Just happened about 1/2 an hour ago or so. I thought the house was under attack, a whole lotta shaking going on from the thunder crashes, wind, and rain. LOL, forgot to upload to youtube. Trying to upload now but connection unstable due to storm.

What is the most common bitrate to set a camera at for 720p and for 1080p? I noticed that the bitrate of my Imporx 10x PTZ fluxes between 150-200 kb/s and the pic looks good. I checked on the Reolinks and was shocked to see they fluxed between 500-600 kb/s. (this is checked on using BI camera...

Ever since I put the reolinks where they go outside spiders every night have been driving me nuts. I go out there with a webster and clear the webs. Now for the past few nights I check the monitor before I go to bed and happily see the spiders have given up. Or so I thought. No, they now just...

Updated to BI 4.3.7.0 x64 and noticed that when ever I would use the manual record button at top or the "Start manual recording" option from the individual cameras drop down menu that the recordings would no longer show up in the clips segment on the right. This holds true for all my cameras...

Okay, wife has given me a "soft" green light to start serious looking at PC's. Intel core i7 with QuickSync for hardware decoding 16GB RAM (I just told her 16 GB hehe) Microsoft Windows 8.1 or 10, 64 bit nVIDIA graphics adapter for efficient screen display 7200+ RPM drives and/or SSD drive...

Just remembered another one that I can't find the answer to. I am looking peeps honest. I have found most my questions answered. :) As you may have gathered from the title it is about presets and zones. I thought that you could set up each preset with its very own zones. But when I set up...

Well I just got my 1st PTZ camera up outside today. Managed to get some presets working. Very happy but I do have a few questions and will probably have more as I stumble around. :) But for now, what is the Home or Direct Pan/Tilt button for? It does not seem to do anything when I click it. If...

Is there anyway to be able to attach notes to certain clips. Clips that you have flagged? Hoover over the flagged clip to expose a note pop up that tells you what ever you wrote/typed on the note? Sure would be sweet to hoover over a flagged clip and a note pop up something like, "next door...

Ok, I know you all have heard this from me before, but I am getting close to getting one. I did email the seller of the camera I am looking at with a POE question and one on IR. I will copy and paste my email below and Jack Chans answer below it. But I would like to know from this forum is there...

This is my current cam over looking the front yard. It is a stationary Reolink 410. I am seriously considering getting one of those Imporx 10x PTZ bullet cams. My worry is that if I put it exactly where this one is that it would knock against the over hanging eaves. So, my question is if I...

On my property there is a light pole off to the side closer to the road. It is roughly 80' from my front door/front deck. On that pole is a street light, but it has been inactive since we bought this home about 8 years ago. I have a question about effects on the Reolink night vision...

I don't know if Google Drive did an update that went south or if BI has anything to do with it. But about a week and a half ago when I set BI to save all clips to a folder that I created for it in my Google Drive folder I have been having issues. Sorry, Google Drive needs to quit. An unknown...

Reolink finally admitted that this camera is faulty and so is one of the others that I got. Just the graininess. But in an email (there were many) I told them that all my Reolinks were very jerky and would freeze up then suddenly move on. They do this all the time but only once it is dark and...

Well, I noticed that BI was pegging around 25 - 30% on my main PC (an I5). I can run BI when I play FO4, but FO4 starts playing the heavy lag game after a bit. So I started looking longingly over at my old rig, an old I3. I had just recently updated it to Win7 Pro 32bit up from XP. Thought I...

Okay. I was deleting clips (ugh soooo many) and when I was finished the time line still showed some blue areas. Also under the time line it says Clips: 33 files, 1.01G/121.0G. I have checked my google drive folder (where I have them set to save) and there is nothing in the NEW folder. I have...

Okay. I have tried to find the answer so please forgive this ole coot for the stupid question. Is there a setting to where I can be viewing one of my cameras in full screen mode that when an alert/trigger happens with one of the other cameras that a small image of that camera pops up on the...

I am new to this forum and new to the world of video surveillance. I have got a total of 6 cameras up and running. 4 PoE Reolinks (outside), 1 Reolink wireless (inside), and 1 Altop wireless (inside). The PoE ones at 1080p and the wireless at 720p. All of them 15-20fps. I can see how this can...
