    Lenovo servers TS140 or TS440??

    Hey thanks! I don't want to spend more than 350 though. I already have the O/S (windows 8 via education discount) and HDD. The price point of the TS440 was good at 300. there is one a TS140 for 297 on amazon as well (looks like a returned item)

    Lenovo servers TS140 or TS440??

    Looking at getting one of these. I would want a smaller system like a Lenovo M93p, or maybe a HP Elitedesk 800 G1 but the T140 and T440 seem very affordable (about 300-350 bucks) How would the lenovo T140 handle my setup? I'm running version 4 with 4 hikvisions running at 1080, one geeya 801c...

    I have BI on both my computers (desktop which used to run it) and the laptop which is now the BI server and serves no other purpose. I can't get sound to come through the laptop for the life of me from the 2432. On my desktop I can hear the sound. On the laptop, there is no sound. all the...

    I already have the hardware event setup (from Blue Iris) just not sure where in camera settings it is. I see something similar in even my 2032s for it. so it confused me

    alerts for when I'm not home a camera has been activated?

    One feature I love with Blue Iris is that I can be notified when there is motion on one of my cameras via alerts when I'm not home... Does xprotect (GO for me) offer something like this? They have a nice mobile app, but I don't see if it can push motion alerts?

    exporting video. Codecs for GO

    Blue Iris does the job, but I just thought xprotect was more streamlined. I actually run both on a icore5 laptop right now. It seems to work, but laptop is def working hard lol

    exporting video. Codecs for GO

    It doesn't... it only let me do a avi. I was able to to a good quality avi for 27 seconds at 147 mb. now what's REALLY annoying is that it puts a HUGE logo on the bottom right corner that has a white background, taking out 1/3 of the bottom portion of the screen. the GO is nothing more than a...

    Blocky/choppy video

    Any ideas what is causing this? It seems to do it on my i5 laptop with 4gb ram windows 7... Freshly formatted with nothing on it too. It doesn't seem to do it on my beast i5 overclocked machine I would say maybe the laptop can't handle the video, but it's really not THAT demanding. I have 3...

    Alerts are only snapshots on new comp

    I just dedicated a core i5 laptop as my BI server (we'll see if a laptop can handle it, doesn't seem like it can) and I imported all my settings from my desktop to it (the reg file) Everything transferred good (from windows 8.1 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit) but for some reason, alerts aren't...

    1 of my cameras won't go ver 15 fps on BI

    I just setup 3 more cameras and 2 of them are hikvision 2032s. I was getting great performance out of it today until I realized one of them dipped in FPS to 15. no matter what I do, I can't get it over 15fps... I've confirmed in hikvision that the fps is set to 25. I also verified that on BI...

    Using a 2032 "sideways" can I remove or rotate hood?

    interesting. Good to know. I will use that method for the garage one I'm installing. I wish it was removable like dahua then. I never really used their cameras.

    Using a 2032 "sideways" can I remove or rotate hood?

    Re: Using a 2032 "sideways" can I remove or rotate hood? I didn't want it that low where it's face height. I do know what you mean though. I have another camera inside where if the door opens, I will have a much better face shot. I just think that if it was face height, someone...

    Using a 2032 "sideways" can I remove or rotate hood?

    I installed a 2032 for my front door and utilizing it sideways, so I have a long view of my walk path. However it looks sort of funny being sideways with the body of camera being sideways. Especially the hood... is there a way to rotate that stuff, or do I just have to live with a camera...

    2032 is seen by SADP, but can't connect to it

    Hey thanks for reply. I ended up doing a factory reset and it works now. the camera had a previous configuration (192.168.1.128) when I first got it, which is odd because that's not the factory IP setting... once I did the factory reset, everything works.

    2032 is seen by SADP, but can't connect to it

    Pretty much what the title says... I see the new 2032 I just got in the mail on SADP and I set it up identical to my other camera for the gateway subnet etc. however when I try to connect to it via browser, I'm not getting through... any suggestions?

    snapshots are black

    Tried to get a snapshot, and it's coming out all black. Also I noticed when I pause the video, the view turns all black. any ideas? interestingly enough, it's doing this on my Geeya 801C camera, and not my hikvision
