    How to set up IVS rules so it records while condition is true and not post-N seconds after an event?

    No it does not trigger when I left the zone. I want to start recording when I enter the zone and WHILE in the zone. I thought this is so trivial, it properly recognizes the target and highlights it in green, still the camera does not support such a rule.

For example: when I mow this yard it starts recording once I...

    How to set up IVS rules so it records while condition is true and not post-N seconds after an event?

    I want to record all time when someone is in the region, and not only 10 seconds after he or she enters the region. For example, if I enter the designated region and stay there talking with someone it will stop recording after 10 seconds, I dont want that to happen. I want the NVR to record all...

    Which Dahua and Where to buy

    I don't think you can initialize over web. You have to use the "configtool" app from dahua. It works on the L2 network layer so the only requirement is to have it within the same network segment as your camera.

    Which Dahua and Where to buy

    Nothing wrong, except for your assumption. You have to initialize the camera first with the config tool from dahua.

    You sound very knowledgeable about free software. Basically you're saying Linux is crap. Okay I'll just leave this for everyone else Free VMS Software Directory

    Yes, it was just "owner" before and that was the answer to your post about ad fees and sales commission the site owner receives. So it should be clear what owner I was saying about.

    1. How do you know? 2. I was saying about owner of the forum, not the owner of BI

    I'm not saying everyone sells BI here. Don't get me wrong. I just said some users might. Also I'd expect the owner of the forum be a user on the forums too.

    I think you misunderstand what the word "fact" means Actually it's a lie because where are free products which by definition will be better because nothing can beat $0 in "bang for the buck"

    You can't say for sure, but I see BI ads here and there on this forum. That's the fact which you can easily see. Also, there is link "Store" above which you can click and surprise! BI is there

    Which Dahua and Where to buy

    Beware users on this forum might be biased towards BI because they sell this software. I'd start with a simple NVR like NVR4xxx-4KS2 for $100 or so.
