    New to CCTV - Can you give me an honest opinion on my plan please ?

    I 'think' that what happens today is that people miss the whole picture, most (myself included) are after a quick fix for an issue and we seek/use the internet for answers, often though, the answer is not what they want to hear as the decision to purchase has occured and they do not want to...

    New to CCTV - Can you give me an honest opinion on my plan please ?

    BI will run on your current setup, but NOT without issues, even as a stand alone, the processor and graphics are going to be pushed at times, but knowing PLEX when using it as a server, if it would ever try to do a transcode of either video or audio when you are trying to capture data, something...

    new router, now security cameras don't work

    I got 'called' to an install that I had been done by another party in the past, I resolved all the issues (mainly the use of wifi extenders for connection of poe units!!) by hard wiring them, took 2 days, all was quiet for over a year and then a msg that all the cameras had stopped working...

    Dahua NVR AI

    OK, that's where I am in the grey area, I don't have any storage in the cameras, mainly as the heat here in Australia can destroy them with ease, so my only storage is the NVR, so to what purpose am I logging into the camera, I know I can set options, but then how do I see the results...

    Dahua NVR AI

    Hi, just dealing with some new kit, both NVR and Cameras, here in Australia it is called WizSense It would appear that there are 'limitations' as to how many functions you can enable at once. unfortunately the docco I have is of little use, it says to enable the camera side AI to have more, but...

    How to watch NVR steam on an Android TV

    Tinycam pro 'might' appear in the locked down play store, if not then maybe try apk mirror BUT nowhere is 100% safe, use your own judgement is the safest tack

    Frustration 101 with weird outcome...

    OH they had been there as well, I didn't want the OP to be too long so I did not include all the other stupid bits that had been 'tried' before I was called, and as was expected the powerlines were connected to cheap cheap bloody cheap power banks, and that in itself was a major worry. But as...

    How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

    My ? wasn't in relation to IP etc, I have no issues with that, it was more about when using BI, will the automated selection yield better results for camera operation than if you were to select the exact make and model from the drop down list, or to put it another way, does BI better support the...

    How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

    When installing cameras is it best to use the auto setup routine that looks for the onvif compatibility, or is it better to enter the actual unit details? I have 4 x Hikvision units and know the model numbers and specs Cheers

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I've watched a few of his videos and some from the others mentioned, my feelings are that he has now identified himself as an 'influencer' and as such now believes his own rhetoric, I would imagine that he has obtained a cosy relationship with suppliers like Reolink and others, and the lure of...

    Browser for connecting to camera and view playback

    There are a few other posts on here that 'cover' similar issues, one for me was that Windows 10 had done something on an update that NOW rendered Pale Moon as not 100% I proved this with a new install and no updates and Pale Moon worked just fine, and as is with Windows, it also worked fine...
