    Good Grief, What have I done!

    I attempting to use a 12v power supply and direct to my pc now but now luck, it seems the problem is not power. Perhaps I sent power from the baluns to something that couldn't handle it. It had the green light inside after my mistake. Using the 12v supply, again it has the green light inside.

    Good Grief, What have I done!

    No not good, found a hard reset button inside but still not working. I want to cry, it was the easiest job ever then I wasted 2 hours diagnosing before realising. Now I've wasted 2 hours googling.

    Detached Woodland Workshed

    Thanks fenderman, I'll defo be checking those out when I get time. I have Dahua starlight at my house, I always have low light. I'd be amazed if any quality identify could be obtained in zero light. Therefore I'd just set up for LED lighting in that scenario.

    Detached Woodland Workshed

    Hi guys, I've had a decent result setting up my BI at home and mum's. Now a friend wants similar for his workshop man shed. But he lives in a mid-terrace house and his shed is near on 100m away, beyond the row of terraces and it's in a woodland with no lighting nearby. So would it be possible...

    Trigger Configure

    Problem Solved, On the clips panel to the right, I had the wrong setting. There is a small "Alerts" triangle that needs to be set and somehow wasn't. It was set to "All Clips" accidentally using the small triangle up at the top of the clips panel.

    Trigger Configure

    Funny thing is I'm getting the push notifications to my phone app when something crosses zone B which is just my entrance gate and even that doesn't show up as a clip event in the right hand panel? What is going on please help.

    Looking for some BI networking advice (with hardware implications)

    Thanks for the responses and info guys. 2 x 5231's paid for earlier + brackets & shipping from @EMPIRETECANDY with the foreign exchange paid, cost me £275.17. I was sorely tempted with higher MP cams as we will have outside lights too but these will defo come in somewhere.

    Looking for some BI networking advice (with hardware implications)

    Wait a minute.... The isolating cameras from the internet setup means that the BI app cannot be used to remotely view cameras? BI App viewing is essential for me. Remote desktop is far from perfect on the mobile phone. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Thanks very much for confirming it Frank. Yes a switch would do in the lounge (not a router), I was just trying to obtain another ethernet outlet without going under floor for my cable at wrong side of the room. That said, I've been re-reading the wiki notes all day today about LAN settings...

    Acti Camera

    Still waiting for my BI system so after a little more research I found the following. Acti has a link to 3rd party software. Using the link, I found Acti provides a link to show which cameras work on who's 3rd party software and my Acti-7411 results are shown in the picture. I cannot see Blue...

    Thanks BP, I'll try it. I'm currently constructing a BI optiplex. It'd be nice if I could salvage free additional cameras out of that old setup. They were great but went black n white too early. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
