Thanks everyone: I appreciate all the suggestions and comments. I have and have used a upper end game camera to watch my motorcycles at a remote barn, also used one to monitor trespassers at our remote farm property worked fairly well but best with multi-cam install. Nothing is...

Local Law Enforcement (LEO) is asking me (really desperate), what is the most effective method to mount camera and remotely view suspected drug traffic. Not interested in tag numbers or people, but just a car count over time. No internet available, have AC power and a 4G network card and...

I have been experimenting with BI for about two weeks now. Currently running a Hikvision 3mp CD2032 bullet and a dahua 3mp bullet, I have a Hikvision CD2132 dome in the box but not installed. With the two bullet camera installed and recording on alerts only and the frame rate reduced on both...

Thanks, Mike. I finally got it! Now if I can get the Hik's to hold a image size other than 352 X 288, I'll be one step closer on my journey.

Is there a limit or general courtesy on the length of posts. I have been trying to connect two Hikvision (2032; 2132) since 4/26 with no success. I have formatted a table with my network settings and would like to post it, but am unsure if it is acceptable. I can see the cameras in Live View...

Hello Dave; Sorry about your dog. Cameras are ok but the can't lick your face. As a newbie myself, I really can't add a lot of technical information, but I too looked at Logitech and prepackaged systems. Camera systems are similar to most everything else, you get what you pay for. A very...

I have now installed the full version of BI 3, have the Dahua HFW4300S running and the iOS version of BI operating successfully on the iPad. After seeing the large number of Hikvision cameras used by forum members, I decided to try a couple 1) a DS-2cd2132 3mp network dome 2.8mm and 2) a...

Old and slow, but a few moments when tired brain cells get excited and bounce around.

Does anyone know how to set the correct time (internal) on the Dahua. Camera time is out of sync with real time, not by a time zone or even several. A 48 minute and a few seconds differential. Thanks 4/26/14 00:02 Z Awarded myself two DA stars with clusters for that one!

Update on constant crashing! Finally I did what I knew I should. Got some new cables, revived an old Win 7 box, bought the full version of BI and carefully read the manual (first part anyway). Had BI up, running, connected in 30 minutes. Sending email alerts and messages 10 minutes later...

Thanks, vector 18. I've been retired a few years (did 30 and grabbed the 'chute), so my network experience is dated. I installed several mainframe-client networks, and a couple of small to medium peer-peer. It used to be fun, but got to canned. Switched over to GIS as main interest in...

Thanks again Mike, Windows firewall off, Norton 360 firewall on/off still happens. Camera connected/disconnected still happens. Not connected to BI now. About 2am uninstalled BI and took a break (zzzz's). Got the idea with the reinstall there might be two instances of a subroutine (sorry, I...

Thanks, I did a clean reinstall. The crashing stopped but now in on the main camera screen the software spawns x^12! daughter windows. It looks like your staring into two mirrors 180 degrees apart. So far I've had a bad cable; a bad port on the POE switch (LEDs said port was receiving power...

Downloaded the trial version of BI three days ago; got camera in today and now BI crashes everytime I try to start it. It did not begin this behavior with the installation of the camera and not after any particular event. I'm an experienced (old) incremental development guy, but due to outside...

Just getting started in IP cameras and video, looking forward to trying to see if an old dog can learn a few new tricks.
