    Quick question, we are selling our home

    And we have five cameras we bought from Andy... Is the proper thing to do is leave the IP addresses and passwords for each camera for the new buyers? Is there anything else you recommend we should do to help the new buyers out?

    The runs for the cameras will be in a warehouse where during business hours, the large doors will be open. The cables will not be in direct contact with rain or sunlight but will be exposed to humidity, heat, and cold... Do you feel we'll need any special-rated cable for this environment? Our...

    Little future proofing for a home build

    Hope this works out!! While installing our water line, we decided to add another trench for two, 1-inch PVC runs. The plan is to use these 1-inch PVC runs for ethernet so we can have IP cameras at the end of our driveway sometime in the future. Speaking of this, what ethernet cable would you...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Ok, I did not know how to complete Step 5 of TL1096's instructions to confirm if everything is working. But I do believe I figured it out with the previous screenshots I posted.

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Appreciate that, sir. I believe what's confusing me is that there is no "GMT-06:00" option within my Time Zone settings. I looked through the list twice; is it labeled as something else? The camera is a 5231R-ZE, running V2.800.0000015.0.R, Build Date: 2020-04-30 .

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Is NetTime and these steps still current? Also, is this still the preferred way to track times on the cameras? Sadly, (my own fault for not figuring this out yet) I still do not have times on my exported videos.

    I believe it's fixed. I deleted all the files from 2019, it was like 520 files. Maybe I didn't have BI set up to delete back then?

    Yes, sir, Blue Iris in the only thing on the V drive. The New folder is the only one that has anything saved within it... I'm pretty sure I have BI set up to delete after 21 days, BUT there are files in the New folder all the way back from 2019 :confused:
