    Disk not ready

    My blue iris works great, but once a day or a little less than that, I get a “disk not ready” error. I was going to try reformatting the disk, but I don’t know which is the offending disk. Is there somewhere I could see which hard drive that blue iris is complaining about? Thanks, Jeff

    32 channel NVR newbie question

    Hi there, I purchased a Hikvision 7732NI-I4/16P 32CH NVR for my workplace. I haven't received it yet, but from what I understand, this unit allows 32 channels, but only has 16 ports. Do I get a POE switch and connect one of the ports to it to expand it? I thought I could find my answer in a...
