    How to watch NVR steam on an Android TV

    Tinycam pro 'might' appear in the locked down play store, if not then maybe try apk mirror BUT nowhere is 100% safe, use your own judgement is the safest tack

    New email issues with Gmail/ Dahua

    You may have to create an APP password for the access, Giggle changed the security on what they refer to as less secure access If this is the case, goto your giggle settings sorry google security and 2FA and add an app password

    How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

    My ? wasn't in relation to IP etc, I have no issues with that, it was more about when using BI, will the automated selection yield better results for camera operation than if you were to select the exact make and model from the drop down list, or to put it another way, does BI better support the...

    How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

    When installing cameras is it best to use the auto setup routine that looks for the onvif compatibility, or is it better to enter the actual unit details? I have 4 x Hikvision units and know the model numbers and specs Cheers
