Are you sure it's doing nothing? Just did the same procedure on mine to see if anything has changed and there is nothing in the input slot but it converts them. Check the directory you have for output and see if they are there. It doesn't note that it's doing it, it's done in the background and...

It looks the same. I think mine was 2 mp when I bought it. I have it mounted on the ceiling. It comes with a template for mounting. Keep in mind, unless you are going wired with POE, you will have to run the power supply cord to it and those cords are usually not very long. Also, be cautious...

I have this camera installed and it has worked flawlessly from day one with BI (3 to 4). I can't speak to the wireless performance as I have it wired. The link is to the Amazon page ($100.00) but you could search for it on E-Bay. Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW 3MP Indoor IR Wifi Cube Camera 2.8mm

Some of you may know of this already, but I found it the other day and thought I'd pass it along. Apparently Adobe has made all of their "Creative Suite 2" programs available for free. They warn that it has problems running on W10 but I've had no problems at all with Photoshop CS2. For cropping...

I have an R2 and the arrows are showing on mine. Couple of things to check; 1) Make sure the mouse is all the way to the side or corner. 2) In the PTZ/Control Settings make sure "Enable PTZ UI" and "PTZ w/mouse cursor" are checked.

I was having the same problem with AT&T and MMS. I found that when I switched mail accounts it solved the problem. I was using my Spectrum mail account and switched to my Outlook account and it seems to be working again. I'm not sure why the Spectrum account wasn't relaying the MMS. I now get...

Here are my settings for my C920. It's attached to the PC that's running BI4. BI4 is the latest updates. It only seems to want to stream at 5 fps no matter what I set the max rate. It's OK for my purposes though as it's not one of my primary feeds, just one I can pull up once in a while to see...

I have my cameras set to text alert me when there is motion and it seems to work fine except sometimes I receive the texts late. Example: Motion was detected on one of the cameras at 03:00A today according to the overlay on the picture that was sent with the text. I received the text at 05:45P...

I got a hit that this thread was active and wanted to report that since my last post in 2017 I have been unable to get my Logitech C920 to work in BI4. It not only doesn't work but crashes BI4 when I try to add it. It wasn't a priority for me so I let BI know about it and gave them the...

I did a search and couldn't come up with anything. Does anyone know of a good (open source hopefully) program that can monitor my BI folders and make a copy of any new files to a network drive? Or, what is your experience with different cloud services that essentially do the same thing?

For what it's worth, I sent an email to the developer with a future suggestion to make the window for applying masks larger with higher resolution so more accuracy could be obtained in applying the masks. I noted that I am not sure how much the masking is tied in to the resolution of the cameras...

Was just curious as to how high your metal pole will be. I would hate to see it act as a lightning rod and fry your whole system. Something to consider.

I thought I'd go ahead and post these. In person it was pretty dramatic. It's a really odd feeling to look up and see a big black disc where the sun should be. The temperature drops dramatically and the cicadas start up and the birds get active. These frame grabs are from a Dahua 3MP camera I...

Here's my settings. It's not a starlight but maybe it will help...

bp2008, thanks for the suggestion. I've played around with the event settings some and I can preset them for the following schedule that I'll use and then just enable the event recording tomorrow. I set the cameras that I want to record, to record starting 45 minutes on either side of totality...

Nice review and comparison and brilliant mounting setup! You could even drill holes and run screws through the elbow into the PVC to lock in direction if you don't want to glue them. I think these TP-Link units are nice for the average do it yourself consumer, especially considering the price. I...

I am in the path of totality for tomorrow's eclipse and I want to set my cameras to record from inception to totality to end. Don't worry, I won't be pointing them at the sun. :) Is there any other way to do it other than setting an event for each camera for the specific time period, say for a...

Thought I'd throw my 2cents in here. I have two of these operating between my house and workshop (About 140 feet). TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz 300Mbps 9dBi High Power Outdoor CPE/Access Point, 2.4GHz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, dual-polarized 9dBi directional antenna, Passive POE (CPE210) The...

Boy do I feel like a dummy. The culprit was my cel phone. My AP was assigning it the IP address I was seeing on the logins and the BI Companion app for Windows Phone was updating the tile every so often. When I was testing it I changed the IP address range for the DHCP in the AP and it next...

Thanks for the input, but I don't think that's it. I have a high speed bridge between my house and the shop that I use to survey any other AP/Routers in the area (fairly rural area) and the only two that come up have such a weak signal that I don't think they could even connect successfully to...

Here's the settings I have for my Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW: Audio Encoding: G.711ulaw Audio Input: MicIn Input Volume: 100 Environmental Noise Filter: Off It's not the greatest microphone in the world but the sound comes through pretty clearly. In BI for that camera make sure you have Enable...

I've been getting seeming random logons from an IP address that is close to the ones I use on my home network. It logs in as me and only stays for a minute or so at the most before logging out. I use static IP's and IP MAC binding for all of my hard wired network in my router and it doesn't...

Fenderman, I have a TP-Link router that has the following settings, which I think accomplish the same thing as DoS protection: Enable ICMP-FLOOD Attack Filtering ICMP-FLOOD Packets Threshold (5 ~ 3600): Packets/s Enable UDP-FLOOD Filtering UDP-FLOOD Packets Threshold (5 ~ 3600): Packets/s...

Just a thought, but maybe try a driver that is known to work?

Try Googling 13.80.853.0 That's the Logitech driver I am using. You can get it from any of the "Driver " sites that come up. It's an old driver (2012) for a lower level camera but it's what installed when I got my C920. I don't even remember where I got it from, maybe from another Logitech...

Go to the No-IP web site at this address and download the Dynamic DNS Update Client (DUC) for Windows. Once installed, you sign in to your No-IP account in it, and it will monitor and automatically update your information at No-IP to your correct external IP address. So you can just use your...

I have been having the same difficulty using No-IP but with the Windows Phone app. I haven't tried the workaround of actually using the IP address and port to my WAN connection and I haven't mentioned it on here because so few people use that app and Ken doesn't have any input into it. It would...

A couple of things to try. 1) When you go the Video portion of the camera properties and click on "Advanced" and then click on "Driver/Source" does it bring up the Logitech camera properties page, the one that is installed from Logitech? It should. Also go to the web site and make sure you have...

Finally figured it out so I thought I would post the solution in case anyone else ran into the same problem. It was the "H.264 HW decode" setting. Apparently, although the R2 camera is H.264, this current iteration of BI4 does not play well with it when utilizing the Intel HW. With it set to...

I recently moved my BI4 to another machine and have run into a problem. Situation: Exported settings on previous machine to new one. I have BI set to save to machine it is now on, call it the Server, on a RAID drive. This is the same setup I had on the other computer, but its own RAID drive. All...
