For the first one, have a look at Video/Config and see what the receive buffer is set to. Try increasing it.

Do these cameras have settings for I-frames (key frames) ?

Hi, this has already been fixed. I had noted in the Help file that the watchdog functionality had been changed, and I thought that would catch a few users out.
My response is now irrelevant, as the previous post has now been deleted as it contained spam links. We do check you know

In my aged experience there is practically zero use for GPU if you used a modern intel cpu. \ Must it be Intel? Would an AMD CPU and a dedicated GPU help? BI5 can use Intel cpu's for acceleration and it is simple to use if you have the right cpu. However the advent of sub-streams made this largely ...

These are the nuisance trigger preventing devices I mentioned earlier that BI5 used to need to stop the nuisance triggers, but with CPAI you just throw everything at it "set sensitivity to 11" and let CPAI decide if it is a required object or not. They are de-sensitising your triggers and ...

Do you mean you want it to sound outside ? If so there was a camera with a siren - did anybody get it to sound ?

Just a thought, could this be another watchdog issue caused by having audio enabled for a camera with no audio ?

They did

However, it's crucial that I do reduce the latency; after inputting "unicorn" in the cancel field and reviewing the .dat file, it's evident that the system is now comprehensively scanning the total amount of images I specify in the real-time field, but this results in considerable delays ...

I didn't use a graphics card with BI5 until CPAI. Before CPAI and sub-streams, the Intel cpu graphics was used as an accelerator. It all depends on what you will be doing with BI5, how many cameras you will have etc.

At present, I have specified push and sound alerts in the Alerts tab, under 'Actions' on Alert. However, I have recently seen the option under the Trigger tab, then 'When Triggered', followed by 'Immediate Actions'. Apples and Oranges. The Alert actions only work if the Alert is verified. The Immed...
