    All cameras pause every few seconds for a moment

    I had to travel for two days but will check remotely tomorrow as I'm in the hotel with weak internet. That said the CPU hovers below 10% generally. I followed the best practices for a multi camera setup to minimise CPU usage and it's a dedicated box.

    All cameras pause every few seconds for a moment

    Thanks for you detailed explanation. I tried it off and on and for my current installation it made no difference. I do use the substream for efficiency. I rolled up my sleeves, starting with the cameras themselves. Updated firmware to latest versions. Tried to play with all settings. Then moved...

    All cameras pause every few seconds for a moment

    No I run mostly fiber at 10G but that little subnet is only at 2.5 which is still overkill

    All cameras pause every few seconds for a moment

    Every camera is connected to is own gigabit-speed port on a dedicated managed cisco PoE switch that is directly connected to the PC with BI via a 2.5Gb uplink

    All cameras pause every few seconds for a moment

    The whole reason for having it is to run many cameras on a low-end CPU with iGPU and now I must turn it off to get decent video recording? In any case I turned it off and problem still exists. Went into the Hikvision setup for one camera and noticed it is happening with the live view there - so...

    All cameras pause every few seconds for a moment

    Hi folks. I have 13 Hikvision cameras all direct-to-disc dual-stream and using Intel+VPP on a Core i7-1260p with 64GB Ram. Primary record is to a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro then offloads to mechanical. Even freshly recorded video to the SSD pauses every few seconds but not consistently. It does it in...

    Setting CBR vs VBR in camera makes no difference

    When I set my HikVision to CBR BI still treats it as variable?

    Dismal Convert/Export performance

    Good idea indeed. In my case I am trying to motivate introduction of traffic-calming measures, on the race-track that is outside my house. We have had one death in the street already, and it is going to happen again before long.

    Dismal Convert/Export performance

    I do direct-to-disc and no - to be honest I do not see any difference when I play them both side by side. They look pretty much identical. On the re-encode I have had files as big as 56GB - nightmare to work with...I wish i had posted this earlier in my journey...Gratitude for your advice!

    Dismal Convert/Export performance

    Holy smoke...from forever to mere seconds...but why is the file a quarter of the size? for example with re-encode its 12GB and without its 3.7GB?

    Thank you - let me try this and revert

    Dismal Convert/Export performance

    How will that affect quality? Will I still be able to import them into Magix Video Pro X? The files are to be brought into the editor for a presentation to Law Enforcement

    Convert/Export slow - Where is the bottleneck?

    Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem - also with my system barely doing anything at all...

    Dismal Convert/Export performance

    I have a pretty decent setup, but trying to export a large quantity of clips, and it is taking forever! I have tried to export stock, and using the iGPU and NVIDIA options (GeForce GTX 1650 Super), but they offer no improvement. The (direct-to-disk) source is of course fixed - an 18TB Seagate...

    Complete export of all recordings possible?

    Greetings, does anyone know if its possible to export all existing clips, sitting in the "Move to folder," to an external drive? Ideally it would name each clip by cam and date-time.
