Try this... First make two lines in an "L" shape like the axis of a graph along the longest outside edges of the area that you want to cover. Then you should be able to draw more lines freely within that extent (up to whatever the actual limit is ~10 or so I think). There's another better way...

Are your cams exposed to others in some way? If not, then not much need for complex passwords. Most all of the exploits just go around the passwords anyway. I don't recall ever seeing any way to change the fonts for BI specifically. I suppose you could change the default Windows fonts.

Remembered this post while looking at West Marine's site for other stuff... They happen to have some of the bumpers on 50%-off clearance if you have a store close. https://www.westmarine.com/search?q=dock%2520bumpers&prefn1=clearance&prefv1=Clearance

What you linked to can be directly buried fine. Better inside PVC or some other form of conduit if you can do it. In addition to better protecting it, may let you run another or replace cable easier later.

Not sure there are any licenses specific to cameras. There are for low-voltage generally and more specific requirements for alarm and fire systems. https://lowvoltagenation.com/2023/01/low-voltage-license-requirements-by-state/

That's a spec that you can't really rely on just looking at it on paper. I've seen some that go either way. A 5842 that I have I think that they list the close focus at ~6 feet but manually I could get it very good down to less than a foot. But then you still have the fairly short DOF so you...

Funny that it goes to the door like... "LET ME IN!!!"

Was going to say the same. That will largely hide it and the black makes a big difference.

Not sure what phone you have. Search for turn off photo geotagging and iPhone or Android and you'll find the steps. You can either turn it off for all photos or you can leave it on and manually delete the location data from selected photos as you want. Depends how you want it to work. Some...

Unless you have some specific reason otherwise, keep it simple - BI and database on C: (which should be your fastest drive), stored video and images on your storage drive. No need to split things up across partitions. Doesn't really buy you much of anything. If you had two physical storage...

Any important cams should be running continuous in some form. At least using substreams. If not, at some point you'll wish that you had more of what preceded/came after some event, things that happen out of range of your primary interest/triggers, views from other cams that wouldn't be...

Yeah, I looked a little more last night and tried deleting various files and seeing the effect and that's what I ended up thinking. I didn't try deleting that file (for obvious reasons), but you can delete pretty much any others associated with that cam/clip (.bvr, .dat for that cam, etc.) and...

Also should have said add more light if you can. That's really the best answer Will make it much easier to get there.

I could see a business maybe doing it if it allowed the police to view what's happening at their business. But it doesn't seem to be that. It says in case of a "nearby emergency." Seems to be intended for other sorts of events.

What's the reason for being located in the attic? Don't think I've ever seen one there.
