Cover your ass principal any time you're speaking to a female in private. It also can cover any he said, she said as to what was discussed with any employee.

I wish I were kidding. It's a prior buildout of a restaurant before we took it over. It's a glorified broom closet.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a camera for evaluations and disciplinary talks? The office is only 6 x 6 so focal length would be super short and it would need to have audio.

So what's going to be the preferred browser since IE is going to be dropped on a support side in the next month or two? Or, do you just use it until it literally dies?

Do you set your router controlling your cameras to a static connection vs. DHCP?

Do you have an install guide for the IPC-T2431T-AS? I bought 6 of these and cannot get them to initialize/recognize in BI5. Are there other steps prior to the BI software that need to be followed?

I guess I should've mentioned the height is the maximum. Should I realistically be looking to mount the cameras at about half that height or less? At 20' it would be more of a bird's eye view with less attention to faces.

We're getting ready to install our camera system inside our restaurant and would like advice on optimal mounting height. We have a ceiling height of approximately 20 feet. I was thinking of using 4mp cams on the inside with 2.8mm lenses to get the widest angle at the shortest focal range...

BI 4, I7-6700 two 4mp Unitech cameras. two 4mp Dahua Starlight cameras. 8 port TP-Link PoE switch.

I was looking to add a couple of the Starlight 4mp cameras from the store here. The cameras I have so far have been DHCP style, with no static IP address assigned to them out of the box. Since the Starlight's are Dahua rebranded cameras, should I use a standalone router set to the 192.168.x.x...

Did you call in the license plate to the cops?

We're stationary on a lot about 1/2 mile from our house. Line of sight won't work with major treeline in between the two. I do have a dsl line but it only has about 3mbps upload speed at the truck.

Thanks for the help guys!

These are probably newb questions but here goes. 1. How do I set cameras to continuously record? I'm missing activity prior to the segments being recorded. 2. Can I use ip cameras at our food truck without a computer locally and point my home system to the cameras for recording? We have a...

As far as the recording of audio goes to my understanding in Oregon, if you have a sticker/sign at the entrance stating you are under video and audio surveillance that is the agreement.

Ok, so the time is rapidly approaching for us to shuffle off the mortal coil of our little food truck for the last 4 1/2 years and head to a brick and mortar location. I have been playing with BI at our house setup for about 8 months or so with a pre existing laptop that I have I7-7700 with no...

Sorry, I had to turn off decoding as of the latest patch to get the cameras to load. They are H.265 cameras. As for the price of Intel, I haven't been able to find a used/refurbished system for less than around $600 plus. Mind you I'm looking for a I7 -7700 or above system.

So since I had to turn off my HW decoding as well, does the new update open up AMD processors as BI systems? Since the advantage of Intel HW decoding needs to be disabled for H.265 recording, it would seem that the manufacturer is moot at this point. Given Intel still processes at a more...

Thank you guys very much for all your continued help with setting up my system. It's amazing to see such a helpful group of users willing to help new BI users.

Thank you very much! A ton of spot on info I was looking for.

I have my first two cams setup and running right now. I am looking for some basic settings to get the best performance out of the system before going forward adding more cameras. I want to make sure I understand the basics before getting too big for my britches. I have 4mp cameras so far...

Most of the hardware I already have (switches, cables, PoE router, etc). I have two 4mp domes to start/test, looking to add about 6 more to the property. I am trying to keep the budget below $1000 for computer, additional poe router, etc. The cameras will be added as I scale the system.

Thank you very much to all for the very useful input! It's nice to have such a helpful group to assist in my setup!

TYVM. One last question. So that HTPC that build is on, can be viewed from my gaming PC without buying a second license? Albeit from inside the same house.

So rather than a NAS, I should probably look to build essentially a little HTPC with internal/external drives connected for storing cam data.

Is that purple drive connected to a PC running BI, or is it just a storage device that the cameras are pointed to? Thank you for your response btw ;)

Hello all. I am just setting up our house with a camera system. I just purchased BI based on the rave reviews it gets/transitioning from testing cameras with I-Spy. I am assuming that my registration will only permit 1 viewing computer, and not multiples (ie. remote viewing from my laptop)...
