Cameras freezing

Post by dinth »

Hey. Ive got a bunch of Dahua made cameras, various models.
I used to run them on MotionEye before migrating to Blue Iris 5 and everything was fine.
Unfortunately in BI5, all the cameras randomly freeze - it happens quite frequent - almost every day at least one of the cameras freezes.
1. There's no notifications (motion) coming up from the frozen camera.
2. Watchdog doesnt pick up there's an issue with signal, doesnt attempt to reconnect, doesnt send an alert.

3. Camera is not paused.
4. Double clicking on the frozen camera in BI5 desktop app just makes the old image full screen...
5. But double clicking on the frozen camera in BI5 web access panel shows an error that BI couldnt connect to the stream.
6. Logging in directly to the camera and rebooting it doesnt fix the issue, BI5 still shows the old image...
7. But restarting the camera from BI5 desktop actually fixes the issue and camera starts working again.

Any ideas?
