    Overlays no longer showing on attached jpeg when triggered

    Over the last few weeks the overlays have stopped showing up (via sms) on the attached images when triggered and an alert sent. Am I missing a new setting? I haven't changed anything.

    Lenovo sff 510 i5-6400.. 8gb / 200gb SSD

    $200.. Seems like a good deal and from what I understand the cpu should do just fine with 5 -6 @ 4mp cameras. Any thoughts or advice? I plan on using the nas for storage which looks to be possible. Time to get away from hikvision cloud. Looking forward to figuring out blue Iris!

    Hikvision and FreeNAS - works

    I was able to get Hikvision working with FreeNAS - well for the last 24 hours at least :) It took a while and the fact that I am still a FreeNAS / Linux newbie didnt help. I will post more detailed instructions as time permits - but in a nutshell, you need to create a dataset under your...

    Residential Install - opinions welcomed and wanted (long read)!

    I have done enough research and video watching to make my head explode - so now lets see if any of my research has paid off - Residential install - 3 cameras to start, maybe 5-8 down the road. The purpose is two fold - 1) keep an eye on the kids since they are old enough to come home alone...

    Hello from Cincinnati!

    What a great site! I stumbled across it a few weeks ago while researching cameras. I didnt realize how far ip cameras have come in just a few years. I am planning on putting a simple system at the house mostly to watch the kids now that they are older and can come and go without mom and dad...
