Ok thanks - I have a lot to learn as I thought the purpose of BI was to control some of these settings for me! I will spend some more time trying to learn from which interface I should be setting which controls! Thanks again! Dan

Thanks, I will go for manual settings (I guess a profile for night and one for daytime as others have suggested?). I’m quite a newb so I do have many things set as default. I know this isn’t a PTZ, just a “Z” but my original Starlight varifocal has none of these issues, including having no...

Also cannot find proper PTZ settings in BI 5 to zoom - works fine in direct camera settings. Thx.

Is there a newer / better firmware for this cam? Also, I’m getting a large circular “whitewash” area at night. I saw some posts suggesting problems with IR in this model?. Did I make a poor choice? Thanks.

Gotcha. Thank you for the update.

I recently ordered a Dahua from the IPCAMTALK store - I could have ordered same from Andy’s Amazon store I suppose - it has been 5-6 days and tracking says “PROCESSING”. Does anyone know how long it will take to get a cam shipped and received?

Someone asked about Monoprice cable - I believe the monoprice cable I bought listed the manufacturer and also had the test report linked as well but I may be confusing it with another online supplier.

1000 ft sounds like a lot of cable until you have to snake it across the attic then down to the crawl space and back over to the wherever the router or media area is...

Monoprice

I've got an old HP that I salvaged from a person who didn't want it - (using it for my kids). I launched the upgrade and it installed the standard Win 10 downloader...it's going to take awhile but I'm confident it will work.

I haven't tried it but the official Microsoft Windows 10 free upgrade accessibility site is still up indicating it is available.

Looks legit based on the site itself and also based on google shopping reviews. I have bought from less reputable and still been ok....use credit card and pretty much nothing to worry about. Also, I have never had problems activating licenses - use the phone system to activate if that is still...

Looks solid.

When you say 'updated from fresh install' it sounds like you reloaded your box from scratch - so you might have removed or reconfigured some AV or other applications or drivers from your previous setup that were consuming cycles...?
