    New shape of Hikvision bullet camera

    Noticed on Nelly's website that there apparently is a redesign of the 4mp bullet camera. I know Nelly's is not using the classic Hik model numbers but this is the first time I have noticed the new case. Supposedly an OEM design. I'm wondering if any difference in specifications??

    BI auto start after reboot

    Thanks for the replys. Looks like there is some good evidence for both BI Tools and running as a service. Think I'll try running as a service first since it only involves making a minor change in BI settings. I looked at Fenderman's link and I'm not sure I understand that process.

    BI auto start after reboot

    Win 10 Pro version has "defer upgrades" on the advanced options. Home versions does not have a way to defer an update (and reboot). It will however allow "when to schedule reboot" but I don't think you can defer for more than a few days.

    BI auto start after reboot

    I just installed Win 10 Home on my BI computer. One of the downsides as you know is no control of automatic download and install of Win updates. I'm sure I 'm not the first to face this problem. So, what steps can I take to auto start BI after an unwanted reboot? Looks like a couple of...

    Win7 or Win10

    Yes I built the system. I am "temporarily" running Win 7 but need to get a dedicated OS for this computer.

    Version 4.3.8.0

    Thank you. I had just updated to ver 4.3.0.9 so found it and renamed. Looks like if you ever wanted to revert back you would just click on the file and it runs like an .exe file. I'm new so will start saving in case of future issues. good to know.

    Version 4.3.8.0

    How do you save and store particular version of BI? i.e. how can I just download the update file without installing into the BI program, in case I need it in the future.

    Network "Re-Design"

    Nayr, That makes sense! I guess the only thing I'm not sure of is when my desktop would ever need to communicate with my BI server. But, anyway think I'll reroute my cables to have all network devices terminate into the gig switch. It will at least physically clean up my cables. I've got...

    Network "Re-Design"

    Only things plugged into the AT&T router are the gig switch with the cameras and BI server, my desktop computer, and an Envisalink board on my alarm system. Talk slow and basic and tell me why other devices would be better plugged into the GigE switch instead of directly into the router? Since...

    Network "Re-Design"

    Nayr, I have not thought about this! I've got a TP-Link 10/100 switch for 3 cameras, then feeding that into a TP-Link gigabit switch with 3 more cameras on it. That switch is then routed to my AT&T 2Wire Gateway. The ports on the gateway are 10/100 Fast Ethernet. Everything seems to be...

    Win 10 which version

    That's exactly what I wanted to hear. And yes I've read of some of the tweaks on privacy and the classic shell. Heck with 7 I'm running the old XP look and the closer I can stay with that the happier I am. Not much for change. I understand what Bob is saying and don't think I'll have much...

    Win 10 which version

    This computer is a new build. I do run Win 7 Pro x64 on my business computer but I don't want to give that up for Win 10. I still am not crazy about going with 10 but support for 7 will end in a few years and for a dedicated camera system 10 should be fine.

    Win 10 which version

    I've looked at that chart and researched other websites and I can't find anything that I need. Just thought I might be missing something that would be needed for a dedicated BI machine. If there is I would appreciate suggestions.

    Win 10 which version

    I've got to buy a copy of Win OS. Still really like my Win 7 pro but because of future MS support seems like I might as well go with Win 10. Question is will Win 10 64bit Home version do the job for Blue Iris? Don't want to buy pro version if not needed.

    Where is hardware accelaration in 4.3.7?

    So.....when considering the compromise of video quality and storage space do you recommend bitrate type to be set at "constant" with max at 4096?

    Where is hardware accelaration in 4.3.7?

    Assuming camera max bitrate at 4096 kbps, continuous recording, do you feel there would be considerable more hard disk space taken up by going from 10fps to 15 or 20? I'm fine with the video I'm getting at 10fps but obviously would be smoother at a little higher fps.

    Where is hardware accelaration in 4.3.7?

    Increased to 15 fps and enabled hardware acceleration. Tried both H.264 as well as video Post Proc. CPU usage jumped up a couple % over 10fps w/no HA. Problem was that 2 Geovision cameras on system had goofy video. I'm going back to 10fps with no HA. I think I can live with 7 - 9% CPU.
