I shipped the Amcrest NVR back to Amazon for a refund today. I took the 4TB hard disk out first and reformatted it in my i5 / 16GB Dell PC dedicated to Blue Iris. It works. I have 12 cameras which are mostly Amcrest 5 or 8 MP devices and 3 5MP PTZ devices. I can web view cameras now on other PCs around the house, on phones via the web or on TinyCam. I even put TinyCam on a FireTV so I can see the cameras on the big lounge TV. All is good and thanks for your help getting me up and running.
Now I can actually LOOK at my cameras rather than peering at them wondering what is wrong . Nice. SO now I have two questions that I cannot find answer to either in the documentation or on YouTube.
1. What do the tiny icons on the top title bar of each web view camera image. There are several. One is two squares superimposed upon each other whilst another looks to my aging eyes like ablue star?
2. What is the difference between Timeline and Clips? Seems obvious but I see Timelines where there are no Clips.
This last is probably an obvious answer relating to the amount of time that the Alert existed but, I would appreciates a simple explanation, even to a url.
Thanks as ever.
