Let this one rest for a bit but still on the hunt, would something like potentially help my limited storage issue? 4TB Seagate Backup Plus USB 3.0 External Hard Drive $80 + Free Shipping

Can one of the security system DVR's be used in a situation like this? The ones that usually come with the 4 or 8 camera kits. How would one use BI with something like that, if it's possible? Or is there another option if I'm just storing 1 or 2 days max at a time?

I believe this is it

Is there an external hd option?

I did expect extra expenses. It makes sense I would need these having no room in mine. Not sure what you meant up there in bold. I could use this opportunity to finally upgrade my computer into a nice gaming computer while Im at it...hmm.. thanks for taking the time in searching for those btw

Based off the above pics does it seem like there would be a space to fit and additional HD? I seriously cant tell when looking, I dont see any extra ports.

Is there a preferred sd card to use on these types of dash cams? Ive been looking at this model for a bit but cant decide if its that much better than the a118, thanks.

I feel like I'm finally narrowing down the products I'm going to use here's a list 1 Dahua cam (not sure which model yet) 1 long ethernet cable 1 POE 1 Tb seagate skyhawk HD to store recording(not even sure it fits my comp) BI software Is there something else Im going to need? I had a few...

Thanks, this is exactly what I think I might need. I'm not too sure it may "fit" in my computer, again I am illiterate when it comes to anything to do with opening it up so I included pics. I didnt see an area or port where I can connect something else. There did seem to be room to stack another...

I feel like my desktop might have enough room for an internal disk. Is there one that I should specifically look for?

While researching BI on YT I came across a video where someone was having a very similar issue. Im not sure what was done to resolve but I believe he had a resolution, wish I could link the vid but cant find it again, try searching "Blue Iris setup"

This sounds perfect, Im not as proficient with computers as I should be but I get most of this except for slowing down the bit rate. Time for youtube. I will take your advice, again, I need to check in on all those BI tutorials on YT. Something like getting an external memory drive and...

Thanks for all the replies guys Ill be back with more questions soon after researching.

I don't plan on holding on to more than 48 hrs a time just enough to be able to go back and check recordings if anything happens over night or any package is stolen while I'm at work. Id like to have it saved in an external location because I feel it may slow down my computer if I store hrs of...

Thanks, Im not sure I am able to pm him just yet as I'm a new memebr. I could be wrong and didnt find the right area for that but whats the discount like? I will be researching this company/camera after work. Solid, thanks!

Hello everyone Im new to this whole area and had a few questions regarding storage and BI. Im planning on setting up one camera and having it record continuously. I don't think my desktop would be the best place to store so much info (perhaps 24 or 48 hours at a time before I delete). Is there...

Thanks for that great example. Is there a preferred vendor for these cameras? I'm not sure amazon and ebay carry this model. The link for the Dahua shows great clarity at that distance but it's only a 2mp camera..I def need to do more research on camera optics. **seems like alibaba is the...

Thanks BP, my main goal is to record my front yard/doorway and hopefully pick up any plates that pull into my driveway or cars that drive by my house (75ft range) and also has NV. With my limited knowledge I leaned in towards a higher mp camera to get those clear far away shots. Should I stick...

Hello everyone I had a few general questions regarding a one camera setup I plan on purchasing soon. I'm looking at the 5mp GW dome outdoor camera (125ish on amazon), seems to have decent reviews on amazon and youtube. I want to keep this system very small and simple. Since I will only need to...

Hello everyone, I'm from southern Ca looking to learn about security systems as I plan on installing a small one camera outdoor system in my home.
