    Is there a way to preserve a day or a set of days of recordings from being "pruned"

    How do you change the size of the BVR file. I think mine are the default and they are about 4Gb each. If I copy off theBVR files can I just play them later with BI? Thanks, Dan

    Is there a way to preserve a day or a set of days of recordings from being "pruned"

    Thank you - will this take just the clips or the entire video between that time period? I need the entire video between time A and time B. My neighbor has accused a kid of stealing something from her yard, the video proves otherwise, but she is the type that will make accusations for years...

    Is there a way to preserve a day or a set of days of recordings from being "pruned"

    Thanks for this information. Is there a way to backup an entire time span irrespective of clips/events. I basically want to copy off a 6 hour interval on multiple cameras and archive it.

    Is there a way to preserve a day or a set of days of recordings from being "pruned"

    I would like to "preserve" or lock a set of days from being deleted or pruned from recordings. I know I can export recordings, but multiple cameras over multiple days seems like a lot of work. I would like to either lock them from being deleted or pruned or export en-mass the recordings from...

    How to ideally seal a cable hole in a 5" PVC camera mounting box?

    I do it a little different and it was inspired from somebody here: I drill through the mounting bracket and insert one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083K57N4N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1 You can pass a ethernet cable through it and then terminate the cable...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I should say it is in the same spot in the frame. When I zoom in it gets more pronounced.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I have mounted my camera and I have noticed artifacts in the picture - three black specs. They stay in the same place in frame when moving around (PT) and are the same size when I zoom in and out (Z). So does not look to be on the outside of the camera lens. Is this a sensor issue or dust...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Ok I just got my camera setup and still trying to come to terms with the new UI. Can somebody please help me with the auto tracking feature. Where is it in the UI? I don't have a spotter camera. I just want the camera to track people or objects. I have an ocean view does anybody know if I...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE picture issues

    Is the ipc-t5442t-ze still a good camera? Is there something similar that is better at the current moment. Was thinking about the Mini PTZ SD4A425DB-HNY so I can move around and see different views of the ocean, but that is a big step up. I was reading the review thread and I don't need night...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE picture issues

    I pulled the camera today and took it to my work bench, did a factory reset and connected to a POE injector and have the same issue. If it is a bad connection, then it is internal to the camera. Time to get a replacement I think.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE picture issues

    Thanks. That is directly from the Camera's UI and changing it to CBR didn't fix it. Both Main and Substreams are pixilated or green (main is below).

    IPC-T5442T-ZE picture issues

    The connector is inside the camera mounting bracket. My routine for connecting cables is to connect them with the provided weatherproof connector. Spray CorrosionX into the connection and then screw it all together inside the weatherproof connector. I then wrap the entire connector in self...

    That image is directly from logging into the camera itself.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE picture issues

    Yeah was thinking that too. I'll have to get the ladder out this weekend and climb up to check it. It has been fine for a while and just started doing it. Would a bad connection cause pixelization? I don't see any error counts in my switch
