Thank you so much!!! Exactly what I needed.

T-Mobile's (and perhaps other carrier's) email-to-phone is not reliable and may go away. One explanation of the problem I've heard is that the FCC has mandated that carriers scan these messages for spam. The systems are not up to the task. I'm in search of something that will reliably send...

Well, Windows strikes again! After a restart things are working as they should. Thanks for the quick reply!!!

I am running BI 5.3.7.12 x64 (Not as a service) and suddenly BI Tools is not restarting BI after it goes down. BI Tools show that BI has been found. However BI Tools still indicates that BI is running, even though Windows Task Manager shows that it has been killed. Any ideas on what is...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll look into the http commands. I do have the global schedules relative to sunrise/down, but do not know how to set the individual camera (overrides global) schedule relative to sunrise/down. Regrettably the fog/condensate covers the entire zones of both cameras :(

My next door neighbor's behavior has changed and large number of alerts are generated. Long story short: new family moved next door, runs dryer at night, cold weather causes a fog/condensate that triggers motion sensor. I've changed the two affected camera's individual schedules to ones with...

Thanks! My bad.

Here is what my first switch plugs into TP-Link 5 Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch | Desktop Ethernet Splitter | Ethernet Hub |, my BLue Iris computer also plugs into it.

Thanks! So your second poe switch just plugs into one of the first switch's regular ethernet ports? My first switch has 8 poe ports and 2 regular ethernet ports.

I have an unmanaged 8-port switch and need two more ports. Would there be any problems/secrets in adding a second unmanaged 8-port switch? The second switch would connect to the same Ethernet hub the first switch uses. (I found a few posts but I wanted to double check). TIA

Whow! I didn't realize the uI3 interface had that. As the great golfer Roberto De Vicenzo said after signing an incorrect scorecard that cost him the Master's tournament "What a stupid I am". Thanks!!!

If I'm working outside I'd like to enable the Inactive schedule via a smart phone without having to use my laptop to log in to BI's administrative interface. I suppose the more general question would be how to enable a particular schedule because you'd like to enable the proper one when you are...

Surprisingly enough I have an IP2M-841 that I'm currently using and was hoping to upgrade :), Perhaps treating it as disposable is the best bet?

I have a rat problem, there I said it. They are in my attic. I'm trying to get recommendations for a heat-tolerant wide-angle (PTZ preferable) , wifi camera to put in my attic. I'd put an older Foscam indoor camera up there and it lasted a couple of years and then died. I'm now looking for a...

Thanks a bunch. I'll probably do that, but let me get some additional info. Where would the transformer typically be? Inside the house or in some outside enclosure? I'm just trying to understand how something like this is usually done. BTW - I still want to look into the powerline adapter...
