    Push Notifications - Turn sound off?

    I checked the manual already which is why I was surprised. In any case, sorry for the double post. Admins can delete this if they want, but I figure I would post what was triggering this. My problem was that I run a custom program when an alert is triggered. The program uses curl to alert...

    Push Notifications - Turn sound off?

    I have push notifications turned on for my front door camera, and that is working great. However, on my PC that is running BI, I am also getting the notification sound (defaults to the "Pop" sound). Is there a way to not get the notification sound on my PC?

    Anyone using tablets as monitors around the house?

    I'm curious how well the kindle fire 7" ($50 one) will perform for 7 cameras. I was also thinking about buying a few of them for around the house.

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Any chance we could get a hotkey to toggle the left menu bar on and off? Most of the time I keep the menu bar hidden, but sometimes it's nice to be able to go back and see clips or to simply check cpu/memory usage. Thanks for your work btw, this interface is great!

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I NTP settings

    Thank you all for the replies. I tried @alastairstevenson advice, but it did not work. I was able to ping my router and my BI machine, but I still could not ping the outside world. I ended up running an NTP server on my BI machine and that is working well. Thanks again!

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I NTP settings

    Hi All, I have a DS-2CD2132-I that is on the V5.2.0 build 140721 firmware. I have 6 other cameras (DS-2CD2032-I) that are on V5.3.0 build 150327). I am using direct-to-disk in Blue Iris so I cannot use BI to overlay the time, so I have all of my cameras doing the overlay instead. The 6...

    high cpu usage

    Thanks for the info. Would using direct-to-disk options also increase the file sizes since it would be recording a raw stream? I guess I'm still kind of confused about how this feature works.

    high cpu usage

    I don't want to threadjack, but what are the disadvantages of using direct-to-disc? I don't have this enabled on any of my cameras and have about 50-60% cpu usage with 7 2MP cameras all recording at 720p @ either 15 or 20fps. I'm currently re-encoding to h264 with 50% quality using preset...

    Keeping cameras clean

    I recently installed 7 Hikvision cameras, all setup with motion detection recording with BlueIris. During the night, I am getting a lot of recordings because of spider webs going in front of the camera lense which triggers the motion detection. I will then go ahead and clear the area around...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I - Branded EPCOM

    Yeah I figured out the NAS route. Just added an SMB share from my personal NAS and then copied the files to /mnt/nfs00/. Thank you for all your help! I think I'll be purchasing some more cameras from this store, as they seem to be fairly reliable from other stuff I have read, and their prices...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I - Branded EPCOM

    Thanks for the info! After running prtHardInfo, I see language = 1. Not sure what that means. Also, regarding checking the values, I'm not 100% sure what you mean. So if in SWKH starts at offset 0, do I check offset 0x10 or 0x14 (i.e. am I checking from the start of the magic number, or the...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I - Branded EPCOM

    Curious if anyone knows what this is about. I bought this from Amazon from the seller CCTVONE. I was disappointed at first because it came in a brown box, but after checking the serial number, it has CCWR in the serial number and not CCCH. However, I did notice that there is no Hikvision...
