    About 50% of Windows users are still on 10, so maybe something will happen to break the stalemate before next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Yep, we need an AI to keep track of it for us. I bought that computer like 7 years ago I think, so it’s “served” its purpose well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I knew about the proprietary issue when I bought it but did not know MS was going to have TPM 2.0 required for Win11 or stop supporting Win10 so soon, [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Wish this was easy with Dell Computers and their proprietary MOBO design. I have until next year to figure out what to do, [emoji1787] Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    what is happening on UI3? can it be used to setup alerts?

    A couple of anecdotes come to mind: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Don’t mess with perfection. [emoji1787] Mark

    100% HDD Usage

    If this changed on its own, meaning it was working for some period of time and then suddenly the problem started, check your cameras to ensure they are still set to Direct to disc. This happened to me; three of my 15 cams had that setting changed without any user intervention, and caused...

    BI stopped creating alerts

    Thanks for the info. I am using the $10 BI app. I’m not sure this is the same issue because basically the AI is failing as you can see in the log snip below. I only use the AI for alerts to minimize the notifications. I was actually thinking this could’ve been caused by the windows update...

    BI stopped creating alerts

    For me, the repair/regenerate doesn’t work to start the alerts again. In my system, this issue has resulted in the alerts being intermittent.

    No clips since the 13th. Caused by update?

    Did that update affect alerts at all? I have clips since the 5.6 update, but my alerts stopped earlier this month. I am using AI, and it times out. Here is an example:

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam Setup Help

    I was just trying different cam # settings as a last resort. When I enter your stream profile, it has no signal, even with Cam# set to 2. What does yours show for "Main"; is it also (default)? Thanks. Mark

    Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam Setup Help

    I appreciate the assistance. Unfortunately, that did not work; no signal at all from the camera. I presume you have something other than (default) in the Main drop-down box. Mine has no other options than default.
