    Dahua NVR -- where to set pre-recording seconds for IVS rule

    I'm not able to answer because I record full time. I'm such a BI non-expert that I don't even know if BI lets you not record full time. With the NVR I'm a bit mixed up. I thought if you're not recording full time, the pre-record buffer DOES work. Dahua made an early decision to use the Linux...

    Dahua NVR -- where to set pre-recording seconds for IVS rule

    A not very helpful response I realize, this is one thing that works correctly in BI. I'm not trying to sell BI because there are some things that work better with the NVR. When you pick one, you're blessed with it's particular good features, and stuck with its particular shortcomings.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Today's version is 5 nurses, no cancer. I'm more and more convinced that 90+% of what we read in the "news" media and social media is plain old excrement. 5 nurses who work on the same floor at Massachusetts hospital have brain tumors

    Anyone created a custom model to identify coyotes?

    I have foxes and coyotes coming through on a fairly regular basis. At least half of the time, neither my wife or I can decide which one we're looking at. I'd be really, really impressed if a machine could differentiate between fox, coyote, wolf, and some dog breeds with good accuracy.

    Funny / Satire

    Between when my cancer was discovered and the gene test results came back it was assumed I'd be going on chemo and I came within a week of having the port installed. It frankly scared me, mainly because of the part where a tube is inserted into the jugular. I was extremely relieved to find out...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    This claim has been going around on social media for a few days. I'm not meaning to make light of it, but it looks like it could be another one of those phony and/or exaggerated stories. Remember how the phony story about hospitals overloaded with ivermectin overdoses came and went? Another...

    I'm thinking that sales and use taxes are a non-issue when discussing tariffs because they apply to both USA and imported items.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I think dual citizens should not be allowed in federal elected positions. They by definition have a split loyalty, and if they want to be a leader of the USA, they should give up the other citizenships. If they're not willing to, they are copromised, not fully loyal to the country they claim...

    Using ethernet splitter for two cameras

    Interesting! I have assumed that each output could drive 15 watts. In common carelessness, another picture on the same page says 10w + 8w. I thought Andy's spec for what I assume is the identical device would add clarity, but it doesn't.

    He may be right that America is headed toward a dictatorship, but is he too dumb to realize Canada is further along? Oh, Yale University professor. That explains it. I imagine he took the job for more money and/or he's more comfortable with Canada's already established dictatorship, and saw...

    Need help starting AI

    In UI3, the clip thumbnail will say "RuleEngine/LineCrossing" if a camera tripwire caused the event. You're hitting on one of the big disadvantages of using BI over an NVR, in that the NVR real-time display and playback shows the trip lines, and indicates when they're triggered. Many years...

    I can't understand why nobody wants to find out HOW or WHY this happened. The left wants you to think Hegseth personally added the press traitor to the distribution list. The right wants you to think it was just harmless small talk. If Hegseth actually did or ordered this, then I'd agree...

    I want to see the wildlife in the garden at night, looking for some half decent cameras and maybe a NVR .... already made some bad choices.

    You'll find that this forum very heavily leans toward Dahua cameras from Empire Tech. Among them, for your purposes, the short list of cameras is the 541 S3 and 581 S3 series, with Empire Tech's firmware version that allows the camera AI to detect animals. 541 will give you better low light...

    Using ethernet splitter for two cameras

    BI doesn't care about the ports in that way. All that matters is that each camera has its own IP address, and that it's reachable on the network. The Loryta device is a poe-powered 2-port POE switch. The only issue should be if the port powering the Loryta device delivers enough power to power...

    EU follies

    I should have put that in my own reply. Health insurance costs were at least doubled by obamacare, and deductibles skyrocketed by several multiples. Did that extra money go to medical care for low income people? No, most of it went into the money laundering system to enrich the insurers and...

    I'm commenting on a few things from this post below.

Didn't USA+NATO first break an agreement about limiting NATO expansion to the east? I'm...

    IPC-Color4K-X no connection after IP change

    If all else fails, you can see if ConfigTool finds them. If not, a reset might be the best way to start over. When you use ConfigTool to change an IP address, it warns if the address is already in use. Yes, there is a reason I know about that.
