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!

Does Dahua config tool only find Dahua camera? s...apparently

I do want to start using the caera's IVS this go around. So I'll try just leaving the settings on the defaults

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?

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?

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...

Neve rmind answer is yes

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?

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...

Hmm... Hope the current SATA won't be disabled when using this NVMe M.2 That is the board basically except mine is green but all the same stuff\layout. Thx

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...

@Oldtechguy66 "sleeved the exposed parts." ? What do you use? Should one just cover any exposed cable with a basic plastic or metal electrical conduit? Some tiny critters got to my CAT5 which was technically not, visibly "Exposed" outside but run under the deck between the framing and a closed...

How do you RTSP a Wyze cam to connect it to BI for recording? I also thought as above the only option was a firmware replacement.

I just found and ordered a Samsung 990 PRO NVMe 2TB for $170. Not too bad a price these days and it was about the same price as the SATA. So that will free up the SATA connection to use for an additional WD Purple for addtl storage. So this should work out well. I'll keep an eye out for an 8th...

OK thanks all! From this discussion I think I'll just replace the SSD and keep this machine going a little longer. Sounds like some research will need to be done to figure out if there is a work-around to Win 11 but prob not since the MB, it appears from specs, can only accept up to a 7700 chip...
