    Not all cameras listed under Alerts

    I have 7 cameras currently setup, but not all of them have a folder under alerts. Looking at the Alerts folder (as set in Storage) I only see Garage & reolink. The reolink has nothing but *.dat files and Garage has a couple of *.dat files and a whole lot of JPEG's. Haven't been able to find...

    Adding new camera (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3) causes BI to flicker/unstable

    Type of Camera and placement (no eve)

    I'd like to place a camera in this area (towards the front of house forward of the door), but as you can see there is no eve to help protect the camera. Any ideas on what type of camera and how to best protect it? This camera would be watching the side gate/truck.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I want to add a camera outside that watches my driveway. The only issue I have is the way the house is built, there are no good placement options for the camera. I have a Dahua HDBW4631R-ZS and Junction box which makes it stick out pretty far. I have a CAT6 w/POE on the other side of the...
