Setup the first one manually. Then for the next ones, “add new” and choose to copy from the first one. Then change IP, UN, PW.

In demo mode BI does not enable all the features of a licensed version. That includes direct to disk and substreams, I believe.
Create a new camera, put in cam IP, username and password then let BI "Find/Inspect" .
This can be found BI's built-in 'Help' at "Cameras" ==>> "Video Settings".
Soooo very much can be found in BI's Help; just takes a little time.
yeah I think its working - just tedious adding cameras on a small keyboard I am using for this PC.
Also I noticed it recording motion but too slow. The first clip was perfect, next detected motion was about 10 seconds too late

Simple solution is use a real keyboard
You need to set the pre buffer recording time in the trigger tab of the camera configuration in BI. Additionally set the cutoff time in the trigger tab. I keep mine all set at 3 seconds pre and post trigger and get everything.

It's right there, behind the milk!
Go to BI 'Help', look at "CAMERAS" ==>> "ADDING A NEW CAMERA"
Right I know how to copy a NEW camera. I mean if I make a change to settings can I apply it to all the other cameras? Or can I apply settings from one camera to the others?
Weirdly I have a few cameras facing the road. I checked the substream settings, have them all the same but the resolution keeps changing from 16:9 to 4:3 - I prefer the 16:9.
Can't figure that part out. Also I changed the pre-recording to 3 seconds and the latest catch was still late

some cameras are locked on the screen,. Right click the one you want to move, Unclick Drag lock, then move the picture.
Use the BI help.

I moved my install to a "better' machine and its running like doggy doo. Cpu is pegged at 100%. It is odd because I exported the registry keys with the backup script and imported to the new machine.
Not sure why is dragging so badly...

If it were me, I'd reformat and start fresh and NOT import any settings at all. Build the system up from scratch. There may be corruption in that configuration.

What kind of processor and how much memory?
