I tried everything I could think of, different versions of windows and 3 different computers.... couldn't get it to work :-( I bought avigilon in the end

maybe blue iris has been updated since I tried it.... can you click a slider and drag it around to manually scan through the recordings? that's what I like doing.... can scan through really fast when not much is happening, then go really slow when a customers is being served / the till is...

I tried blue iris but didn't like the playback much... it was pretty slow when I go check footage I like to scan through it quickly... Avigilon was awesome at that... simple slider to use, nice easy control I thought.... I don't want/need any of the hundreds of other functions most other VMS...

4mp and 6mp I don;t do any kind of video processing or motion detection... just dump footage to disk 24/7

that still adds up pretty quickly... I'd really like to add more cameras but that would make it too expensive really liked the look of Milestone XProtect.... but the free version is limited to 8 cameras, after that it's £500 program license then £140 per camera :-(

$150us or about £115gbp per camera.... I'm running 30 cameras so that adds up quick, I just can;t justify the cost :-(

any news/updates here / anything new? what did you do op? I've used a bunch of different software over the years (from back before IP cameras were a thing) running dahua cameras right now, and the dahue smartpss software... which is ok... ish... tends to crash during playback :-( I tried...

hardware raid or software? hardware a mirror actually preforms better than no raid, writes are done to both drives at the same time, but reads can be spread across both drives (so reads different things from each drive, since they're identical) I tested out windows software raid (just for the...

I rolled back... made no difference to me might be a silly question... but you're all running 64bit windows right? checked to see if there was a new release of smartpss and noticed it's listed as 32bit... with no 64bit version to download... odd to mention 32bit? my old (working) system was...

the NVR is a new version, (just checked I'm running version 3) I'm sure I tried the older version... I might try it again.... the problem with the older version is the 2tb hd size limit... and it only supports 'normal# drive letters... C: D: E: etc... so when you run out of alphabet letters you...

nothing stood out in the event logs, so I cleared them just flicked through recorded footage, lasted a bit longer thing time, sometimes crashes really quickly 4 new logs under security service "microsoft windows security auditing" 17:00:21 an account was logged off 17:00:21 an account was...

I had the same problem with older version and with this version... even formatted system and fresh installed newest version, same problem :-( I can only assume it's a hardware incompatibility problem? - I thought/guessed maybe it didn't like the sas raid controller... but recording/playback to...

any ideas anyone? sorry to bump the post, I'm a bit stuck here was going to swap the old system into the new server case but old system doesn't have a spare pcie slow for the sas raid card :-( think might have to buy a pci gfx card for the old system so i can use it like that, seams a shame...

it's always the server end that crashes, makes no difference if I view remotely or on the server itself recorded to the OS ssd instead of the raid array but it mane no difference, server side crashed when I clicked around through recorded time it seams to be ok if I click one time and view...

H.264H I've got 9 cameras running right now, used to have 4 on the old system (different pc) and playback wasn't a problem then all recording works 100%... and all the footage is there.... just when I scan through it the NVR program crashes on the server end I swapped to a server case running...

formatted and reinstalled.... it's exactly the same :-( I'm at a total loss here :-( any ideas anyone? - I'll try anything to fix this

I think... I'll format the system and start fresh I had the older version of pass NVR installed before and upgraded older version only supported 2tb hard drives so had to partition the drives into loads of smaller partitions, upgraded to make things easier I'll report back when I'm done :-)

hi, yes I'm running smart pss with built in nvr on a PC it used to be ok, I could jump around footages as much as I liked no problem, one camera or all of them now it makes no difference if I watch one camera or lots, it crashes the nvr program :-(

erm... anyone?

hi I have a server running smart pss (and very little else) I can (normally) remotely search recordings and start playing a recording, but if I click a couple of different points on the time line (checking different time of the same camera) the NVR program crashes, everyhting else on server...

damn, I kind of had my fingers crossed I could get the cameras to dump to a server and then the server could be a dumb/simple system, just with lots of storage I've got a couple of dahua cameras, and the quality is bloody amasing! pss software seams good so far, but I've only tested the...

if I log into each of the IP cams, and get them to send recorded footage to ftp server or nas.... do you know how easy it is to review that footage later on ? is it possible to watch multiple cameras recordings at the same time ? (so that 3 or 4 old videos play in time sync)

I'll get an i7 then and see if I can get a decent raid card... don't really want to run raid, don't need the extra speed and don't want the reduced reliability but need a nice/easy way to spread footage across drives (to be fair before SSDs came out I always ran raid and never had a single...

hi thanks for the reply if I need more CPU power for direct to disk (thought I might) I'll probably go with a server chip - slightly slower but I could have a lot more cores, which will help with the multiple cameras I think ? (I'm good with hardware, have been building computers since I was a...

hi I'm running a 16 channel analog dvr system right now, with 12 cameras all recording 24/7 onto 14tb of hard drives need to add more cameras soon, need at least 22 total planning to switch to IP cameras, I've ordered a DaHua HDBW4300R-Z HD 3MP camera and POE switch to try out the camera and...
