    BI Storage Settings Question

    Does that mean the there will only be 7 files for 7 cameras each one as long as it can go? What would that do with the 8 MP camera vs the other cameras? Thanks for your response.

    @pinko - You are the man! I owe you a beer. Thanks to everyone who helped me get this set up. I think I have a basic setup working and recording 24/7. I followed all of the tips for CPU efficiency. Question - I logged directly into the cameras and reduced frame rate to 15. I did the same...

    Alright - I'm getting there. The hard drive is in and fits the way Pinko described. Now I have a question about the hookup. Where do I connect the cable in Photo 1 and 1A? Do I need it? Can the SATA cable provide power? Photo 2 shows how the hard drive sits in the cradle. Half of the...

    Alright - so I received the part and am not sure how to install it. It still looks like it takes up too much room. Can I just use an external enclosure over USB? At this point it would be easier. The first picture is what the SSD looks like sitting on top of the blue caddy.

    Thanks everyone. I didn't put it in my initial post but I already had a dual NIC in my server. I have gotten the cameras all up and working using Dual NIC setup instructions that TL1096r linked. TL also linked a Router Security page that was the best explanation of IP addresses I have come...

    Ok Ok I get it...search function is my friend. I've been on enough forums to know better than to ask without doing a search myself. Usually at least one person pops up with faux outrage at treating the new person poorly and provides the correct answer. It's like everyone collectively had a...

    Minor success and still a big failure. I've got access to my cameras...however, the first one when I started it asked me to load an add in and now it appears I am locked out of that one. In fact, I am locked out of all of the cameras using IE. I can log in using Edge all of them except the...

    Thanks for the great info. That dual NIC link might be the ticket. I can't work on this tonight or tomorrow but there is a good chance I will be back on Wednesday with further questions.
