Here's the deal: I have three phones, one Iphone and two androids. The Iphone and Android work with the phone app and using the ipctddns through this site. The two phones belong to a friend and I set them up for him a couple years ago. One phone is mine and I keep a copy of his server on my...

Is there a way to recover clips that have been recently deleted in Bi? Thanks in advance....

I have a friend that I installed Bi for and he's a long distance truck driver. When he gets home he sometimes has an overwhelming number of clips to delete for the time he's been on the road. Is there a way to delete them en masse, with a few keystrokes? Thanks Bob T.

I have two new Bi installs, one in my home and the other in a friends home. I had Bi4 installed for a few years before installing Bi5, my friend's installation is entirely new to him. Anyway, in my installation (as it was in Bi4) you can drag cameras simply by selecting the camera by clicking...

So, I set up a system for a friend. On three separate occasions I've have to change Port Numbers from 1080 to 1081 and now tonight, to 1082 else my friend cannot access BI 5 via his phone..... About his system: He's using a D-Link router (very old) supplied by T-Mobile whose Ip is set to...

I have a new DS-2CD2120F-1 that i attempted to setup in SADP and I successfully changed the IP address and checked the subnet mask and of course set a password. i assume this password is the camera password, YES/NO? The SADP tool says it's "ACTIVE"... Anyway, I setup the cam IP in BI5 along...

Yep, what it says in the title. This has me baffled. When I'm on wifi, regardless of where I am, it works fine. When I'm trying to connect remotely, via the cellular service, 'cannot connect to server' error.....I can connect to the internet via the cellular connection but not my own server? I...

Can the information (date time, etc) be removed showing a larger avatar and only the avatar? If not, can the avatar be made larger as well as the text size? As always, thanks Bob T.

Yes, I read at least 3/4 of the VPN primer and watched more than a dozen videos of youtube but am still struggling to "get" the big picture, so to speak. I've just upgraded from BI4, which I've had for a few years, to BI5 and just finished installing DDNS via .iptctddns.com........... So help...

Well, I just downloaded BI5 and when setting up my phone I filled in all the relevant stuff (I thought) and forwarded the port but I forgot to update the KEY in th app! Now I'm getting the message that I've exceeded the login attempts even though I corrected my error. What to do? Wait? How...

In my travels around this site I recall a couple days ago, or more, seeing an option or feature of BI to implement DDNS via a service provided by BI. Is there a thread or tutorial that can explain this and tell me how to use it? As always, thanks for the comments, Bob T.

My intuition tells me that something's amiss here but I thought I'd run it by you guys because you're smarter than I regarding this network stuff. Anyway, I've noticed for the past few months that there's a lot of buffering going on when I'm on Youtube. So I started playing around this morning...

So, I just bought a pc to run BI as a stand alone pc to get it off my primary laptop and came to the abrupt realization that Win 10 home has the RDP functionality stripped from it:angry:. This all but dashed my hopes of viewing BI remotely on my laptop as the stand-alone will be in a closet...

Hi there. Haven't posted in a while. I have a relative that dragged me into his "project" of installing 7 IP camera's on his exterior. I use BI but for him that's not an option. He's looking at the Hikvision 8 channel NVR sold on ebay. He plans on using 7 channels of 1080p cams. So I told him...

I have one license- How many PC's can I install to? I know I read someplace how many but can't find now. I currently have it installed on 2 PC's......One runs slow and make me wonder if it's not a legit installation. Bob T.

I just installed 3 new bullet IP cams, 960P, (generic) and installed them to BI. All's well EXCEPT in BI the aspect ratio appears to be 640x480 and the video is distorted (stretched top to bottom). The cam's display correctly in the setup browser (P2PID finder) in a wide screen format. Is this...

I have a couple of SRICAM's bullet outdoor types that I used to be able to access via the P2P app that used IE and active x controls. Needless to say this stuff hasn't been updated in a few years so it doesn't work anymore. I can't use the IE interface anymore and when I use Chrome I don't have...

So, I want to know how to prevent win10 upgrades from interrupting and shutting down my cam system as a result of an update? If I'm travelling I want my pc to be powered up 24/7 and not interrupted by win10 reboots. Yes, I do have it attached to a UPS. I know about the 'scheduled restart' option...

I'm new to this app and thus far pretty happy with the live feeds but, I'm not seeing any alerts and I'm not seeing any clips. I do get 'notifications' to the phone. My alert list is empty and shows nothing at all regardless of whether I get a 'notification' from any cam. Of course they do...

I need an app that will allow me to view my cam's remotely when on a road trip. I recall a couple years ago trying an app (can't recall the name of it) that 'sort of did the job' but had some issues when using anything other than when the phone was using my home wifi. The issue was, if I recall...

I have a question regarding the ethernet interface of these cameras. I have SRICAM and ESCAM (mix) and the cameras will setup and communicate fine if plugged directly into the router (Linksys) but if I make a 25 ft. or longer cable they will not work. Of course I've tried different cables and...
