    Playback starts several seconds after start time shown in thumbnail

    I have one of my cameras indoors trained on our catflap so we can keep an eye on our cat's movements, especially at night. In the morning I have a quick look at the thumbnails, which often show his head just emerging from the catflap as he is coming in, and the clock on the thumbnail will say...

    Cobweb effect on IR mode

    I've recently upgraded some of our cameras with Reolink PoE 5MP HD cameras, unlike the old cameras these have IR for night vision. I'm now getting multiple false triggers because for an hour or two during the night each of them starts displaying 'cobwebs' on the image, which shake and move...

    Since latest update, BI stops running in the middle of night

    Since the latest update from BI a month or so ago, I have twice gone to check things when I get up in the morning only to discover the program is not running. The computer displays a desktop screen with no programs running, and no message saying 'program had to close unexpectedly' as has...
