Wasn't aware of that, but too late now. I have 2 EmpireTech cameras for important zones and an Amcrest for a garage zones. So far the Reolinks have worked well except for this - but that doesn't appear to be related to the brand.

Are these checkboxes the ones I should uncheck? I changed Interframe to 1x on both cameras. I will have to check my other EmpireTech and Amcrest cameras also.

Yes, even though I record continuous... rewind is like th I think that is the BI Camera status page, but I don't see "KEY" anywhere. And on the Reolink Camera:

I've noticed that some of my cameras record by the time someone walks all the way up to and/or past the area I am recording. For example, when someone walks through the backyard - I don't really know where they came from because they are practically past the camera's range by the time the...

Ha ha - that was the first thing I thought to myself. But - like you said, it is now working.

I deleted all the settings for the camera, then re-set it up, it seems to be working for now. Seriously no idea what was going on.

I have 2 of these cameras (among a few others. They are on my network at xxx.xxx.xxx.21 and xxx.xxx.xxx.22. Both show up fine in the camera's web interface. Both used to show up fine in BI. Lately, though, one of the two cameras is not showing up. All of the settings on the cameras...

Any amount of lumens or specific lights that you would suggest?

I have decent cameras right now (IPC-Color4K-X) and will likely be adding a few cheaper cameras. The LED on the camera is ok to bring in some light, but I was curious if adding some edge lighting around the house would help get a better night picture? The 2 areas now are: I was just...

It is a VM with a C drive and E drive (both on same SSD on the ESXi host). I think I will eventually try to get to some spinnys there, but for now I have to do something. Money isn't limitless right now (partially because I just bought a shit-ton of networking equipment and cameras)

The main BI server is a VM on an ESXi server. I don't have unlimited storage there - hence moving the rest to the NAS.

E: drive is local I really have no idea how I use New and Stored :) Like I mentioned - I really just want one location for the temporary (1-2 day videos) and then another location for the historical stuff (0-30 day, probably). My original thought was have new stuff for 2 days like the image...

On my Blue Iris system, I have been trying to set up the storage, but have made errors previously where I didn't have enough storage to complete more than 12 hours at a time. Not ideal when your kids slip out in the evenings on occasion :) I did fix that, but I did it relatively quickly and...

That is what I thought at first, but I verified that I am using the admin user for both. With that said, I created a specific onvif user and that does work, so you are correct. I'm just not sure why since i set them both up the same way (from scratch, no importing, and with a script in...

Good idea. When I have some more time I will do a factory reset on that thing. See if that helps resolve.
