You might also want to look at UnRAID from limetech if you want to go with a NAS. It's super simple, uses standard SATA drives/controllers and you can add drives at any time, and of any size (up to the size of the parity drive.. which you can also increase at any time). You can run it on almost...

1) Did that. Then restarted BI. Then rebooted the PC. Nothing changed. (I don't care about the past clips, I just want to be sure future clips don't have this issue) I was using combine/cut but I just unchecked it. 2) The folder sizes should have all been under the available space, but I went...

Hey everyone, I've got a few issues that I could use a hand figuring out: 1) "bad" clip images: I was just looking through some recordings when I noticed some of the images used in the Clips window do not appear in the actual recording. EG: In the image shown for one clip, I see my daughter in...

First 2 cams from Milkisbad are set up! Took a week to get here (New Jersey to California) and cost $21 via UPS. Man, I'm spoiled by Amazon Prime! :) Hardware: Dell Laptop (forgot the model) i5-2520, 4G RAM, 120G SSD, Intel 3000 series onboard video (low-end) 2TB WD Purple for recordings...

I'm in the hills surrounded by 200' redwoods. Even with a full moon, it's pretty dark out here so I'm expecting that I'll want more IR. Being a tinkerer, I'm sure I'll end up making some of my own IR illuminators rather than buying them. That's just how I roll. :D

See what I mean about over-complicating? :D Thanks!

Has anyone tried adding IR LEDs to improve their camera's night vision? I don't mean opening up the cam and adding them, I'm talking about using them like accent lights to lighten up the darker, more distant areas while not adding any visible light. Am I nuts? Would doing something like this...

Maybe try using Ortho Home Defense Max or something similar. Just spray the (waterproof!) cameras and the surrounding area where they attach. After it dries, wipe the lenses clean. I sprayed it on my porch light fixtures months ago, still no new webs on them. The stuff's supposed to last up to...

Pretty sure I can get them not looking directly at each other... guess I'll find out soon enough! Thanks for the pic. :)

Thanks for the info! Didn't even think about the IR messing with the other camera. Pretty obvious now that you mention it. :) I'll put them up with velcro or something at first to test the locations.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I'm going to order 2x CMIP1122W-28 from milkisbad to cover the front of the house, then look at 1-2 more, maybe the 4mm models for the back and driveway. The IR Matrix LED looks like a must for me and the WDR... well, I just might as well get it for only $20 more...

Nowhere does it state that you'll get the key immediately (although you do get it on the transaction page); that was your assumption and the basis for your claim of being scammed. When anyone here offered info, helpful or not, you responded with attitude and condescending comments. You never...

zamzar.com will convert it. Just upload the chm file and you'll be mailed the pdf. There are a few more sites like that as well as some free apps.

Thanks for the info! PM sent! :)
