    Cable Installation Questions

    The problem with pull strings run with existing wire is it will likely cut into the existing wire when used to pull a new line. I’ve seen pull strings cut grooves through sweeping 90s even. Cable grease helps a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Life of CPU if 24/7 recording with Blue Iris

    I totally understand what you are saying. It was already in the pc when I got it and it’s not a big power hog. With my systems current draw per day the entire system with cams should cost me $50-$60 per year in electricity. That card probably consumes less then a dollar per month. And my core...

    Life of CPU if 24/7 recording with Blue Iris

    This thread just made me want to put my Kil-a-watt meter on mine. Just the pc and switch are running around 62-65 watts together, and the 21” monitor is only adding 12-13 watts with blue iris on the screen. I would think the number of cameras would also matter since the load of the switch will...

    Anyone use point to point wireless?

    Ok that makes sense. Basically someone would have to be in the wireless path and have a desire and ability to hack in to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone use point to point wireless?

    So will it be secure? Would there be a way to not only run his cameras at his house on my bi pc at my house as well as share my internet with him without having to worry about his cameras gaining access to the internet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New user needs help finding cameras

    I can handle that! Is there a list of initial settings when setting up new cameras for bi? I want to make sure I don’t screw up anything on the camera setup that would jeopardize my system or not mesh well with the bi software.

    New user needs help finding cameras

    Ok I’ve finally gotten into the camera and tooled around on it a little by changing the ip range on my pc. I’m guessing I need to change the ip of each camera in the camera itself? I have 2 network adapters on my pc. One will be for my dumb poe switch with cameras and the other for internet. Is...

    Hello all!

    BV-tech sw-802-din, this will get me started and then once I expand or want to do more I’ll get a nicer managed switch and use this at my dads house or something. I was wanting to network our houses together with a p2p system in future maybe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello all!

    I’ve read through it several times. Enough to put me in a good direction. Still a lot to soak in. So far I’ve ordered 2 cameras to start with, dahua 5231 and 2231. I have an optiplex being set up and an 8 port poe+ switch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
