i think il just get a cheap reolink or something like that then, probably be the easiest option.

ive changed my hikvision 4mp cameras to some 5mp swann camera's and the microphone is pretty good. I need to find a discreet cam, not a bullet, something i can mount on the fence that's flat. I think hikvision do a mini dome which is quite flat.

im after a microphone POE IP based, can anyone recommend, I want to put it near the pavement. Would this come up on BI as a 'camera' or would the mic have to be added on to one of the cameras?

I keep seeing this in red on the bottom of BI with exclamation marks , The hard drive has 3.3tb free of 7.6tb

Im after an outdoor discrete camera to place on the fence just by the pavement, with microphone. I want to catch anyone walking past the house at face height. Can anyone recommend please. Im ideally after something that will blend in with the fence, I might even paint the camera the same colour.

Would this kill the bandwidth on the broadband by much? Also is this the best way to add a backup to the system. At present my blueiris PC is the only place my recordings get stored. If that gets stolen then the recordings are gone.

Anybody on here have any experience of using these? Do I have to use gjd detectors or will other makes work. I'm using it just for an audible beep and for floodlights at night.

8gb. Single stick. Now 16 x 2

Not as much as I'd of thought. 4.8gb. Ram is pretty cheap nowadays so a worthwhile upgrade. But the general overall cpu has gone down a fair bit.

Thought I'd just post my thoughts after upgrading to 32gb ram. Previously I had very high cpu usage. After posting my issues on here I had a few recommendations. The extra ram has certainly gone a long way to providing a stable system and the CPU is now around 20%. My system is.. 6 cams 5mp...

They are in h265. Am I better to use HA and h265 or 264 and no HA

I'm wondering if my cameras are set to h265. Il go take a look now.

Ok I now have the cameras dropping connection and no signal. If I go for no he acceleration it works fine. That's annoying I was hoping it would lower the cpu. Any thoughts?

I've ticked the intel option on hardware acceleration and it's gone to 12% now! Bonus. Thank you.

I've changed my 4mp hikvisons to 5mp Swann cameras and now the cpu is on 98%. I have 7 cameras. 8gb ram i7990 Intel. Any ideas. I've ordered 32gb of ram.
