since Dell has =OptiPlex%203080']50% off Dell OptiPlex 3080 SFF, and free shipping I went and bought an i5-10500 system today. Hopefully it wasn't too much of a mistake. 8GB RAM and 512G SSD. $274.50 shipped. I have an extra 8 GB DIMM that will go into it, and a large WD red is in it's future...

Any thoughts on this one. I'm replacing a 10 year old i7-2600 system with Win 10 pro. BI and 8 camera. I use a USB 4TB disk and keep my footage for a few weeks that way. is there anything better that I should be going for ...

Good point on the power up issue. I have since found out that there is a ZFS and a UFS file system. I used UFS which had known issues, especially on power cycle. I Just didn't know any better. So next time I have a free evening I'll switch to the other file system which means starting over...

Thanks all for the responses. Some 4 months later, here is where I landed: Got a CWWK/Topton generic "fanless" firewall box with a J6412 CPU on Black Friday from Amazon for $180. 16 GB memory and 256G SSD which is more than I'll ever need for this application. Thought if things went really...

I'm interested in PFSense, but I would need to find some rock solid HW. The Netgate SG-1100 would likely be sufficient for my needs and speed, but I just can't see paying over $200 (by the time you add shipping costs) for a design that's more than 4 years old. Maybe the PFSense CE version...

Looking to replace my Asus router which is no longer supported. I want a wired router and not one with WiFI. Thinking Ubiquiti Edge, but just starting to research it. I want to avoid junk and am willing to pay a bit more to avoid junk. Is it worth it to go the PFsense route, or is that too...

On your phone app, look for the screen below. Tell us your Firmware Version. Maker of camera is aware of the problem that you face with RTSP. Please wait a few days for the new firmware to be ready, and then upgrade firmware when it is available to 07.26100.07.12. Do this by clicking on...

revisiting more than a year later. IP Cam Viewer Pro although not perfect is the best I could find in the iOS app store. I also found that timycam pro is the best for Andriod and fire-TV platforms. At least for my needs.

Well, I got 4 years out of my Dahua bullet cam before it started to become intermittent in terms of (wired) network connectivity. Quite simply it would operate for about 6 to 12 hours, and then just lose ethernet connectivity (link light on router goes away until I unplug/plug the Dahua back...

How do I use the cam number on Tinycam to select a specific camera or camera group? the channel numbering in Tinycam seems random in terms of which BI cam it shows on Tinycam. Sometimes it shows multi cams in a split screen on Tinycam when I select one of the higher numbers for channel...

And I got ripped off. Order never arrived and I had to get a refund from Amazon. What a total scam. Dozens of similar complaints with the seller I used. I've moved on to better cameras. Not going to bother.

Quick question: Where are the logs on BI to see who logged in? I can't find them. Thanks

I just set this up with the Roku Ultra. Got the Pro version of the Ip Camera app from Roku. Works great, but one must put the IP address in the BI app as described in the original post. Otherwise no go. recommended app for Roku for viewing your cameras wherever there is a Roku.

What about the built in SD card slot?

These things are $15 shipped today on AMZN. I agree they are junk, but I ordered one so I can learn about how to update it to the open source firmware / software etc. My expectations are low, and I won't use it for any mission critical tasks. My guess is they are closing them out since they...
