    Port forwarding suddenly stopped working..

    I've noticed for awhile after an old android app update that the wan connection was slow to connect and load vs the speed on lan but I put up with it and double notifications for the same alert for awhile. I don't know if that helps at all but suddenly I can't connect at all by wan now. Thought...

    Foreign user? "local_console"

    When I first setup BI years ago there were only ever 2 users I created. At some point during an update I noticed a 3rd user account called "local_console" but didn't think much of it at the time. Today I inspected it closer and revealed its password set for it which was something like 33egl34ee...

    Lightning may have damaged my cameras!

    Hey guys! Lightning struck my place and I did not have my components in a surge protector at the moment it happened which was also by chance because normally it is protected. The timing sucks but initially it looked as if the only component that fried was the modem. The other parts being the...

    Weird No Signal Issue With New PTZ (UN/PW)

    Currently going crazy trying to understand why my new DS-2DE4A220IW keeps coming up as No Signal Error 8000007a (Check Port/User/Password) 0 despite the ip, port and user/pw being 100% correct and everything power cycled AND working fine when logging directly into camera! I've never had this...

    How important is one megapixel to you?

    This is more of a 2 part question. The other question being, If price were no concern and all else were equal, do you believe an extra megapixel provides a significant amount of additional detail to help with the identification of a suspect?

    IR stopped working but I can still see it on?

    My DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 suddenly went dark on me in blue iris. I can still see a little bit of details but i'm almost certain the IR stopped working because it was fine all day until the sun began to set yet I can still see both red "snake eyes" on when I go out and look at it. I've tried power...

    Does Philadelphia / PA require security system installers to be licensed?

    A local company is telling me there is no licensing required for installers here and I can't seem to find anything online to verify that he's right or wrong. Only this really old article about an attempt to do so: Philly eyes installer licensing | Security Systems News I know permits are...
