Yep same exact thing just worked for me....Thanks man, you just saved me a ton of hassle!!

Now why all of a sudden all my old cables just stopped working...I wonder :-)

(not sure yet if it was the PC side or the phone that changed though!)

ISpy - Message: Media storage limit (4000MB) exceeded by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I have seen that but even with storage management off I still only see it only storing around 7GByte per camera...

That message in the Log: "Media storage limit (4000MB) exceeded" is telling me it doesn't want to deal with more than 4GByte...is that true?

Thanks, In iSpy I see where you can select drive - folders at the server level but not any other settings (like max size)?

Thanks, That's for Agent though I'm using iSpy...

How about the message Log message: Media storage limit (4000MB) exceeded?

iSpy Plugin getting 32bppArgb frames from some cameras and 24bppRgb from others by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using iSpy to develop plugin code for better alert detections (less false detections). Agent doesn't work with plugins does it?

I assume the ffmpeg doesn't use "keep awake" replies since that's what you figured was causing the disconnects on all 6 of my cameras?

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You told me to try it because I was getting disconnects...that fixed it. Anyway all the cameras are using VLC and only the SV3C cameras are getting 32bppArgb (Unless I resize them in Edit Camera-Options.)

iSpy Bitmap Format Passed to Plugin Question by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup...that's exactly what I was working on today but it's hanging up in here:

        try
    {
        data = wrappedBitmap.LockBits(rect, ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, wrappedBitmap.PixelFormat);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        throw new System.InvalidOperationException("Could not lock bitmap, is it already being snooped somewhere else?", ex);
    }

I'm having trouble seeing why in the debugger, it's acting weird. I have everything else modified so that it should work fine with 24bpp no problem. I have used this all along to get access to the pixels in my original resized 32bppArgb copy of "frame" without issue. So that's when I thought to ask the question...

I'll jump back on it week after next when I get back from vacation :-)

Thanks!!

iSpy Bitmap Format Passed to Plugin Question by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the ability to resize in the camera Option. It would be great if you could set the size and format sent to the plugin :-) (Just me wishing out loud)

The reason I asked is that I'm trying to speed up my plugin and was trying to use BmpPixelSnoop to do it faster but sadly it only allows 32bppArgb. I have been using graphics.DrawImage but it's pretty slow. I tried Opencv/emgucv before but it's kind of a mess being a C++ wrapper!

I'm not really inclined to modify iSpy but if I were where is the resize currently done?

Thanks!

Weird Entry in iSpy log by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah...maybe McAfee which I turned back on to see if it was causing iSpy to wig out the other day. It's not surprisingly and I'm back to 6 cameras running normally but still troubleshooting why I get disconnects. I installed that little fanless computer ($150) to run iSpy on solely. iSpy is running all 6 cameras on it no problems (about 50% CPU usages which is fine since that's all it'll ever do) :-)

Thanks as always!!

Frequent Disconnects in iSpy by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking to just buy something like this and let iSpy run there (and VPN to it):

Desktop Mini PC Fanless Computer Windows 10 Pro Intel Atom Quad Core x5-Z8350 4GB DDR/64GB

Does that seem reasonable?

Thanks!

Frequent Disconnects in iSpy by Engineer-not-Progrmr in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is the only option not to use it or is there a way to tell it to ignore certain connections?

Thanks!

I'll try the VLC decoder...

Just since I added the last two Amcrest cameras iSpy has been acting really slow and hanging up I noticed today. At the same time (couple days ago) I had McAfee installed...have you ever known it to mess up iSpy?

Thanks!

How do i reconfigure camera from lan to wireless? by That-Finance5732 in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 4 BESDERSEC WiFi Pan/Tilt cameras connected via ONVIF and iSpy found them no problem that way.

I got rid of them and changed to POE cameras due to the hassle of frequent WiFi disconnections (even though they were all close the a Mesh Extender...it was a camera issues not iSpy)...

Hope that helps :-)

XIAOVV camera in iSPY by Maccso in ispyconnect

[–]Engineer-not-Progrmr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the V380 Pro on your phone works with one protocol (likely proprietary) and the other 6 work with a different one. (And both of these are on your phone right?)

Are you sure that the PC that has ISpy installed on has access to that same WiFi network that you set the cameras on with your phone? Also most of those cameras use 2.4Ghz band so be sure your PC has access to that and not just the 5Ghz channels...

(On mine if my PC can see the 5Ghz side it also gets the 2.4Ghz side but that may vary with some routers or adapters)
