NVR990, I am very much like you and to prefer to use a PC because of it's flexibility, also BI has many more features than a typical NVR and also supports many more cameras. Also I typically can find i7 OptiPlex systems at Dell's Outlet store for $500-600 which is a good price BUT a mini-tower...

I really like BI but i have found that it does not cost effectively scale up to larger systems especially when the customer wants 20 FPS rather than 10 FPS. The issue is the hardware cost a LTS NVR for a 32 camera system is $500-600 while a PC or server that can handle the load is $1000-$2000. I...

Hello Gang, I setup the GV-UNP2500 today and selected Make as Generic and Model RTSP H.264/MJPG/MPEG4 and then the find/inspect set the Path to /CH001.sdp and it was picked up and working fine. Below is a screen capture

Hello Gang, I have a need to use a Geovision UNP2500 Pin Hole camera and wondering if anyone has any experiance with this device and BI? I do not see it listed in the tested cameras so i am reaching out to the Collective. Owen k

I know my way around NVR systems and deploy Blue Iris systems for my clients. Since I have this knowledge I am on a committee in our home owners association to come up with a recommendation for an NVR / cameras solution for not technical folks. So am hoping some you can recommend an off the...

I have a golf ProShop that would like me to place a camera that has view of the first hole. This will have to be an IP cam because it is about 500' from the ProShop an will be connecting via NanoBeams. They do not want to record just view. So i need some type to web enabled TV or monitor does...

I did not want BI to start coping yesterdays clips to test Stored folder

Nayr, thanks for your input i am sure Ken is overwhelmed with emails. I do small business support and know what it is like to be interrupted all day long with emails

I had to change to the UNC name because i am running BI as a service From Ken If running as a service it needs to be able to access this drive … use you should the UNC name instead and then set the service to run under your own account instead of “LocalService”

I think it will go away if only one day of files are on the C: I will a manual move and see what occurs

The NAS is setup as a UNC path as Ken suggested because the i am writing direct to disk on the local C: drive. So this may be the issue?

Yes it stays the same

Hello Fenderman and thanks for responding I had looked over the Status Bar in the help file and based on what i have read i should be ok. The C: drive is 455 GB, the space on the drive is 264 GB, and the BI New folder is 125 GB and set not to exceed 200 GB or on day of clips. So something is...

I have been told by local wireless services providers to use dielectric grease on all outdoor network connections and it prevents or stops corrosion

I am working with Ken on file archiving issues and this i think is another ez question that i do not want to bother Ken with. I need help understanding why i am getting this alert on drive usage I have the New folder set at Limit Folder Size to 200GB and Clip Age to 1 day and current New...

Hello Gang and thanks for being here, I am new to the security camera world so on a steep learning curve. I have setup a system using BI and working through kinks with Ken but this is a question that it do not want to bother Ken with. I now have a month of recordings from Analog Cameras and 9...

Hello gang, I have a client of mine that I am helping spec an IP camera system for his storage yard and the camera contractor is claiming that running CAT6 cable 800 feet will work for 7 IP cameras and he does not need fiber. I know this is way out of spec for CAT6 but he is claiming that at 800...

Yep that is correct the camera license fee runs the cost up and you need a + unit. One way around this would be to get an i7 system running blue iris then the Synology NASs chained to get the storage space. The real issue with a system this large is the ongoing power cost to run. The i7 chip is...

fearthisinc, I use a Synology NAS for the NVR and they have some great tools for sizing the NAS at http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/nvr_selector Also many Synology NASs allow chaining to expand your storage needs
