    Ok I assume BI advertises heavily here. We will just be called entitled brats by the professional staff here. Got it.

    Does BI ever go on sale? It kind of irks me that non-subscription cost more and there is no lifetime option

    How about just charge the same for 1 year reacurring or not and stop nickel and dimming people. How about that? It cost them nothing either way. People on the official BI forums complain how hard it is to cancel the subscription.

    Does BI ever go on sale? It kind of irks me that non-subscription cost more and there is no lifetime option

    Its not a subscription in the traditional sense but usually companies only charge after a major version upgrade, not for minor updates. Also, why are the prices like this? Extend support & maintenance ($34.95 /yr) 1 yr. extension of support & maintenance ($39.95 one time) So I have to pay...

    If you're thinking about buying a cheap Dell / HP off eBay, just a heads up...

    Yeah all my other cases have a HD cage that is attached with 1 main screw and then they can be slid out. I've never seen the whole cage tacked in like this.

    If you're thinking about buying a cheap Dell / HP off eBay, just a heads up...

    Yeah, the i5's all seem to only come in those mini form factor cases. I looked and looked and anything with a decent size case was more expensive. I guess I could have shucked the MoBo, but wasn't sure if those mini MoBO's even had a PCIe slot. The power supply seems to be holding up fine...

    If you're thinking about buying a cheap Dell / HP off eBay, just a heads up...

    I took the dive and bought a Dell precision tower 3620 for $130 delivered. This is a decent price. The specs are i7-6700, 16GB RAM, DVD-R, legit Activated Win10x64, some generic video card, etc. The basics. So, the reason for the heads-up is as follows. I have a lot of PC parts lying...

    Problems with LOREX Nocturnal 4K 16-Cam System after Power Surge

    Also, try and press the physical reset button on the affected cameras to factory reset them. Hold reset button 10 sec -> unplug PoE while still holding button wait 10 sec -> plug back in PoE keep holding for another 10 sec -> release button.

    What is the best bang for the buck with these cheap eBay Dell systems?

    I think I'm clear on what CPU and RAM I need. I'm wondering more about case logistics at this point. Weather a larger Nvida card (1080) can fit and if the power supply is movable or powerful enough with these smaller cases.

    What is the best bang for the buck with these cheap eBay Dell systems?

    I want a system that will handle 8 4K camera comfortably (not spiking the CPU) but I also want to put in a spare NVidia 1080 I have sitting around to offload A.I. Most of the good deals seem like they come in these small cases that won't even fit a beefy graphics card. I have a large...

    PC has two Network ports, better to connect NVR direct to PC and PC to internet?

    Do you mean you have like a semi-isolated system? What do you mean, one port for internet and one port for the cameras and NVR? Just a regular switch? Where does the PC fit in?

    PC has two Network ports, better to connect NVR direct to PC and PC to internet?

    Just wondering - What would be better bandwidth wise? I have a PC that has two network ports. Would it be better to passthrough the BlueIris PC straight to the NVR instead of a switch? Would that save any network overhead if the cameras are all directly connected to the NVR? So the two...

    Does CodeProjectAI require "Object Detection" set to on but DeepStack does not?

    Ahhh, ok! Slowly "getting it" lol Thank you!

    Does CodeProjectAI require "Object Detection" set to on but DeepStack does not?

    Slightly confused as I watch this video on how to set up AI in BlueIris, and he disables Object detection. He is using DeepStack, however, not CodeProjectAI. Are these tied together? When I uncheck object detection, nothing seems to get detected with CodeProjectAI....?

    Odd issue where app can connect remtoely on Cell but on home WiFi can't connect?

    Think I figured it out. By default, it was on 192.168.52.1. I change it to 192.168.1.52 and seems to be working now! Thank you for the suggestions!

    Odd issue where app can connect remtoely on Cell but on home WiFi can't connect?

    I can't figure this out. When I'm remote on cell, I can use the app to view my feed, etc. When my phone is connected to my internal WiFi network (the same one BI is on) I keep getting can't reach server error. If I view the BI on a browser, I can access the web interface locally too. It's...

    Is IVS tied to the grid based motion dection function?

    Hmm, I have a camera pointed in a high traffic area and since I've disabled MD (kept IVS on) my app is reporting back "No Record". So, I suspect my camera has IVS capabilities, but my NR900X does not have it. Even though it is showing the activate IVS zones on my main HDMI monitor...? Or, the...

    Ok thank you, will do! I assume SMD is sound motion detection?

    Is IVS tied to the grid based motion dection function?

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, this forum seems to mostly have brand specific sections. I'm on a Lorex system and I have the "basic" colored zones where you can draw a grid and set the sensitivity. I just got two new cameras that are IVS capable. They seem to detect PEDs much...

    Is this Amcrest ($140) and Lorex ($229) camera the same thing?

    I'm looking for a good 4K/30 color night vision dome camera. I have a Lorex setup (NR908x) NVR and 4K cameras. I currently have 4K 15fps cameras and am looking to upgrade to all 30fps. These cameras seem to be the exact same thing except the Amcrest does not explicitly state "color night...

    Can I improve my Lorex NR900X and cameras?

    Ok, interesting. Yeah unfortunately I don't see any new features. What is the reasoning behind this? Also what setting takes priority? If I set something up in the NVR but then go change a setting directly into the camera does the camera setting take priority or the NVR setting?

    Can I improve my Lorex NR900X and cameras?

    Yup, I'm in via web browser. Not sure where to look or how to see these hidden features...? This is before any flashing or after flashing to Dahua OEM firmare they will show?

    Can I improve my Lorex NR900X and cameras?

    I've been doing everything at the NVR level, I have not messed with the cameras on a per camera basis.

    Can I improve my Lorex NR900X and cameras?

    Thank you for the informative reply mat200! If I have identified the corresponding Dahua camera and NVR where do I begin with flashing? Is there a utility or do I flash my camera straight through the NVR? Will my Lorex camera just accept the Dahua firmware? Is there a way to backup my Lorex...
