    Why Does Frame Rate Vary?

    I think you're right! Why do they drop to the lower frame rate in night mode?

    Why Does Frame Rate Vary?

    Thanks guys. What makes my still question it further is that, all my cams are hardwired on Cat6 and switching/routing is all gigabit. So there is ample bandwidth. All the cams have 24fps (PAL) set in their respective cam settings. The other point is that they all seem to change Bitrate/frame...

    Why Does Frame Rate Vary?

    As the title says, why does the Frame Rate vary in Blue Iris? I have my cams set at 25fps and have the option for 'Adjust Automatically' selected, but what actually determines the change? When I open the Blue Iris Status window, the frames are always sitting around either set 25fps or 10fps. Is...

    Help with Wanscam settings

    There are numerous posts around the web of people editing the Wanscam for various reasons, nothing I have experience with though, have checked that you have the latest firmware installed? ...you could also try searching for a custom firmware but if doing so you should be very cautious before...

    Help with Wanscam settings

    are they IR lights that face the lens of the camera, or bright flood-light type lights and are they constant on or sensor triggered? I have a Wanscam, and know what you mean about light/exposure level not being very flexible. If I understand right, in your case the light flooding the lens when...

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    This is the path I am using in BlueIris: RTSP on 554 - rtsp://IPADDRESS:554/user=[USERNAME]_password=[PASSWORD]_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream ...and the software disk comes with firmware on it, but I think you can understand my hesitation to play around with it. It's very poorly...

    EasyN Camera from Kogan

    I have found that usually the software disc that is included with the cam will have the mobile app in one of the folders (sometimes iPhone and Android), or it will be referred to somewhere throughout the doc files (it may even be in one of the non-English doc's and you may have to sift through...

    How do I add a custom cam URL in BI ?

    Well... as much as I was sure that there were no issues with the ports, it looks like that was my problem. I changed all the ports (HTTP/RSTP/TCP/Media) from the default and re-entered the URL to the Video Path. Bang! Display sorted. TOP-201 is now running in BlueIris, no problems.

    Okay, I will check again to confirm it is all fine. I might actually change it from the default port, even though there is no conflicts it might be worth a try.

    How do I add a custom cam URL in BI ?

    I have done as you suggest, and get 'No Signal'. I check by purposely entering incorrect 'user' or 'port' and the message then becomes 'cannot connect' so I have a feeling it is connecting but for some reason, not displaying. Any suggestions? ...I have also noticed that the connection shows...

    I just received an order from them yesterday, which I ordered just before the cam. So I'm expecting the cam any day now. What I did like about ordering from buyincoins, was that they take a photo of the package before sending it. They are also a power seller on ebay, so I am hoping the negative...
