    BI Feature Requests anywhere ?

    nailed it BP - thanks for that response - I'll stop thinking I missed it now (even though the Help file eludes to it) I don't think it is beyond Ken's ability since ASP does it easily. More likely it is just not high on his priority list. [[ just thought he might want to be better than them...

    BI Feature Requests anywhere ?

    page 38 discusses PTZ control and also has a screenshot of a menu. Page 39 says to choose "Select PTZ w/mouse cursor" to do exactly what I am asking about and also says this only works in full screen or solo cam mode. However, my very current BI has altered the menu and "Select PTZ w/mouse...

    BI Feature Requests anywhere ?

    Being a huge fan of PTZ cams, there is one feature missing that would improve it for all PTZ users. I cannot find the feature of being able to point and click on a part of the monitor and have the camera move to that location. Because of this item alone - I am forced to also use Surveillance Pro...

    Burglars run after getting fright on their life

    Same here, I installed some before setting up cameras and find the lights to be an interference with the cams now. Most of the time the lights don't even make the raccoons or possums flinch. Once in a while a cat might notice and freeze but that's about it. I find them useful at the neighbors...

    Amcrest IP4M-1053E

    I have no idea so I will just toss this out as it's the first thing that hits me. Is it possible that the camera is set to operate at 50mhz instead of the normal 60mhz we use in the U.S. ? With that pixelation the cam also looks like it is zoomed past the 12x optical and into the 16x digital...

    Burglars run after getting fright on their life

    Amazing they didn't even flinch when the light went on. I'd have preferred to hear a 12ga. rack and then some profound statement by Samuel Jackson though. :cool:

    Green number by camera name

    yes, all the cams are still on Profile 1 and the ones showing the Green 1 are the only ones I have used the Global Override. Okay, This makes sense and apparently I have a lot more tinkering to do as I have not mastered Profiles and schedules yet. Thank you.

    Green number by camera name

    I do have a color set but prefer to just put the cam name there - that one is an Amcrest white 853 model on an IP address ending in 131

    Green number by camera name

    hmm, yes I did do that recently also, so it wasn't an update and only on the 3 cams with that # - okay. Can you tell me what the #1 means then as I have several items that use the global override. Like why isn't there a #2 ? :-)

    Green number by camera name

    Very Top Left right click on your view and half way down the menu "Show Camera Names" turns on that title bar. I keep mine on and suddenly after a recent update this Green #1 starts showing up.

    Green number by camera name

    I've been out for a bit and after an update I see a Green number in the title bar by my camera name and can't find what that means. Looked in the most recent help file ("What's New") and tried the feeble search engine here AND using site: blah blah. It's on 3 of my 5 currently connected cams and...

    Homeland Security watches what you buy online.

    I had always heard that the grocery store was really into this. They don't give out shopping rewards for YOUR benefit - they do it to build that database. I installed a VPN for the first time a few days back and sure enough, Kroger.com has blocked any of the new assigned ISP #'s. A few other...

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Line #6 of Post #1 - I went and talked to the neighbor. :) That thought crossed my mind too so I had to go ask them if they set something out to be picked up. I'm no "cooler Karen" LOL I gave him information and a CD to do with as they pleased.

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Exactly, and the cam on the far side of the truck has zones on the neighbors vehicles to move the PTZ that way if it detects motion over there (they had a break in before I bought my stuff) and I set a zone near my front door to swing the PTZ there also. So, yes, I have 3 different cams that do...
