    Keyboard Shortcuts

    I"ve only seen a few folks post about useful keyboard shortcuts and thought it would be great if there were a common list. I have not made any myself yet and would like to learn how to do it but I think some may not be possible. For one - I want to have a shortcut to have the selected cam view...

    Amcrest Surveillance Pro 2.0 Beta (Windows)

    FYI, on another new 841 which I picked up just last week (this one is a POE version) last night there was something odd that happened (could have been a POE glitch - who knows) and the cam moved off of it's preset-10 position by about 20 degrees. Every position was compromised by the same offset...

    IP2M-841 returns to preset on its own

    Thanks James but since I started running it on BI-5, that issue has completely stopped.

    Some People Never Learn (Especially at this Bridge)

    had something similar when I was in Houston. A shortcut between warehouses where a 13'-6" truck could just barely fit through if you went slow - - - then they paved an overlay on the road. When the trucks had a full load on, they still slid through, but once empty - well, a few looked like...

    Hyperthreading

    Once again, @fenderman nailed it. I had locked it into the most cores shown on that setting (4) instead of letting it do its own. Thank you sir.

    Hyperthreading

    well, that shows 1 socket, 2 cores and 4 processors now with 4 graphs and running nothing but BI-4 and the CPU usage it is between 21- 27% changing it back and will re-run these. Now I get 1, 4 and 4 again with the same 4 graphs and identical processor usage. Well, no wonder this isn't talked...

    Hyperthreading

    Done Strange that this isn't mentioned anywhere else on this site - maybe it normally comes ON and mine was just weird since it is a used ebay machine. Hmm, this is odd - per online instructions to see cores, processors I went to CMD prompt typed entered wmic then entered CPU Get...

    Hyperthreading

    Bought a used ebay machine to run BI and the cams and then ran a nice piece of software called "Belarc Advisor" (free for home use) to confirm the inner workings and I noticed that it said "Not Hyper-Threaded" Mine is an i7-4790 with 4 cores and to change hyperthreading you need to go into the...

    IP2M-841EW moves by itself

    That is not supposed to be a default behavior - the 841 does not have a default or home preset. I've not just done a factory reset on mine yet as I am trying to find a way to take advantage of this instead of deleting it :) Edit: I did just notice something when trying the new Amcrest...

    IP2M-841EW moves by itself

    I had read elsewhere in the forum that some had to set the presets in the web UI and then use them in BI. BI 4 has no PTZ or preset control for me (yet) so I can't help you there, but your news is quite discouraging since I wanted to grab a few more 841's. :(

    IP2M-841EW moves by itself

    @dohat leku are you running yours in BI 4 or 5 ? TonyR has previously said that his 841 worked in both versions but I have no PTZ control on my 841 or my 1051 cams at all with BI 4 Any other software I have full PTZ control and can set and delete any presets. I will be pretty upset if I buy BI...

    IP2M-841EW moves by itself

    Last question first - yes the presets work just fine in the Amcrest User Interface, SmartPSS by Dahua or Amcrest, Amcrest Surveillance Pro (new version of SmartPSS) and Blue Iris The Tour works fine in all of these also but any of the other items on that menu of things it can do have never...

    A Sign of the Times

    Had a UPS delivery Saturday and the driver said - "with all the corona stuff going around, do you mind if I just sign this for you?" He didn't want me toughing his electronic pad. I told him that I kind of expected him to just drop it on the porch and leave anyway. Maybe the seller requested a...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Watched this last night and it was better than I expected. People are quickly tiring of the home quarantine as we also quickly tire of the online "look at me, look at me" and the reality of running out of money starts to hit home. As many are saying - "we cannot tolerate a cure that is worse...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I agree with most of what was said in this video but it has also been viewed as another step to remove your freedoms. Normalizing this behavior Self Quarantine is viewed as being a responsible adult - govt. quarantine could be easily abused. But, it really bothers me when you see that they use...

    Just Stop the sensationalizing - don't be a TLDR type and read something: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/have-many-coronavirus-patients-died-italy/ Highlights of it are: Age Distribution = “The age of our patients in hospitals is substantially older - the median...

    Note that every quote is taken out of context. Buying into this clip would be mentally lazy and points out lemmings. This is for the people that investigate nothing and only like to read headlines - no depth of thought or think it's cool to post TLDR (it's Too Long, so I Didn't Read it) Any...

    Yep, and to circle this entire thread back to where it should be - - - - - with all of these kids out of school and bored and out of money - it's a really good time to have Security Cameras !

    PTZ camera, video works in BI, but not PTZ - works in Hikvision app

    heh, yep, learned that the hard way this morning. Thought I bricked one of them for a while, but was able to recover it and make certain the upgrade worked. :cool:

    PTZ camera, video works in BI, but not PTZ - works in Hikvision app

    Hey Tony - I'm guessing you have BI-5 because those setting designations "generic/ONVIF" and the PTZ as "ONVIF/OXML" are not in 4. There is a make/model for "Dahua H.264 RTSP" that I tried and it recognizes these at PTZ's but still allows no control. I hit a few others that were similar too...

    Easiest way or changing around IP#s on my system

    well, as much as I admire getting everything perfect - I will likely just name mine in a sorted order cam1 cam2 etc. and keep that sorted letting the machine assign the IP's within a reserved group as suggested earlier. Of coarse I will tinker first and see just how much trouble it really is.

    PTZ camera, video works in BI, but not PTZ - works in Hikvision app

    appreciate that tip but it didn't work on either the ip2m-841 or the ip4m-1051 I'll do some more in depth searching here on the forum and google and see who else has my cams on BI Thanks though.

    Easiest way or changing around IP#s on my system

    Hey, I've thought about this too - it's not just an OCD thing - I just like Organization :) I've seen threads where changing IP addresses seemed easy but haven't done it myself yet.

    Urgent!!! Amazon warehouse Stop accepting new stocks

    Amazon and so many others are just feeding the frenzy. People don't understand basic psychology - pity. The media is causing most of it and they don't know or care because it gets them more viewers. Viewers = $$$. Every chart or #'s that they show should also include the similar #'s for regular...

    PTZ camera, video works in BI, but not PTZ - works in Hikvision app

    I noticed the same with 2 of my Amcrest cams. They don't show up on the list of cams in an old BI 4 version and it doesn't "locate" a match for them either. I plug in their IP addresses though and I can see with them but no control of position or zoom. This is part of the reason I am still...

    IP2M-841 returns to preset on its own

    Hey Jack - I see that you saw my longer version of this post over on the Amcrest forum as I too thought maybe they shipped me an upgrade from what I ordered. But that does not seem to be the case as it is not labeled that way and I can not get that icon to pop up anywhere in the software. My...

    Clarification on Media Creation Tool

    Thanks to some of you folks for mentioning this tool in various threads - as I have used it a while back to upgrade a Win7 machine to Win10 with no issues. However several threads with @fenderman @loony2ns @SouthernYankee and even @Q™ mention "clean install" which surprises me a lot. Are we...
