    Is my 2231T dead?

    I have a 2231T that has been working great since I got it, no problems whatsoever. Today I decided to move it. When I connected it back up....nothing, nada, zip. It is using the same cable from the old position, I just re-routed it to the new position. I have tried connecting it via the...

    PC Help, Lagging Video

    I had previous problems with choppy video and lag when I was viewing BI PC through RDP from my office PC, including exported video. When viewing directly on the BI PC everything was fine. I changed to viewing remotely via UI3 and everything is now silky smooth. Cheers, Aaron

    Alerts deleted when disc full

    @SouthernYankee below are the screen shots. Disk allocation looks OK. @bp2008 I think you may be correct. I've never seen any files in the "Alerts" folder. I haven't done a db repair yet, just wanting to get some feedback first on the setup to make sure it's all OK. It just seems strange that...

    Alerts deleted when disc full

    Hi, Just noticed that my "New" HDD is 99% full today. everything seems to be fine and older clips are being deleted as I would have expected as newer clips are added. However, I did notice that alerts seem to not be playing so nice. It looks like when the "New" HDD became full, all the alerts...

    Clip storage issues I believe are coming from admin setup..?

    Once I got rid of my external USB drive and replaced it with an internal drive the clip errors stopped.

    Cameras and security lights

    Thanks @JNDATHP Any reason why you went with Homeseer and not another smart hub like Smartthings? Was it very hard to setup? Cheers, Aaron

    @JNDATHP I'd be interested how you have set up the motion detection and automation of ramping up the lights. Sounds interesting. Cheers, Aaron

    clip errors

    Just an update and for future posterity. I removed the USB drive and replaced it with an internal HDD. No more clip errors. I'll report back if they start up again. Thanks all for your help. Very much appreciated. Cheers, Aaron

    clip errors

    Thanks SouthernYankee. The PC is used for BI only and the USB drive is my "New" folder only. I've just had a look in the PC (Dell 9020 SFF with service tag BC9TG52) and there is a blue HDD caddy that has a 7mm SSD in it with space for another HDD. I'll have to workout what size fits and...

    Yes, it's on a USB drive that I had lying around. It's a 2T drive with about 1.5T free space. I'll download GSmartControl and report back. Ta.

    clip errors

    Hi, Just trying to sort out Blue Iris and have noticed quite a number of entries in the status window for "clip errors". I've tried to search but haven't been able to find anything that points me to what it might be. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Aaron

I’m not sure about port forwarding, but I do have an Emby Server and torrent download ‘Deluge’ on my home PC (not my BI PC). Screen shot of what I think you are...

    Poe switch in roof space

    just looking at how to install Poe switch & cabling for easiest/best results. I was thinking to have each camera cat6 cable terminate into a single Poe switch in the roof space and then have one cable from the Poe switch connect through a wall plate to my bi pc. Is this the preferred...

    Cameras and security lights

    Thanks. We already have an alarm system. It happened during the day while she was outside in the front garden. We had a call from the police last night and the two guys are being charged with trespass and assault this week. Fingers crossed it goes to court and they get what is coming to them...

    Cameras and security lights

    Thanks guys, very much appreciated. I think my next step is to purchase a couple of cameras work out the best place for them and see whether extra lighting is needed. I like the idea of dusk to dawn lighting. Maybe not to the extent of JNDATHP though . I do however like the idea of solar garden...

    Cameras and security lights

    Hi, I've been doing a fair bit of reading over the last few weeks and am looking at installing a few cameras around the house due to a couple of scumbags assaulting my wife at home. There is so much to take in. I think I'll be installing approx 6-8 Dahua 2MP Starlight Turrets based on my...
