    recommended Harddrive size for 4-5 IP cameras? (continous or not?)

    are you sure?? A 60fps video file is usually much bigger than a 30fps video file and a 15fps video file is smaller than a 30 fps video file

    still deciding what size of WD Purple to buy.. hesitating between 1TB and 2TB I am using this to calculate estimate... NVR Storage Calculator for Network IP Cameras By experience, you guys recommend what FPS? low FPS significantly reduces storage size

    recommendations for outdoor cameras; I have too many false alarms

    All my cameras are outdoor. The amount of false alarms I get is absolutely ridiculous... I get alarm notifications like every minute (when there are shadows, sunlight changes, etc...)..... As you can imagine, I just ignore them now... I have played with the motion detectors making them less...

    recommended Harddrive size for 4-5 IP cameras? (continous or not?)

    was going to use virtualisation actually I am already using BI on my main gaming pc .... I game on it .. gaming performance gets bad when BI is recording but recordings so far are ok. That is why I am offloading BI on a separate server

    Sometimes I can't view recorded clips in mobile android app

    Sometimes (quite often actually), I can't view recorded clips in the mobile android app. It does not play; empty blueiris app screen. I think that happens if BI is still recording (i.e. motion detection still occurring) Is it normal?

    is the field of vision on 2.8mm lens and 3.6mm the same on 720p cameras?

    is the field of vision on 2.8mm lens and 3.6mm the same on 720p cameras?

    Hi, I have ordered a 720p IP camera with 2.8mm on aliexpress but I received the 720p camera with 3.6mm instead. I contacted the seller and he replied me by saying FOV on 2.8mm is the same as 3.6mm on 720p camera. Is this true or he is lying to me??
