    Is this a good buy

    they are for 3.5"... sorry missed that. So these are the screws from the other thread here? I'm putting a g2 600 together right now & just opened the case - I need to sort this out too for a 2.5" SSD I'd like to mount in the lower tray as a boot disk

    I think they are here on Amazon, they are proud of them for what they are

    Dell Optiplex VS HP Compaq for a Blue Iris machine

    +1 for HP from me, I have an old i5-3470 HP that's never missed a beat to this day and I can't remeber the last time I turned it off. I have had a few minor hardware issues with optiplex machines over the years (I still own four personally though.... not sure what that says about me?). The HP...

    2.5" HD for recording?

    This machine has a free M.2 slot so I would of put a 256GB or so M.2 SSD in it to boot from/run the OS, further this application is only for a few 1080p cameras, 1 or 2TB of storage is fine for the use case. To that end, I've seen 5TB mechanical 2.5" drives on Amazon (never had my hands on one...

    2.5" HD for recording?

    Thanks Fenderman, I can get this for less than $100. More than anything I'm curious about 2.5 drives, never considered that form factor for NVR duty. I actually had an 5th Gen i5 SFF Optiplex I was going to buy local too (as opposed to this micro) but the seller backed out for some reason...

    2.5" HD for recording?

    I am getting ready to deploy a new BI system and have the chance to buy a Dell 3020M local to me with a i7-4785T & 16GB of ram on the cheap. The chassis doesn't have a 3.5" drive bay, only 2.5" in addition to M.2 that I would put the OS on. So my question is is there a 2.5" drive that is...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    Thanks for the feedback bboy. The way I read the instructions was that you needed to have the camera paired/synced in the Wyze app before attempting to flash the new beta firmware. I think you're saying you paired the camera in the Wyze app at the same time as flashing the new firmware? I'll...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    I wasn't able to get the beta firmware to flash last night after screwing with the camera for 45 minutes +/- Has anyone else had issues flashing this firmware? I'll probably try again on the weekend. Currently have firmware rev 4.19.4.48 installed. I've seen some rumbling on other forums...

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    There is a link here: Wyze Cam RTSP Works with v2 only or Pan - I have v2 and will attempt to get this in operation with BI tonight.

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    I bought one for the same reason, the best luck I had was putting the camera on it's own separate wireless AP that I had laying around. Kind of a lot of hassle to implement a cheap camera.

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    As I understand it night mode isn't working with the custom firmware.

    How to disable SV3C china feed?

    All a good idea, the two cameras I played with were trying to "phone home" always... I can't remember specifics but they are installed on an isolated network so not a big deal.

    How to disable SV3C china feed?

    I can't answer your question directly but I would get the camera off any internet connected network ASAP. You should have been able to connect to the camera's built in web page by assigning a computer to the same subnet and pointing a browser at the factory default IP address. The static (or...
