Hello everyone, I'm new here. Been lurking and searching for a while. I jumped in huge!!!
20 Dahua cameras. Starlight Z,Z5,Z12.
I was running on an old PC. Everything worked fine. Built a nice new icore5, ssd, 4tb purple for storage. Everything worked fine till the update.
Here's the issue. BI sees the motion, records but creates a 00 second .bvr file. If I double click it all I get is the path to a JPEG. The bvr file exists, I can browse to in on the drive, right click and open with BI. Only 1 of the 9 currently running does this. The others are configured the same way. Shows 00 second bvr in the side panel but no video records. Tried manually hitting record. No go.
I thought I did something along the way so I went scorched Earth. Diskpart, cleaned drives, created partitions, reinstalled windows 10 pro. Installed BI. I manually added each camera again so I wouldn't pull in an old setting. It does the same thing.
I didn't know about the BI update helper until it was too late. I would like to try going back to the old version that worked but I didn't pay attention to the version. Lesson learned.
Anyone have any insight?
Would anyone like to share the last few BI installers so I can go back?
I emailed Ken. Unfortunately that was when I was testing and had things pointed to my c drive that was too small for my storage choices in BI.
I sent him an updated help request, haven't heard back.
Any help appreciated. When I get to a computer I will upload screenshots of my configuration. I could simply be missing something.
Thanks,
Roger
