My BI computer went completely off line in middle of night. Power off reboot didn't work (I have a remote controlled outlet for the PC). This morning I power cycled again watching monitor, and it booted into a system setup/diagnostic screen asking to set time. I ran the diagnostics and it was...

Even though I've disabled Windows updates through the group policies (which I just confirmed again), and I leave the BI Service running, I found on the monitor the typical setup screen(s) as if I had downloaded an update and rebooted. This isn't the first time either... I declined all the setup...

I've had multiple computer system shutdowns/freezes that past few days. Decided to look a bit more closely at the hard drive WD Purple 6TB. Can't find squat in the system error logs, it's the non-specific blue screen "hardware error", doesn't save a dump. Notwithstanding the WD claim of "up to...

Maybe reinventing the wheel, but I've been searching this site and online in general for a way to get notified if my BI computer goes down (without needing another computer/device on same network). Finally, found honeybadger.io that has a limited free account setup for monitoring. I created a...

Ordered 6 cams from Andy, shipped March 4, arrived today! USPS takes a week or more for a priority package from OH to NC... so China->US->my door in 4 days is outstanding. Now to table test... :)

Using rpisurv/raspipc with dual NIC BI setup, am I missing something? Maybe I missed a detail somewhere in all the threads, but if the cameras are on a LAN that only BI can see, how exactly to you stream RTSP directly from the cams to the RPi as I've seen suggested in various posts? Short of...

Hope that title was close enough... New member here, long time lurker. Lots of great information... I'm interested in options/recommendations/discussion for a simple video surveillance system with the following feature set. Intent is to set it up for a person to get *easy* access to either...
