No time left, I need tor refund BlueIris and go back to ivms4200. 1. Will BI refund the purchase? We didn’t use a free trial...

    What's the best upgrade/replacement for iVMS-4200? (Paid or free)

    Title says it all, ivms is buggy as hell. Ok for free, but considering getting something better, it needs to be able to do what iVMS can do (except crash, ideally) :D

I have tried...

    Strange problem with Hikvision NVR

    I have my shiny new Hikvision DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/4S all plugged in. I connected 4 or 5 cameras when it first arrived, making all the ethernet cables myself with shielded solid copper Cat5E cables. It worked nicely, although I didn't get round to setting up any alerts or acusense stuff etc. I just...

    Reading number plates (not ANPR)

    I have a need for a couple of fixed (non PTZ) Hikvision PoE cameras for outside my gate. the hope is that when slowed down/paused, I can read the number plates. I had an old Annke 1080p coax system before, and that wasn't good enough to read plates. I am hoping to choose the right cameras for my...
