    Camera Web GUI won't work...Requires QuickTime Plug-in

    Sorry for late reply. Bad couple of weeks. Lost my mom. She was a few months shy of 90. I think she had a good life overall but a bit tortured in her last few years here on earth dealing with COPD and vascular dementia, AFIB, huge leg wounds and an old stroke which worsened, (and she'd...

    How long is normal to set up new discs as spanned drives?

    So I stopped it after several hours and checked the little, "quick format" box and boom, it completed in about 4 seconds. It was trying to do some kind of deep format by default. They were new blank drives so I saw no need for that. Now, can someone tell me how much storage my 8TB of drives...

    How long is normal to set up new discs as spanned drives?

    Then, most likely, only the drive with the video I care about most will be the one to crash anyway...

    How long is normal to set up new discs as spanned drives?

    After my recent BI computer rebuild I decided to add 2 new 4TB WD Purples I had available. I opted to set them up as spanned drives to have 8TB as one drive letter. I am several hours into it and it's sitting at 5% formatted. No big rush. It's just that I've never done this before so just...

    New Install Camera Identification conundrum

    Wow, thanks. A lot of great ideas for keeping track once I get them sorted this time. I like the static IP and subnet concept @quest100 100 and @diver165 suggested but do not know how to do any of that yet, so I'll do some googling on the topic. I appreciate the tips and direction!

    New Install Camera Identification conundrum

    Installed the Dahua Config tool and it ID'd 6 of them! Thanks! What do you typically select form Make \Model when adding cameras? I can select Dahua for those cams but then most of them have ever been listed specifically. So keep the default MS RSTP selection?

    New Install Camera Identification conundrum

    And there they are!... I do not have this many cameras so I assume this is everything like TV's IP phone, etc. So, I guess, just start entering them in one at a time in BI w a generic name and see if it connects and what shows up then rename?

    New Install Camera Identification conundrum

    I just installed BI on a new computer after a HD failure and realized I also lost my note file which listed the IP addresses and names for each my dozen or so cameras. :banghead: So now I have no idea what any of the camera's IP addresses are for any of my cameras for setup and if I had a list...

    Thanks Dumb question but I see there is a "DownloadBI5" and a "download most recent update" file on their site. Do I need to run both the initial download then the update when installing?

    BI Upgrade Cost Question

    I have been running on an older early 5.x version for a while now and have not renewed for some time as the version I had was working fine and did not need the additional features or support. After replacing my HD and a new Windows install, I want to update to the most recent 5.x version...

    Should I go new SSD or whole new computer?

    I believe this is correct for it. I have not used one before. It says M.2 SSD socket 3, Key M" Not sure what the keyM part means but from what I searched it should work even though I believe this board it said was PCIE3 and the SSD was PCIe4, it should be backward compatible so just won't...
