I seem to recall Direct-to-Disk and maybe another key function or two not being available in the BI demo version in the past. Can anyone definitively say whether or not this i s still the case -- if it actually ever was?

I've been experimenting with the Event Scheduler trying to enhance night time performance on a couple of cameras. How are these settings cleared for a fresh start? I've been digging around and searching for awhile on this and coming up empty. I finally resorted to just deleting the camera and...

I'm coming up empty searching on his one. The screen shot(s) pretty much speak for themselves. And man did it give me a run for the money trying to figure out how to schedule an individual 'Relative to Sunrise/Sunset' camera event until I realized what I was fighting. Sheesh. And on top of the...

Yeah, I know. A pretty loaded question. And of course, 'it depends'. LOL I'm currently running a dedicated Optiplex 7020 SFF i7 4790, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 4TB spinner, 20 odd cameras from 1080 to 4K, use Desktop mode almost 24/7, basic residential surveillance/observation application, no...

I just recently began using SMS alerts with a cloned driveway camera. The carrier took some figuring out as it's a Verizon MVNO, but that part is all good now. I receive a SMS alert with 100% image quality from a trigger at the entrance of my driveway before a vehicle gets even halfway to the...

So my first year support/maintenance subscription ran out out on 5/7 and I wanted to be able to have access to the updates available since my last 'successful' one which was 5.5.8.2 back in June '22. I reluctantly updated to 5.7.4.2, without any glaringly obvious issues as has not been the case...

I know. Not an IP camera. Couldn't find the HD-CVI thread. So these were on sale last week and I bought one to kick the tires with my AMDV8M8-H5 DVR. As usual, the published specs and actual reality were two different things. Great image and night vision, though -- @7fps 4k max. Really? That's...

I know my i7-4790 won't do H.265 and have everything set to H.264 accordingly for starters. Out of all my cameras, (admittedly a weird ass variety of stuff), Quick Sync grabs everything except several of my 5MP cameras with two other 5s being solidly supported and another randomly supported. All...

I've been running several different types of cameras on this XVR and have actually been mildly surprised at what it is capable of pulling off given its bandwidth and processing limitations. I've had as many as eight IP cameras simultaneously configured alongside four other 1080P analog cameras...

There's gotta be at least one in a surveillance camera forum who has a basement full of stuff. Any other sources of parts and/or 'go-to-guys' who repair cameras? I'm looking for mounting rings for some Panasonic/Advidia A-54s and a power board for a Dahua A21CVM0Z vari-focal dome -- or someone...

In the process of giving a facelift to my old analog rig I ran across this camera on FB for 20 bucks. It actually has some pretty cool specs and features if I can get it up and running without frying it. I'm just not sure how it's supposed to be powered. There are TVI and CVBS BNCs and a...

After my second to last update a live frame now appears at the bottom of the clips column. It blocks about a third of the column. It is sized to the width of the column and is the last camera selected (for any reason) from the main frame. It doesn't go away until the clips viewer is closed. It...

Trying to sort out the max payload options for the DVR above using a variety of 2MP analog cameras set up to their maximum capabilities and hoping to add at least a pair of IP 5s as well. Doesn't seem like it should be a problem, but... I see mention of an 80Mbps ceiling on some of the...

Everything was just fine and my higher frame rate live streams were as smooth as water flowing. The sub streams were even respectable in their own right -- until I updated to 5.6.5.9 yesterday. I'd been running nicely with 5.5.8.2 which I've remained with faithfully since my last attempted...

First, it's an HDCVI model A21CM0Z dome camera, not an IP camera. If there's a better thread for such relics, feel free to point me in that direction or have someone move the post. And it's not exactly a new model by any means (circa 2018), but "brand new" to me and new out of the box as an...

I've been piddling around with one of the ZOSI cheapie "Lite" DVRs and finally found a RTSP url that actually works with the thing on 554 and it's now accessible by BI as well as VLC via RTSP. Live view out the VGA port is, well, live. Clean in. Clean out. The cam I'm messing with is an old...

I've been scrounging for awhile now for a basic h264 true 1080p/30fps DVR that'll actually stream live at 30fps. I posted about trying a ZOSI and am now kicking the tires on an Annke but with very limited satisfaction with either one -- to just provide a basic RTSP stream at 30fps. I have Blue...

Anyone figure one of these out to hang off a Blue Iris server? I bought one to extend the life of some old Swann cams and to play around with one of ZOSIs cheapie 4-in-1 cams to see what they're about. It's one of the 5mp Lite cheapies and about as basic as it gets -- but puts out a remarkable...

Or should i say Dahua, TVT...? Searching 'Q-SEE' here doesn't turn up much. Need assistance with an older Q-SEE HD 3MP QTN8037BC. -- primarily how to do a factory reset since I'm unable to get video out of either one after replacing the ethrenet connectors. Yes, the pinouts are correct. Have...
