show...

    Motion Trails and Artifacts

    Hey All; For quite awhile now, I've been having issues with visible compression artifacts or trails on motion on my cameras, as seen below. I've seen lots of threads on this type of issue, but I've never been able to find any solid solution. I've been working on the issue today changing all...

    Camera overlay only on recorded video

    I guess as long as the software isn't decoding the video, adding the overlay and re-encoding the stream, all should be good.

    Camera overlay only on recorded video

    OK, great thanks. I'll do that. It makes me wonder however if it's using extra unnecessary cpu and not really doing direct to disk if overlays are showing up.

    Camera overlay only on recorded video

    Hey guys; I have overlays disabled on all of my cameras and direct to disk recording enabled as well. On one of my cameras however, I see the date and time overlay, but only on recorded clips. Has anyone else seen this issue? It seems to have appeared when I updated to 5.3.6.7

    Audio Video Synchronization

    Does anyone else experience audio/video sync issues on live or recorded clips through Blue Iris? I just setup an EZVIZ DB1 with the latest EZVIZ firmware and have been trying to get the audio to sync up. Without any adjustment the audio is quite delayed. I added a delay into the video settings...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thanks TechBill, that worked! I've been trying to use the batch configuration tool to set a static IP on the camera, however it doesn't seem to stick. I can change the camera to not get an address automatically, but the IP that I set doesn't want to stick. Has anyone tried to set the camera to...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hey guys; I just installed an EZVIZ DB1 and upgraded to the latest EZVIZ firmware. I've been trying to get Blue Iris to connect to it, but it's saying invalid user/pw. Is it true that the password is on the back of the unit? Do I need to uninstall it to get the password for Blue Iris video...

    Upgraded to V5. Daily scheduled picture is no longer being emailed

    So the saga continues.... I deleted the old event which didn't work and altered the time of the new event which worked to the time I wanted. The result of this, was that the event never fired.... So I then, added a new event (total of 2 now) and it didn't trigger either. I then added a 3rd...

    Upgraded to V5. Daily scheduled picture is no longer being emailed

    Alright, so I added a new scheduled event and it worked. So it must be something to do with existing scheduled events which were brought over from the V4 configuration.

    Upgraded to V5. Daily scheduled picture is no longer being emailed

    So, if I right click on the camera and go into the option to "Trigger Now", the email and picture get sent. So it seems like the scheduled event is not firing the trigger properly.

    Upgraded to V5. Daily scheduled picture is no longer being emailed

    I'm running 5.3.0.3 I just checked again and noticed that the active profiles for the schedule and for the alert weren't selected properly, however I thought I had fixed that previously. I selected them all for now and will see if it works tomorrow am when the scheduled trigger goes off.

    Upgraded to V5. Daily scheduled picture is no longer being emailed

    Hey guys; I recently upgraded to V5 which I love, however I'm no longer receiving a daily email that I have scheduled. I have a daily scheduled trigger, which generates an alert to send an email with a picture attached. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong or how to diagnose the issue. Has...

    Blue Iris iOS app WAN vs LAN

    Hey everyone; I've been setting up a new network, and it seems my Blue Iris iOS app always prefers to connect via the WAN method vs LAN, even though it's accessible via the LAN address. Does anyone know what criteria the app uses to select WAN vs LAN? I would have thought that it would attempt...

    No audio at the start of clips

    I reduced the idea me interval to 50 and the issue seems much improved. There definitely seems like there is a correlation here.

    No audio at the start of clips

    Hey everyone; I've setup a new BlueIris setup with two 4mp Dahua 5442 cameras. When playing back alerts via the app or the web interface, there is no audio at the start of clips, sometimes for several seconds. Has anyone else seen this? I'm running AAC audio at 32khz, if that matters. Video is...

    voices sound garbled recently

    I think that may have been it. Maybe there was just more noise recently and that's why the voices were garbled with the noise filter. It definitely seems better now that it's turned off. Thanks

    voices sound garbled recently

    I presume you mean inside the Dahua camera gui? There's an Audio->Attribute->Noise Filter option which was set to Enable, I just switched it to Disable. I'll see what happens.
