    Advice needed regarding cpu upgrade

    Thanks for the reply. I have some hp 6300's and 8300's that I was planning on using for other projects. I'll probably try to put one together for BI instead and see how it looks.

    Missing several weeks of recordings

    Cameras not being detected after reinstall

    Thanks for the reply. I changed the camera model but there was no difference. Now, one of the cameras is working, but the other one still shows that green box with the exact same settings. Im thinking it may be an issue with the camera. I am going to create a new post to discuss it.
