    Not Getting Continuous Recorded Events

    I don't think I'd have a clue on adjusting motion settings since I didn't even have a Sub Stream setup. Lol! Ok I'll change the Sub Stream bitrate to 2048... thanks! Edit: So it'll only let me go up to 1792?

    Not Getting Continuous Recorded Events

    Thanks that worked you educated me today! I don't think it's my imagination but after enabling the sub stream the live feeds are not as sharp and the camera are not as proportioned is this the new normal? What do you think of the Main & Sub Stream settings on my camera I tried to follow the...

    Not Getting Continuous Recorded Events

    Thanks I'll try CONTINUOUS + TRIGGERED I had just been looking over the wiki Sub Stream Guide. When I select Default on Sub my Main Default settings disappear the guide seems to show both areas to the right filled in?

    Not Getting Continuous Recorded Events

    Ok guess I've always had it set to When Triggered. It does sound like it would use a lot of computer resources on CONTINUOUS though I'm not happy the way it works now. So which do you recommend CONTINUOUS or CONTINUOUS + TRIGGERED?

    Not Getting Continuous Recorded Events

    I'm using BI 5 with a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z and as my video shows I'm not getting a continuous recorded event.... my event starts, skips, and start again. Could someone could take a look at my settings and see what I need to change? Thanks! Mike

    Basic Indoor camera

    Thanks I'm a little surprised that since the IP2M-841B's have been out for so many years there's not a newer updated model to replace it... especially since you seem to indicate the 841 is superior to the IP4M-1041B.

    Basic Indoor camera

    So if I understand correctly the IP2M-841 is Amcrest's best model in or near it's price range in a counter IP security camera that works with BI? Is the IP2M-841Looney linked to the V3 version or are all they all 3V now??

    BI App Not Finding Server

    Yes it does work on my home WiFi network. How do I check to see if Windows might have changed my home network connection in the BI server to "Public"? Edit: So I called ISP tech support and I had recently upgraded upgraded to a higher speed which required them updating me to a newer more...

    BI App Not Finding Server

    So I’m not too knowledgeable with this stuff but I just turned off my WiFi network at home and tried to connect via cellular and it won’t connect says to check server address just like it was doing when I was trying to connect with my wife’s phone via nursing home’s WiFi network. My ISP has...

    BI App Not Finding Server

    I have the BI app on all my WiFi iPads (2), iPhone, and wife’s iPad. My wife is in a nursing home and for some reason when she opens the app to view our cameras it’s been saying check the server or whatever it says. I thought it was just some setting in her app but today while there I couldn’t...

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    Ok I thought it required more resources to use both a mainstream & substream guess I had it wrong. So I need to have substream enabled in the cam's online Settings but do I leave it at the default settings? Not seeing where looney2ns said to enable in BI?

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    So I picked up a IPC-T5442T-ZE but didn't have time to mess with it until now. Looking at it's online settings for Video > Main Stream what settings do you guys recommend? I'm using BI to handle all cams so in Camera settings > Video > Configure > Make I've been using Generic/ONVIF... is there...

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    Ok thanks I'll probably go the 5442 VF as soon as I get my stimulus check I appreciate all the advice.

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    So we can all agree the 5442 fixed ASE has the best low light performance vs the 5442 VF... but would you consider both cams equals for daytime viewing? How about on cloudy days?

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    Thanks for the replies I’m used to VF’s since I have (2) HDW5231R-ZE’s and a 3241T-ZAS surrounding my house but I do find I rarely use the zoom. I’m just looking to fill in some coverage in the front down the street. Leaning toward trying a 5442 3.6 AS but what’s the difference between the AS &...

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    Do you think it's worth spending a little more for this cam over the fixed IPC-T5442TM-AS?

    Ok Thank You!

    Maybe Another Cam

    Thanks I don't really understand all the specs but you're saying the IPC-T5442TM-AS is still better than the cams I have and you can see the difference on pics. Am I understanding you correctly?

    Maybe Another Cam

    Thanks Andy a little surprised a two year old camera like the IPC-T5442TM-AS is better than the newer Loryta IPC-T3241T-ZAS. I've never had any cams that weren't Vari-Focal... but on the other hand I rarely use that function so willing to try something new and maybe even the 3.6MM option.

    Maybe Another Cam

    I have two Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z cams and a Loryta IPC-T3241T-ZAS cam these pretty much cover the outside of my house except for one area. If I wanted to add another cam is there something a little better than what I'm using without spending a lot more money?

    Review-OEM IPC-T3241-ZAS 2mp AI Lite series Varifocal

    Thanks nice to know that is the expected picture for that camera. It goes in and out of focus during daylight hours not sure what it does at night... I can’t tell you how often it happens during the day just that it does.

    Review-OEM IPC-T3241-ZAS 2mp AI Lite series Varifocal

    I'm hoping someone can help me figure out if I have a wrong setting, possibly a bad camera, or I'm just just expecting too much. I recently ordered a 3241's to replace one of my 5231's which quit working after 3 years and I've not been entirely happy with it. It doesn't seem to stay in focus all...

    Sell Custom Lengths of Cat 6?

    The length for a bulk spool really doesn’t matter to me since it seems most start at 250 ft on up... heck as long as it’s 150 or more I would be happy.

    Sell Custom Lengths of Cat 6?

    Yes I think my Dahua's came with rubber boots to protect against moisture. Can you guys link me to both a CAT5e & CAT6 outdoor rated bulk cable for no more than $50 or $60 that would work? Does I understand correctly that an outdoor shielded cable is really not needed and a shielded cable is...

    Sell Custom Lengths of Cat 6?

    So is there any reason why this Monoprice Cat5e Ethernet Bulk Cable - Solid, 350MHz, UTP, CMR, Riser Rated, Pure Bare Copper Wire, 24AWG, 250ft, Black wouldn’t work for outside use and specifically for my needs? Or should I use CAT5e or CAT6 cable that’s outdoor rated?

    Sell Custom Lengths of Cat 6?

    Yeah looks similar to what I already have the cable seems fine but they use the cheapest light plastic connectors was kind of wanting to get away from that but maybe have no other choice. That stuff is just so stiff and unflexible too don’t know if it has more to do with CAT6 or it being...
