It was a few years ago. We did get it resolved.

I've used their customer service twice. Once could have been better but the second time was great. YMMV.

I have a bunch of Roku set top boxes, and after seeing their software quality, I'd never buy anything from them related to security.

Only for critical and highly stable updates only. If that's beta testing, then I clearly need to dump BI.

That happened to me last week. I ended updating BI and that seems to have fixed it. That is concerning.

Interesting. Thanks for the summary. I keep meaning to reevaluate BI. It has so many issues anymore, e.g. motion detection randomly stops working, push notifications randomly stop working, etc. It emails tiny, blurry images for the first but not 2-4th images. The BI iOS app is pretty bad, too...

I'm certainly no expert, but that may be typical for these things. It looks like they cranked up the gain and did a lot of digital noise reduction (look at the fence pickets when you drive by.) Signs are readable, but many are illuminated and y'all have lots of streetlights. Seems decent to me...

Looks like fairly low contrast and it's hard to read a lot of signs. The resolution is listed as 3840x2160, but I agree that it doesn't actually look that. VLC says around 40,000 kb/s. I've seen worse, though.

I've been shopping for a camera and it is annoyingly difficult to find something that does what one wants.

It got better, but then got worse. Not sure what's going on.

Congratulations! Looking forward to picking up something new.

Some SFP ports are 1 GbE only, and almost no cameras are that fast. Obviously one needs to power the camera separately.

All those things I noted have to be done or it definitely won't work. I wasn't running the old version very long before upgrading. I upgraded my CPU and motherboard so I needed to reinstall everything (since I also upgraded the OS.) It was pretty easy to get this new version of DS working. I...
