    Why are there so many updates?

    My BI machine 'bricked' itself on a BI update last year and has been off-line since, and I've been too unwell to sort it out. The machine won't even boot up now As soon as I start to feel better (cancer & chemotherapy treatment) I'll take a look at it more earnestly I've kinda got the feeling...

    Can't find camera on network SADP

    As far as I'm aware SADP is specifically for Hikvision cams, not just 'any' Chinese camera You may be better off with WireShark

    ProVision - ISR camera's

    Good review but worth noting that the review date was early (Feb) 2021 - both camera's are now listed as Profile S ONVIF compliant (July 2021 & Sept 2021) MAy be worth a post-note on the review, as the review statement is now incorrect

    Wondering if this would be possible

    Thanks @pozzello Ideally would be looking for other fibre broadband users like me with both high speed connections (66Mbps D/l, 17Mbps U/l) and unlimited data - mine is capped by a 'fair use' policy, provided I don't exceed 50Tb per month ...... so fairly safe on that count ;)

    Home purchase w/existing cam system

    Firstly, I'd take down one camera & see if you can access it with a PC, maybe try WireShark ..... If you can't get it working, you've lost nothing Secondly, whether you can or can't get it working, I'd personally remove the entire system & start afresh. I'm guessing someone called Jerry...
