    Blue Iris/Plex/NAS build

    I would go to my local PC store and ask them: Do you have any old HP cases around, I want to transfer the motherboard from an SFF HP PC into a bigger case so I can add hard drives. I just did that for a used pc build but went the other way, I transferred a HP motherboard from a larger case...

    Please help! I have no idea what I’m doing!

    FWIW: I didn't read all these replies so this might have been said but the real work is the wiring, and how much work the wiring is depends on the construction of the building. If you use D or K stuff, there's a ton of help articles/videos, you can do that part, the wiring might be an issue.

    Wow nice! I would install on the NE corner of the house, I'm really missing coverage there!

    Blue Iris Multi-Threading

    In Windows 7, resource monitor, it shows 80-90 threads being used by BI v4. I have eight camera's running, a couple at very low fps. Anyway, that shows how many threads are running so I would think that the workload would be spread across all cpu's/threads about equally.

    Help me choose Dahau Cams

    A floor plan or some pictures of the area might be required if you really want everything set up right (and budget, probably the most important).

    Realtek windows 7 drivers

    BI says my cameras (8 of them) are doing 2000kB/s 200MP/s. This pc is also running Media Center Edition with 5 HD tuners.

    Realtek windows 7 drivers

    I debated on if I should post this or not but I'm thinking, why not: I updated my win7 BI v4 pc to the latest realtek win7 Ethernet drivers and I'd swear my CPU usage dropped big time. I really don't get it and don't have any good before/after numbers, just viewing on 'Windows Task Manager'...

    Lightning strike by house

    I was just thinking the other day how worthless google search is getting unless you want to buy something, it's getting harder to find real info using it! My parents house got a lighting hit thru the cable tv coax and it managed to take out all kinds of stuff in the house.

    Gremlins strike my HDW5231R-ZR Cameras

    Find one of the free SD card test programs that are out there. Run those against each bad SD card with the write test. The write test/reformat will clean up the SD cards. Fill out an RMA stating they were used for media playback, for each one, and then send them in under warranty. You will...

    Camera mounted in owl box

    As an FYI: If you want to seal a connection up really tight there is 'Liquid electrical tape' stuff, it's usually right by the other electrical connection stuff in the box stores. It's a thick coating that you brush on. It comes in different colors. It's a basically water tight seal.

    CPU increase after last update

    Ya, I read that but I need to read it a few more times, LOL. Also, I guess I'm not sure if my Dahua camera's support ("When enabled with a compatible camera") what it's talking about. I guess because it brought my CPU levels down to 'before update' levels my cameras must be working with it or...

    CPU increase after last update

    Ya, I've rebooted. I've been looking thru a bunch of threads on CPU and saw someone posted about the "limit decoding" box. I checked that an my CPU has dropped to 20-30% without the GUI running so now I'm trying to find more info on any downside to using that option, why it's not checked by...

    Ok, thanks for that, are you running BI as a service, it looks like that's what's using the CPU, even with no GUI up and running.

    CPU increase after last update

    Anyone else have their CPU increase after the last update (4.7.6.6 x64)? I was running at 30-40% and now I'm at 80-100% CPU.

    Actually, that does do what I want, it's just a different approach than I was expecting, the more I look at it.

    Free internet address for blue iris - remote mobile use

    Wow, thanks for the quick info. I guess it doesn't do what I thought, I thought it was a replacement for Dynamic DNS. This is what I saw: www.blueiris.pro/go?xxxxxxxxxx where xx's are the first and last 5 characters of your license key.

    Free internet address for blue iris - remote mobile use

    I went through the remote setup for Blue Iris and have it working with my remote IP address. On the last page they list of the remote setup stuff there was a web address that is included with my BI license so I don't have to use a dynamic dns service but I didn't write it down. I know it said...

    Has anyone seen a router overloaded by cameras?

    Because it's happening with two different routers I wouldn't think it's a router issue. I would be tempted to fire up wireshark and see if it gives you any hints as to what's going on. When you say the network goes down, what does that mean, are the lan card lights still on? Is there nothing...

    Dahua Webcam Issue

    Wow, thanks for this thread! I had an old Empire/Dahua camera that I could log into with IE but that was it, couldn't change any settings. Pale Moon browser did work for me to get into the camera setting and get everything set back up!

    2mp Camera with fuzzy right side

    I guess it's possible but the inside of outer glass is completely free from any water vapor, it 'seems' dry inside.

    2mp Camera with fuzzy right side

    I have an Empire/Dahua 2.1mp bullet that is several years old that has a fuzzy right side of the picture. I unscrewed the outer glass lens cover/metal housing 180 degrees and the fuzzy image was still on the right side so it's not something on the outer glass lens cover. I'm wondering if any...

    Iframe interval on Dahua cameras

    It looks like in H264 it gets even more complicated and Iframes have even less meaning, amazing what these video encoders are doing and how they are progressing.

    10 cameras - Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz

    Ya, I was going to try to skip V4 and buy V5 because I just bought V3 the year before V4 came out, maybe I'll have to rethink that, LOL!
