    audio-only devices?

    I would like to supplement a wired camera install managed by BI with some wireless audio-only devices. Has anyone done this and/or can recommend specific hardware that will work with BI?

    snow, sleet, rain, and IR

    Thanks. Will search better for other resources covering this here. I'm not using AI yet, but is that also a mitigation? Seems like it would be... interested in how well it does in this use case.

    Working phone alert example?

    I'm interested in this as well. I wouldn't call it insane to get alerts via phone calls--it is just another alerting path--particularly for users who do not have smart phones (yes, there are such people!). Not knowing much about it I would venture to guess there are at least 3 possible...

    snow, sleet, rain, and IR

    Apologize if this has already been covered but I didn't find anything after a quick search. At night, snow, sleet, and rain combined with IR illumination can make the camera view look like the old Windows starfield screen saver (like this, but vertical...

    hikvision proof of concept in qemu virtual machine

    I agree that for certain security related analysis (I'm specifically thinking of examining malware running on the device), running on physical hardware would be best since the malware might use detection to see if it is running in a virtual environment as an anti-analysis technique. You are...

    IPC-T5442T not being detected in BI properly - Bad response

    Amazing, I suspect this may hold the record for quickest time to thread resolution. Very strange how it got out of sync, since I have never touched that setting. In case someone else has this issue, I will add that to reset the password, one should make sure "Modification Mode" is set to...

    IPC-T5442T not being detected in BI properly - Bad response

    I have 7 IPC-T5442T cams purchased from Andy. All, as far as I can tell, have identical settings in the camera Web UIs. All have been added to BI. However, one of the cams is not being set up like the others. It seems as if the camera in question is returning a "Bad response" when I use...

    3 cams have "video was being recorded" icon from over an hour ago

    Will try that. Once you mentioned that option, Iooked it up and saw the following about the option in the manual: "For when triggered, un-check this option in order to have one file recorded for each event." This actually seems desirable to me (one file/clip per event). I'm a bit surprised the...

    3 cams have "video was being recorded" icon from over an hour ago

    The cameras are currently all configured for recording video "When Triggered". The config for each is shown below. I think I probably confused things by posting multiple times. Let me try to explain again. At 11:30, 2 cams caught vehicle (Vehicle 1) motion: "Front Yard", and "Back Door". 2...

    3 cams have "video was being recorded" icon from over an hour ago

    Just noticed something else, which probably helps explain why I didnt see new clips for 2 of the cameras (but that is still very counter-intuitive to me). So, 2 hours prior (around 11:30) to the motion that I originally mentioned there was OTHER motion that was picked up on 2 of the cameras. If...

    3 cams have "video was being recorded" icon from over an hour ago

    Sometime between posting the original thread and now, the gray circle icons on all 3 cameras went away. But still only one entry in the clips side-bar.

    3 cams have "video was being recorded" icon from over an hour ago

    BI release 5.6.3.1 A vehicle drove across the field of view of 3 cams. I see 1 clip from one of the cams in the Clips side bar. Those 3 cams all have the gray circle icon on their camera title bars. The manual indicates this means: "Video was being recorded; the file is still open to receive...

    Clarification on Windows update warning

    That is a good idea. How do you have it set up? (What software are you using to take the image, and where does it go? To a NAS?)

    Clarification on Windows update warning

    OK, I feared that might be the case.
