Thanks FenderM I'll try to figure out how the Dahuas save the config, I was poking around one day and saved the configuration, it was a basic text file. I've got 16 of those. A tool based on Perl could work. The Foscams that I have don't seem to have a place to configure, but I didn't look too...

How about a different solution. Copy after the recording happened. This would depend on figuring out how to trigger an action on another computer or on the BI box. It's also kind of geeky but might work. I guess the issue is performing too many reads and writes might impact the BI's...

Static IP's from the factory also run the risk of "stepping" on a leased address. Factory DHCP with failover Static is the way to go. Ubiquiti does this. Something to consider for a toolbag: -CrossOver Cable An alternate to using proprietary tools = nmap. nmap is very useful for other...

From what I've read here it seems to be the case. I inherited the first box, the second one came with 16 GB. I took a look at the config files for the q-see cameras, I could automate a process to build files, but them would have to manually upload them. I was kind of hoping for something along...

The older system is a i7 3770 running at 3.4Ghz 24 GB of RAM. I believe that much RAM is not necessary. The new system is a i7 4790, 16 GB They seem similar on paper http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare_CPUs/Intel_CM8063701211600,Intel_CM8064601560113/...

@skywise I'm not an expert either :) I'm not so worried about the "false positives", what I mean is that disk space is cheap. So recording too much should not be a problem. The crappy DVRs that came with the cameras would always record. At least that's how I got them working. @fenderman thanks...

Hi, can I offload motion detection from Blue Iris to cameras? There seems to be an option, not sure if it works or how it works. If so what cameras can be used? I'm also curious about camera streams, I just noticed this on my Q-SEE cameras. I'm not sure I understand streams. My goal would be...

Hi BP, Thanks for the tip on the Dell and the Video Card info. It is appreciated. After posting I kept on digging and found the similar info. I got a good deal on a new one (not as good as the business outlet deal), i7 4790, 16GB, 1TB 7200 RPM. It was $799, and they threw in a free TV. Dell...

Hi, I've been working on a system that I inherited from somebody who was clueless. (Not to say that I'm not clueless, but much less so) :) He ripped put an Analog system and put in an IP system. The wiring and connections had been exposed to the elements. Corrosion in the cameras RJ-45 jacks...
