    BI5 configuration

    Of course I looked at them. There are lots of opinions on YouTube, and many self-proclaimed experts and real experts, and many self-serving presentations. I sort through them as best as I can. It's a big bonus to get references like those from experts like yourself so that I can be confident...

    That was excellent! I'm gonna go back over it a few times and make sure I got all this. Can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

    That was fun (the example shots). So is it caused by dropped frames or the iframe interval (the missing hand)? I would give this to the cops anyway. You know who he is. That last shot is a mess. It's like the shutter is really slow. The car seems to reinforce this. I don't see anything...

    I have some of those cheapo cameras, too. I test them by putting a few on the LAN and seeing how long they last and if I like using them. I really like the cheapo idea, but I need quality, too. The only reasons I use ReoLinks are (1) the cost, (2) the reviews, (3) the usability/stability...

    Hi Dan. I'm a computer consultant and do some camera work. I built the LANs and service them. Trust me, the LAN is never fast enough. It's never big enough. I started with a TokenRing at 10Mbps and ran out of bandwidth. Then the Star LAN at 10Mbps. Fast Ethernet was a gift. There were...

    I'll see if I can still find a Reolink night shot for you that I gave to the cops. They aren't perfect videos, but the cops seem to like them ok. I guess the perfect camera is the one that's available. Although, the cops seem to know who the bad guys are, already. Are you all using Dahua...

    Well..., Fast Ethernet is a decent standard (100Mbps), but faster is better. I want the top-end CyberTruck, too. If I had GB cameras, I'd probably put in a 2.5GB backbone, and any dropped frames I have would be a thing of the past. I might do that anyway. Thanks for the links, Looney2ns...

    You're right. Gigabit is pretty quick, and I'd like these cameras to be gigabit cameras, but that's a hard one. The LAN backbone is. There's a collection of other stuff on the LAN, and this LAN is actually about 60 cameras and 7 servers with a collection of other PCs and phones and printers...

    Thanks for that. I get it. The pixel size is important for low light levels. But in my world, I'm not unhappy with the ReoLink, it's night vision, or pixel density and size. It's similar to my real cameras. I use the big Fuji (102MP) when I can, but if my phone is what I have handy, I can...

    BI5 configuration

    Thanks for the insight. I tried to find the KEY in BI and the camera's webpage. I can't even find the Camera's Status page. Is this in Camera Settings? Sorry. I don't think I can set the Key frame interval in a RLC-410 or RLC-510/520. I haven't found the setting. I also have to agree that...

    Thanks for the links Sebastion. And especially the advice. I checked my SSD and it's at about 91 TBW. A good reason to just write to the HDD. So everything is going to the NEW folder which is mapped to the STORED folder on the data drive. I've also removed the JPG writes. I think someone...

    Thanks. Found it.

    BI5 configuration

    Thanks for the advice. In BI, when I change the "New" folder to point to my existing "Stored" folder ("D:\Stored") I get the notice "Folders must be discrete and not subfolders of one another." So I set the BI "Stored" folder to a bogus folder on the data drive named "Nuthin" and reset the New...

    Hi guys. I appreciate your time and assistance. I need some advice. I have a NVR with a 26 cameras. They are all Reolink 410s or 520s. All 5MP cameras. All using motion capture. The NVR is a Windows 10 PC with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM. I always use the main...

    Door Alarm Switch

    I have a Unitec 4MP IPC324ER3 with a digital alarm I/O pigtail connected to a magnetic reed switch. I'm trying to configure this in BI. Has anyone done this? I need the camera or BI to alert me when the door is opened. I'm just learning BI and this is my first exposure to this camera. Thanks.
