    Looks like we all will need home generators.

    Because the generators can take a few minutes (some less), I keep a UPS on all the camera servers and POE switches. It prevents downtime and lessens surges.

    I'll gladly pay for the electricity for those cells.

    Have a proposed system build. Need advice please.

    My first attempt was trying to run BI on a Small Board Computer. It is a Seeed Odyssey. More of a tinkerer's computer with built in Arduino and such. Rather than deal with it's limitations, I just ordered an i7-4765t Lenovo M93p. I'm not limiting frame rate, still going direct to disk and my cpu...

    Have a proposed system build. Need advice please.

    Couldn't get the CPU usage in control with 4 cameras. Brought the cameras down to 720 and the frame rate to 5. Still had some spiking. Going to buy another copy of BI and load it on an I7 with 16gbram. It is a Lenovo Tiny.

    Have a proposed system build. Need advice please.

    I'm finally getting my crap together in one building and getting rid of a few rental garages. We are getting internet installed and will be installing four POE IP cameras. Three HNC328-MB One HNC324-MB Everything will be wired CAT6 (tomorrow). My plan is to hide all of the electronics in an old...

    Do you remember when you were clueless about cctv and started with BI?

    Been only dabbling with BI for a few years, never able to devote the time to do more than scratch the surface. But I keep three properties under surveillance pretty well. Without this forum to ask questions, I'd be lost.

    Pause button for the win!! Will look into 5.2.1.4 after I get some more cams up. Thank you all. Your assistance has been a huge relief.

    I have not been able to download from that link. I click on the numbers (5.x.x.x) but nothing happens. Was able to get back to 5.0.8.2. from my original installation. Nest cams are back . New versions (.2 and .3) would not allow me to access from our phones, but now can. All settings were...

    Wall-Mounted Viewing Station

    I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspian and the Chromium browser running UI3. The video output is connected to a spare input on my master bedroom television. I keep UI3 running all the time, so all I have to do is switch inputs to view cameras. There is a small wireless keyboard/mouse, so It...

    5.2.4 - March 31, 2020 - AMD/DirectX and D3D11 decoding now supported

    Updated to 5.2.4.2, now Nest cams and some Hikvision cams not working. I'm not too well versed in this. How do I revert back to whatever is stable? I am running BITools, if that helps. Any assistance appreciated. Thank, Al

    Keep a whole day or two from being overwritten in BI

    Last November 28th a neighbor's house was burglarized. I was fortunate to get some video that was turned over to the police. However, I would like to save the entire day on all cameras in case something more is required by the police. Is this possible to do in BI fairly easily?

    Let one of them douchebag taggers get hurt while vandalizing on your property while trying to make it look "pretty", and you will find out just how expensive it can be when you get sued by the little bastards. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    Unfortunately the pellet Rifle, while a fitting punishment/deterrent, will just get us in trouble. It is amazing how these thug miscreants can appear as cherubs when in front of a judge. "But they are just being boys!" Thugs. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    Hikvision Nomenclature PTZ or not PTZ

    Having trouble finding out id a DS-2CD2742FWD-IZS is PTZ or not. I know the lens is motorized from 2.8 to 12, but it doesn't say on the Hikvision site if it has PTZ or not. Am I missing something? And I know PTZ is for crap in a security situation, Just want one to play with in BI.

    Making a Hik 2432 portable with mini router and battery pack

    Oh no... That is way above my attention span/skill level. As long as it works to see the bikes in the trailer, that is all I need. Just a simple wireless to tablet, wired to camera connection was all I needed. The English version is on the way, so if there are issues, the Chinese version can be...

    By some magic of Shakespearian monkey typing, I was able to get the Chinese router to work. My wireless connection to the internet and the wired connection to the Mi router decided to play nice. Translate just "worked". Downloaded Tinycam Monitor pro to my phone and an old tablet. It all works...
