Hello all, a couple of weeks ago finally installed a 13 camera Dahua system I picked up from Andy with a BI server made from a spare Win 10 i7 box I had around. Most everything is great. The system is settled in at around 50% CPU load . The system is up and running, recording, etc. Now I am into the hard part of tweaking and have a few questions that I have not been able to determine the answers so asking the community.
1: Main viewing station is a 43" monitor using a Raspberry PI viewing the streams through the BI Webservice. It works but the quality of the video is low. Looking at it the quality is low on my computer monitor on the BI server as well. It is just as it is smaller, it is less noticeable. I found the setting in the webserver options that adjusts compression but that does not seem to make a difference. Where can I adjust what is used for streaming?
2: I have had a hard time getting BI to store more than 7 days. I have the database, store, and new all set to 21 days as I have plenty of storage but no matter what I am dropping after 7 days. Is there another setting someplace that has higher priority?
3: I have been playing with mail and sms texting when motion is detected. email is fine. Get the email and a still picture. On SMS I get the text but all of a sudden I lost the picture. I cannot figure out what I did to block it. I have not changed antivirus, firewall rules, etc. But obviously something has changed. Any suggestions where to look.
Thanks for any suggestions. If needed to answer any of the above, I am running:
Qty 3 - IPC-HDW5831R-ZE
Qty 2 - IPC-HDBW4231F-AS

Thanks for any suggestions.
