sofakng Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I’m using Blue Iris (v5) for my home camera system and I’m also using the Blue Iris Static IP Camera DAD driver from May 2016 (!!!). It seems to be partially working and I can see the cameras in Control4, but it’s only showing static (still) images and not a live video feed. I’ve searched the forum for this issue and I’ve read that Blue Iris needs to be configured for 720p 30fps but I’m not sure where or how to configure that. I’ve searched the Blue Iris settings and I think I am using that already (1280x720, 30 FPS). Does anybody else have this problem? Are there any other (better) drivers available? Are there any drivers to view the Blue Iris recorded footage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofakng Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm running the latest version (OS 3.1) with an EA-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWD Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I’ll have to dig through my settings and see if there is an alternate stream but the main stream is at 4K and 29FPS. No issues though it does stream back at 720. This is also in the IOS app. Have you selected the video feed you want to watch? When you initially bring up cameras it does show a static image. Once selected it will playback real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofakng Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Yeah, it does show a still image but even after I select the individual camera it still shows a still image. I think it MIGHT update a few times every minute or so but it's mostly static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecschnei Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Like I said, I was out of town...Make sure your snapshot refresh rate is set at 1 to 5 seconds in the camera properties of the c4 driver.In the camera properties (logging into the camera ip address) I have the following settings (see pictures below for all 3 stream settings.I can't send screenshots of the composer settings because I don't have it but I have my notes from the initial setup. Hope that helps.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofakng Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 @ecschnei: Oh, I'm sorry! For some reason I assumed you meant you would be home later than night. That's completely my fault and I absolutely apologize. Thank you so much for the help with the settings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofakng Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 OK, so those are the settings on the camera (Dahua?) itself, right? I'm using the Blue Iris driver so I think Control4 connects to Blue Iris which provides the video stream so I don't think those camera streams would matter? I did try changing the Control4 driver settings to 1 second (and 5 seconds) but it didn't seem to affect anything... Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecschnei Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 You still need the camera to feed blue iris the right streamsSent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecschnei Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 And remember to only use the blue iris server ip settings in the c4 driverSent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
