Thanks for all the info on this thread. I finally got this working after a few hours struggle. The main trick that I missed was that the BI server ip that I had to set as the NTP server (on dahua cam settings) was the IP as seen from the cameras (they are on a subnet) and NOT the IP as seen from...

This is awesome! works really well thanks.

Thanks for your detailed instructions here. I've temporarily (until I can get an extended hdmi cable) enabled wireless stream via roku via the demo version of this app. Works well. Thanks again

The what? There is a test for this that you can clips through? Gonna go find and play with that right now thanks

There are excellent videos here on the Subject. I've watched them a number of times and every time I notice something new as I learn the software.

It's taken me over a year and a half to make the move from an analogue dahua NVR to an BI powered IP Cam setup and I feel so empowered! - Today TNT will deliver the next 4 (8 in total - and i already have my eye on another 2) cameras from Andy. @EMPIRETECANDY Once installed I will then shut off...

Awesome. Thanks for the response and clarification. I'm gonna order one of those caddies and give it a go.

Hi... So based on this and the above-mentioned posts, I can effectively have both the 256gb ssd my dell optiplex 9020 SFF came with and the extra 3.5" wd purple that I bought? - All I would have to do is get a y-splitter power cable like this and then get a 9.5mm sata caddy like this to hold the...

Really? - Ok, I'll search more. Thanks. Everything I found online thus far stated 2 x 2.5" HDD as a max with a special caddy and y-splitter for power. Nope, Definitely not paranoid. In South Africa they will take the PC if they find it. - Unfortunately it's not just small, easy to carry...

Thanks... this gives me something else to look into. I'll check my router settings/options etc. and see what I can do around this. - One thing I do know is that I can't run DD-WRT etc on my particular router which limits me quite a bit.

Thanks for this post. I'm a moron... Somewhere in the excitement of ordering my refurb dell 9020 for BI, extra ram, wd purple 4tb etc etc - I did not check to see if I can fit an additional 3.5" HDD in the SFF box. - It seems I can't! - Dammit! - so now I have an awesome BI machine with only...

For now... yes. - Until I learn a whole lot more about how to connect it safely ;-) - the more I read here... the less I seem know!

My PoE switch is unmanaged. So for now I'll keep BI disconnected like so from the router until I add another NIC.

Well... from what I've read on here... the camera's should not have direct "Access" to the internet. So BI server should be between the camera's and the internet connection right?

fantastic. thanks all. I'll give v5 a go. refurb optiplex arrives tomorrow! so hyped!
