    BI config questions

    GREAT, thank you so much for your time and help on this — it very much appreciated! If you can, I have one more question about the storage setup. Our goal is to keep our recordings as long as we can. We'll just be recording on motion. Does everything else look okay with these settings? The only...

    BI config questions

    I believe I got it, thanks for this! Now to have the cameras save to the correct drive, is that in the cammera settings within BI?

    BI config questions

    Thank you for your reply. For the Disk Defragmenter, I unchecked the "run as a schedule" box and this is what it shows now. I'm really not sure, but it looks like it turned it off for the SSD too - is this okay? Please note we just changed the name of our hard drives. I'm sorry, but I do...

    BI config questions

    It's been a minute since I set up a BI server. I've searched here on ipcamtalk, but still have the following questions: Question 1: Turn off the Disk Defragmenter recommendation from here: Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage Is the correct location within the server where I do that? And I...

    Dual NIC BI server question

    Thank you for this! And you are correct, I did not fully understand the setup. I believe I'm getting it now, as I have two cameras set up and on BI. My next question with this setup is with a point-to-point bridge. To get cameras to a building across the street, we'll be using NanoStations...

    Dual NIC BI server question

    Thank you for your response. Are you saying I should not see the cameras within my router? If the above is correct, does that mean I just assign a static IP through the camera?

    Dual NIC BI server question

    This is the first time for me running a dual NIC server. It's already set up as the ipcamtalk recommendation here: Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine My question is on the router side: is there anything in particular I need to configure within the router to ensure static IPs for the...

    34 inch monitor for BI server recommendations

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it make more financial sense to go with a dedicated monitor? Especially that we'll have room for it. I may have missed something, but I just checked, and TeamViewer is like $25 per month.

    34 inch monitor for BI server recommendations

    Thank you for your time with this input! Once more quick question if you can: what is needed to connect this monitor to a BI server so you can hear through the speakers what audio the cameras recorded?

    34 inch monitor for BI server recommendations

    Would also like it to have built in speakers for the cameras audio. The finished install will have 4, 5, and 8MP cameras. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

    Please confirm if I'm on the right track

    Rolled with y'alls input, connected the server directly to the switch.

    Please confirm if I'm on the right track

    Thank you for your time and info. And yes, we have the equipment for across the street. Just need to complete our server infrastructure build. Then we'll hang this and start on the other side.

    Please confirm if I'm on the right track

    Guessing we could?? But was thinking the route I mentioned above to use the patch panel and to keep most of the wiring behind the hardware for a clean look. Thank you for your idea!

    Please confirm if I'm on the right track

    Here's our new setup so far (see picture). This is a dual NIC BI server. The LAN will plug into the back of the server. With the second port (separated), I will run a cable to Keystone 1 (red line in picture). Then using a patch cable, connect Keystone 1 to port 1 of POE switch (yellow line in...

    Shielded cable help

    So, for our shielded runs, should we or should not terminate the cable on the camera side like this? Just wanted to clarify because one here said to terminate the cables the same way on both ends and someone else said not to. And thanks again to everyone for your input and help!

    Focal length?

    When trying to figure the focal length to ensure you get the correct fix lens camera, how is the height of the camera mounted factored in?

    Shielded cable help

    Appreciate you starting with the basics! So, yes, both ends of the runs will have shield RJ45s or Keystones. As @tangent mentioned, maybe the correct info I'm needing to learn is how do I terminate the foil and drain wire on each side of the run? For the Ubiquiti POE injector to antenna run...

    Shielded cable help

    I really wish I did not have to mess with shielded cables, but unfortunately, the area where I will be installing the cameras (and POE switch) has 13 electric motors the size of a passenger truck and 22 electric motors the size of bathtubs. Can someone please give me a somewhat easy way of...

    Question about shielded cables

    Good morning and hello! I'm fixing to complete a camera install in an industrial setting. About 85% of the cable runs will be in areas with high-voltage wiring and large electric motors, so I will purchase all shielded cables. My question is about the 15% runs where I will not need shielded...

    Would a boobie cam be the best in this situation?

    Thank you, everyone, for your time in leaving your feedback/suggestions. I was definitely thinking of a fisheye and 180deg camera, too. But please correct me if I'm wrong; the fisheye camera does not play well with BI and I would have to somehow mount the 180deg camera sideways to possibly get...
