    Little help with exposure

    I have a Dahua PTZ SD59225U-HNI . It's picture has been seemingly dark. Something I think I've noticed but not really paid much attention to until today. Even though most of the scene is snow. The image is very dark compared to my other cams (5231s).

    Cam shows yellow ! at top and no bitrate

    After rebooting I have a single CAM Dahua 5231R that has the yellow circle with a ! in at at the top of that camera. Also it doesn't report a bitrate in BI. Looking up in the manual says usually the frame rate is mismatched. Checked, double checked, changed the frame rate, changed the...

    BI Time lapse export

    I live in the great northwest where we recently got hit with over 50" of snow in a few days. I'd like to make a time lapse out of this and noticed when I was trying to export (that's not working either) that there seems to be a time lapse export feature. However I can't seem to find what makes...

    Trash Guy weirdness

    Pretty sure this guy was just being "nice" and pickup up trash off the street along his walk...However. VERY bizzare you would pick a random house and dump your bag in the trash can. Also please do critique camera placements/suggestions. CAM1 CAM2 CAM3

    Camera called "Motion" keeps being added back.

    When I restart BI a camera called "Motion" with shortname of "Camera" keeps being added in as a camera. It has no signal because it has no setup. Has anyone else ever had this happen? This is twice on two systems now. On the last system I just hid it because I could never get rid of it.
