    Archiving, is my understanding correct

    Hi All My local BI machine has a RAID1 SAS of 1TB, I have my NEW set for 30 days, 500GB. Am I right in saying the following will move clips over 30 days into the STORED folder and that after a further 60 days (making my clip 90 days old) they get deleted? So - Clips sit for 30 days on...

    Painting Dahua 5231R

    Thanks guy, I can see the dome on the 5231 has 4 large screws holding it together, I assume if I remove that then Ill be left with the housing only - no need to actual mask anything up Ive got some steel wool and paint thinner/cleaner to prep, no issues there.

    PTZ successor to this?

    Hi All I have one of these cameras - https://us.dahuasecurity.com/product/2mp-3x-ir-starlight-ptz/ It works quite well but its not as good as my 5231R in low light. Is there a successor to this camera or something which improves the low light performance? Thank you!

    Thanks! yep, works fine with Chrome. Thats OK, ill see if this works in OpenHab! If its not too heavy on the CPU using a low encoder profle , it will be a great solution!
