Why is the correct word. Let me try to articulate this correctly. A friend was telling me about his IT guy that doesn't want a DVR or nvr system because of security concerns of having a on site device. He is looking into a cloud based security system. He states that it would be cloud based...

No requirement for Starlight, only mentioning as that the major downside to the cheap cameras I suppose, and yet the price would be the same as a kit essentially. Can you send link to the kit you are referring to? I can't seem to find it. Thank you

It was my understanding that the kits, even those like Dahuas come with the cheap economy cameras, they aren't starlight models anyhow.

Looking to put a low cost camera system together but with better quality than most store bought units. I usually use IPC-HDW5231R-Z for all known reasons, but the price would be too high for a budget system. Would probably only use them outside. Was looking at the HDW4433C-A on Amazon and they...

Just installed a pfsense firewall for a client, using openvpn. Clients apple phones connect to VPN and can ping BI server. However it wont connect in the BI app. Lan IP is in both LAN and WAN. Setup the vpn on my android phone and I can connect without issue. Any weird tricks I'm missing? IOS...

Thank you fenderman, that worked like a charm. Split the load and changed each drive to delete. Everything has been working great. Frankenscript; isnt it great we have all this knowledge? I learn things all the time here lol

Ok so I would only need to put the drives back to the way they were and then rebuild the database. They will retain the previous recoreded video and then be allocated properly? If so I will do that then.

Record tab has only continuous selected on all cams. I just changed the new folder to E: and chnaged the 1600gb to 3500gb and delete rather than move and all cams are now recording continously as they should. However the status bar says -600G due to the Stored folder thats still on the drive. I...

Working on a system with 16x1.2mp cams and 2x4mp cams that are set to record continous, the machine has one 2tb hdd, and one 4tb drive. Previously there was an issue with high ram usage that caused the machine to lock up. In the diagnosing I reinstalled BlueIris. Ended up adding more ram and...

Any ideas?

I recently setup a BI server; storage consists of a LSI 9270-8i with cache-vault and battery backup, 4x 4TB WD purples in Raid 10. I created a folder on D: for the video files to save to. In BI I set the new folder to that and set the limit size to 9500GB and Delete. Iv'e noticed that the...

I don't recall hearing the filter click at all, if it's stuck. How can I unstuck it? lol I will have to take a look at it later tonight to verify.

I was installing a bunch of cameras I bought from Andy, when one of them was displaying a very dark image. Swapped the cam to make sure it wasn't an issue with the wire; other cam worked fine. I connected the bad cam directly to the switch with a 3' patch cable and the issue persists. In a very...

You can get used HP Procurve switches on ebay for cheap, they have lifetime warranty to boot. I just bought a 24 port gigabit with poe for $190.

What type of cameras are preferred indoors in businesses? Dome or turret? I know that the dome would add slightly better vandal protection. However the same camera in a turret would offer better overall image with the superior IR correct? Cameras will be 2MP varifocal starlight's, only...

I have installed a number of all-in-one systems in the past, as well as a few I5 systems with GeniusVision. MY problem with all in one systems is the reduced resolutions with the additional cameras. Some saying 4x1080 cameras when it can really only have 1 cam at 1080 and the other 3 are 720. If...

First post, but plan to stick around and learn. A future business venture may lead me to needing more help in the future. Let me start off with the current state, the company I work for asked me to find affordable PTZ IP cams, to only be used by sup visors/managers of that intended area; no CMS...
