    I love BI, but the database is terrible

    Why would I delete the database? On July 1st, I happen to notice a ton of alerts where missing and I started my investigation. The only database maintenance that happens is what is scheduled to happen at 2 am each morning.

    I love BI, but the database is terrible

    Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and it did not work. For all of my cameras, the oldest alerts are from 6/26, and I have clips that are weeks older than that, so something is up. I explored an image I took from my hard drive the BI database is on from the beginning of June, and found this...

    I love BI, but the database is terrible

    I watched the video, thanks for that. Here is a screenshot of my Clips and Archiving setup. I don't use Alert images at all, so there should be no limit on the number of Alerts that get flagged in my individual clip files. My Alerts directory is always empty, intentionally. Is there any...

    I love BI, but the database is terrible

    I have clips for all of my cameras that go back all the way to 5/23/18, but for some reason my alerts (the ones viewed along the right side of the console), only go back to 6/26/18 for all of my cameras. I have rebuilt the database, regenerated, etc and nothing changed. It's impossible that my...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Andy- Can you post a link to the no logo firmware for the IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 cameras from November of 2017? Thank you. @EMPIRETECANDY

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Does yours transition from Night to Day when it should (near sunrise)? As I stated above, both of my IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 cameras hold onto Night mode way too far into Day. I even tried high sensitivity today and no change at all. If that worked like it should, this firmware would be great for me.

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    Unfortunately, this firmware is useless to me. Both of my IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 cameras get "stuck" in night mode. They do the Day -> Night switch just fine when it gets dark, but will NOT automatically switch from Night -> Day when there is plenty of daylight (hours after sunrise) to do so...

    Severe Focus Issue with IPC-HFW5231E-Z12

    I wrote a C# windows service that I based on @bp2008 Sunrise/Sunset program, except I have it so it runs every 10 minutes and checks focus and zoom levels on my -Z12 cameras. Yes, if it needs to adjust focus, sending 1 command will get to where it needs to be. I figured out what the correct...

    20180523 Firmware for DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea

    The upgrade went very well on my 2 IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 cameras pulling LPR duty. The day to night switch worked as you would expect, switching from day profile to night as soon as the IR lights kicked on. However, the zoom still gets messed up as turning on the IR lights (and turning them off)...

    New Dahua Cameras will not remember NTP server

    I have a similar issue that you have, but slightly different. On my 2 IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras I use my local time server (Synology Diskstation) as the NTP server for their time source and also use that same NTP server for other cameras as well. Totally randomly, my 5231 cameras will be exactly...

    What is causing some cameras to have "no signal"?

    So far, it may be a hard drive issue. Last time this happened, I believe BI was in the process of moving files from my local hard drive to my NAS for archiving purposes. While that is happening, there is still lots of data being written to the drive as I record continuously. Perhaps "no...

    What is causing some cameras to have "no signal"?

    I have a mixture of Hikvision and Dahua cameras connected to a Dlink 24 port POE network switch. Some of the cameras record to an internal WD Purple 6TB drive and some record to an internal WD Purple 2TB drive. I just updated BI yesterday and all of the "no signals" were at 0, now this is how...

    Help with focus / script issue

    I don't have a ton to contribute to help you out on this issue, but thought I would share my experience. I just bought 2 Z12 cameras for license plate duty and work really well most of the time. I do use the @bp2008 utility to change from day to night and night to day and that works well. I...

    Absolutely impressed with the IPC-HDW5231R-Z!

    Just had to share my personal experience with how great the IPC-HDW5231R-Z is in low light! Just replaced a HikVision DS-2CD3332-I with the 5231 and the difference is staggering (in my opinion). Here is the HikVision: and here is the 5231 mounted in the same spot: The HikVision was really...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Just wanted to let you know, that with v4.6.5.3 of BI and UI3 b19, this issue seems to be fixed. Did you have Ken make any changes?

    Blue Iris UI3

    I just tried Opera with the same result. Might have to break out Wireshark and see what the difference is between 4.6.4.12 and 4.6.5.0 from a HTTP traffic standpoint.

    Blue Iris UI3

    It's openVPN on a Synology DiskStation, but I temporarily forwarded a port in my router and accessed it that way...same result. I wonder if this new feature in 4.6.5.0 of BI would do it? I would guess that would include video going to the webpage. *The MIME content-type for proprietary...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Well, here is an interesting tidbit of information. I did as you suggested and actually restored UI3 beta1 from early November from a backup. Same results, slow over the VPN. Then I restored BI version 4.6.4.8 from that same time frame (November 9th or so) and it worked great. Restored UI3...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Love the new UI3 interface! Thanks for all of your hard work and time you put into it. Not sure if you changed the way video loads a few versions back (v13, v14, in that time frame), but when I use Chrome (v63) and VPN into my home network, the live video feed takes somewhere between 20 and 30...

    blue iris suddenly a memory hog and at 100% cpu usage

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the display driver memory leak issue has never been a "start BI and I'm at 100% CPU" problem, it has always been a gradual increase in CPU usage over hours. 15 minutes seems very quick, unless others have had similar experiences. For what it's worth, I had this...

    Cameras keep cutting out, not sure why.

    It sounds like you are recording on motion, not continuous. That bar at the bottom is a timeline, so the times the camera records will have a bar and the times it does not you will get a break in the bar. To change this, go to Camera Properties -> Record tab. Next to the checkbox at the top...

    BI Increasing CPU usage over time (fixed w/reboot)

    Many have had this issue in the past. Glad you got yours fixed! However, this begs the question...is it ever going to be fixed? As we keep going forward and updates keep getting applied, are we always going to have to go back to the "last driver that worked"? Did Intel fundamentally change...

    DBCompact warning 1/0/0/0

    I have emailed Ken, the developer, and he said he will look into it. As of this morning, I still get this error/warning, so i am still annoyed by it. I have also seen this: DB access 1/0/0/1, note the 1 on the end and not a 0. Ken has said that this means BI was in the process of copying a...

    DBCompact warning 1/0/0/0

    Yea, good point on the images. I'll email him and see what comes of it and be sure to update this thread, because I searched for DBCompact in the forum and nothing else came up.

    DBCompact warning 1/0/0/0

    Yep, admin account. I have had this system up and running for around 2 months or so and it is dedicated to BI (used to be combined with Plex, etc). For probably around 1.5 of those months, all was good, no errors or warnings. Seems like as the clips.dat db file gets bigger, I tend to...

    DBCompact warning 1/0/0/0

    This software can be horribly annoying. I always used to get an error saying the database was in use while it was trying to perform maintenance at 2:00 am...now since BI was updated a few versions ago (I am running version 4.6.1.2), I don't get that anymore but now I get this: DBCompact could...

    Getting seriously tired of this error

    It's been fine for the last 2 nights, but if it starts to happen again I will have to figure out a way of logging what else is accessing the database besides BI.

    Getting seriously tired of this error

    I would like to believe this, but I have let this error go before and BI ended up over allocating a drive with video clips to the point where the drive filled up completely. So you have never seen or had to deal with this error on the 20+ systems you have setup? Either you got really lucky on...

    Getting seriously tired of this error

    I kept getting this error, corrupt or disk error 00000020, on my old BI computer before I decided to build a dedicated BI system. Now, I have this brand new computer with BI on an SSD, Windows 10 Pro, with nothing on it other than the OS and BI so I was hopeful it would not come back. Well...
