Hi Frazier. Thank you for your question. Glad to contribute something back to the forum. After much thought and reading and comparison of specs and prices, and due in no small part to earlier posts in this thread, I decided to buy Hikvision cameras, the 2142 series. They are not PTZ, but I think...

I'm trying to understand why I'm not seeing many smaller clip files, rather than one large file per camera. I see the "break" occurring (if I'm properly interpreting the red border around the live view as indication of recording, and disappearance of red border as evidence of break occurring)...

I did not know about the Snipping Tool. Probably the last time I captured a screen print of a window was some years ago. Used Alt-PrtSc. clearly the snipping tool is light years ahead. Thanks so much! I "think" I'm beginning to understand how BI generally works, at least with regard to these...

Can not work on this more tonight. Will let it run tonight and see what happens in the morning. Thanks a million for the help tonight.

I only have one camera right now. So no confusion on color :peaceful: I just disabled the Combine and Cut.

I have the window clip. ?how do I insert it into the reply? Only way I can see is to make a file? I know I have the clip, as I can Ctrl-V it into an email message???? I MAY have found something. ?is the default Video setting on the Record tab for all profiles normally "When triggered"?, then...

Well, I'm confused by the blue bar at the bottom of the console. A period of time will pass where the blue bar seems to not extend. Then all of a sudden it will "fill in" to the far right of the timeline. ?is that when the file is written to disk? At this moment, it appears to be logging. I...

Thank you for the help. Wellllll, I started recording at about 21:47. It stopped at about 22:25, then restarted at 22:31, then stopped at 22:48 (that's about 18 minutes). Then stopped for 21 minutes, then ran for almost 39 minutes. It stopped about 6 minutes ago (the blue bar at the bottom of...

New user here. BI and camera and iPhone app installed today. Worked beautifully for a couple of hours. Still mostly works great. Live view of camera is wonderful. BI alerts motion detected. Etc Etc Etc. BUT, "suddenly" (an hour ago), disk logging of clips stopped. Can't figure out why. What I...

After much research and help from others on this and other forums, I bought Blue Iris and ordered a 2DS2142 from BHPhotoVideo.com in the US (hasn't arrived yet). BHPV says they are an authorized distributor of Hikvision products in the US, so I don't expect to get a gray market product but I did...

Thank you! Really appreciate your help. But I'm a bit confused. You suggest getting LOWER mp cameras for BETTER night picture? Seems counterintuitive. Comments elsewhere about the 2CD2142FWD camera indicate that it is a BETTER low-light choice than the 3MP version. ??????

I will be installing a surveillance system in my home this Spring. I first thought I would use Axis cameras, since everyone seems to support them. I'm now leaning toward the (relatively) new 4mp Hikvision 2CD2142FWD models. Apparently these cameras aren't fully supported yet, at least not by...

I did look at Hikvision more closely, and have identified this camera to seriously consider in all three of the focal lengths offered: DS-2CD2142FWD-IS. Thanks for suggesting that I take another look at Hikvision.

Thank you. I will look into that series. I live in Texas. If anyone can recommended an online source, it would be much appreciated. FWIW, money is ALWAYS important. But some projects I don't wish to do twice. The more I read in forums, it seems that lots of people are on their second or third...

More info: if you look at this page: http://www.abus.com/eng/Commercial-Security/Video-Surveillance/IP-HD-SDI-analog-HD-or-analog/IR-cut-filter My IDEAL is to have the IR corrected pictures on the right, both inside and outside, on all cameras. I'm looking for a solution that will do this. Thanks

I need your help. I will install a surveillance system in my home this spring. I'm wading through the thousands of choices of cameras and nvrs, and I'm leaning toward Axis cameras. I know little about the various brands, but Axis seems to be the "standard of measure". That appeals to me. I know...
