    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    I guess I should also mention that my total bitrate dropped from an average of 547mb/s to now around 120mb/s That seems pretty substantial bandwidth savings and I'm guessing that also means my LAN traffic will benefit from this drop.

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    So, I've configured all of my cameras for substream enabled and added the correct substream string in BI for all 14 cameras. I do see the mainstream and sub stream numbers for each cam now. Phew! Now, my task manager CPU usage hovers around 7-9% but my CPU usage showing in BI @ bottom is...

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    Done half of my cameras and now CPU typically is staying around 18-23%. Occasionally though it bounces up to 49% for no apparant reason but does come back down. I checked the status window/log and don't see anything obvious happening at the time, but will look at that more later if it...

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    Thanks, I'm futzing with it now and will report back in a day or so. Last question. I'm setting up my two dahua cameras with substream on, etc., but how can I actually tell in BI that it's using substream for viewing and mainstream for recording? Is there a clear way to tell?

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    Thanks wittaj! I am re-reading that section again and apparantly with fresh eyes, or at least it's clicking now. I'm going to do a test of this on 3 of my cameras now and see what happens. One last question based on my original post. If I use direct-to-disk recording (which I do for all my...

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    I haven't done the sub-streams from the wiki, but pretty much everything else and I kept a copy of that for reference. I need to read about the sub-streams more and how/when to use them. I think I was misunderstanding why to use them and didn't pay as much attention to their use. Is the...

    Hardware encode and Hardware acceleration

    Can someone explain what the differences are for the Hardware encode (under camera options/video) and the Hardware acceleration (under camera options/record/encoder options)? I have kept my video compression set to direct-to-disk but was wondering now that I'm using a dedicated NVIDIA card for...

    Orange streaming delayed symbol - need help troubleshooting or ideas

    I should mention that my issue has been resolved by upgrading to a new (Much faster/stronger) AX6000 router. It's reasonable to assume my old router just couldn't keep up with the traffic going through it. Everything works very well now, no more orange clocks.

    Flashing background/mask on UI3 screen

    Thanks, if it happens again I will be sure to try that.

    Flashing background/mask on UI3 screen

    OK, I fixed this with the sledgehammer approach. I back up each camera registry and had a backup from a couple of months ago. I restored (imported) both camera registry files and whallah, both are behaving like they should. Still no clue on why this started in the first place but at least it's...

    Flashing background/mask on UI3 screen

    I meant put version number info, here it is: Current version is 5.4.7.11 (most current stable version), however I did try to upgrade to a current version 2 days ago, which didn't make a difference so I reverted back to 5.4.7.11 Those 99 notifications are normal notifications I usually expect to...

    Flashing background/mask on UI3 screen

    Recently, unknown to me as when this started, two of my cams which have text overlays and/or masking, started "flashing" on/off as seen in the attached video. I noticed it one day when I was adding a facebook livestream to one of the two cameras (since disabled) but I honestly can't see how that...

    Uninstall and re-install BI5 question

    I have an issue where I'd like to try to uninstall BI5 and re-install it (full install) to see if it fixes the problem. I've exported the BI registry from BI5 settings. Two questions: 1) Will I need to de-authorize the installation, uninstall it, re-install it and re-authorize it with my key? 2)...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I had this happening for months. I tweaked (and tweaked) the camera settings and BI video settings to no end. Finally, very recently, I ended up buying a more updated and much (MUCH) faster router (TP Link AX6000) and all of my orange clock issues went away. I didn't realize that my trusted...

    LAView Halo one - can IP be fixed/static or do I need another brand?

    I believe it is a Hikvision OEM product and it wants to default to another IP in my DHCP range so it's never the same. I have the latest software from LAview but will see if Hikvision has something newer.

    Orange streaming delayed symbol - need help troubleshooting or ideas

    Right now the unmanaged switch would be hanging off of the router. I also keep a spreadsheet of IP addresses that I assign, but there are probably about 15 or 10 that are DHCP for one reason or another. All of my cameras except for one are static ips. So my plan was to test this out by...

    Orange streaming delayed symbol - need help troubleshooting or ideas

    Samplenhold, Duh, that worked. I wrongly assumed since it didn't work one way it wouldn't work that way. Thanks! I have a 48port managed switch coming in Sunday and will work with that but, if I connected a cable to this card and my unmanaged switch, then I could change each camera to a new...

    Orange streaming delayed symbol - need help troubleshooting or ideas

    This is what mine looks like and no matter what I type in, it doesn't like it :) Now, I don't currently have an ethernet cable connected to it yet but I don't think that should matter.

    Orange streaming delayed symbol - need help troubleshooting or ideas

    samplenhold, I am going with your #1 diagram, 2 nics in the BI machine. I just bought a second nic and installed it but have some questions. My primary nic in the BI machine is 192.168.0.x. and it connects to my main router via a non-managed switch. I'd like to set the second nic (that will...
