Hi guys. I just bought a SD49225T-HN. Its working well except the PTZ. I set the preset zones in BI. When I use the auto cycle it will work for a few complete cycles then it locks up all PTZ functions. I can log into the camera with palemoon and control the PTZ when BI cant. This proves the...

I just put one of these in my shop. Im very satisfied. Id recommend it for remote locations. So far the wifi seems very stable. Set up was pretty simple. Works as expected as I took it across different access points in my ubiquiti network. Assigned it a static IP by MAC, and BI picked it right...

Well I originally had alarm.com cams with my security system, so anything would be an improvement. Plus alarm.com limits you to 5 cams. I just need to keep an eye on my shop. I know arlo and alarm.com suck. It was quite a bit of digging before I stumbled across this forum. I was going to buy a...

Easy easy. I obviously like this set up, or I would not continue to spend money on improving it. I'm just asking why one solution and not another. Someone said drivepool worked for them, I tried it. It seems to work ok, but that is a valid point about introducing failure points. And $30 bucks on...

Thanks Tangent. I have not changed anything except the patrol times. It seems to have fixed it. I set a few presets for at least 45sec. These are just for inside, my garage, shop, back patio, ect. I have not purchased the only high end PTZ I intend to install yet. Im still not sure if the...

So Tony, maybe you can justify the reasoning behind avoiding drivepool? Dont get me wrong, I have spent a few thousand almost on blind faith from this forum's advice. Luckily I can afford a hobby like this, really an Arlo could do what I was initially desiring to do. I was a bit surprised to see...

I didnt see the reply. I had already started moving the clips to the pool. It looks like my problem was in the database. As recommended, once the schedule ran to pile them back together, it sorted itself out. Seems ok, minus $30.

Im on a trial of drivepool. I'm having problems with bi seeing the pool instead of the individual drive. I have D: 6tb E: 10tb F: pooled 14.6, useable I have the red error on bi !!F: -5.3T. I think bi is writing to the 10tb and not seeing the other 6tb in the poll. Any ideas?

So ultimately the only way to access the cameras processor is through the web interface, right? I suppose it's ok to change to 264 to view my changes and set it back to 265. I also am having problems with all my 203s in auto scan. They get stuck. But andy suggested hard reset. Either way I'm...

Just to change the settings for the camera. I have SD cards in them too. I got this whole system up and running, but honestly am still figuring out the details how the interfaces actually affect the cameras. As far as I understood, BI can only change limited settings in the cameras processors...

I tried Nacl, pale moon, IE, Edge. The other cams work in browser. If I turn the 203Ts to H264 it will work. All the other cams are also H265. Andy recommended hard resetting all my 4x PTZs.

I am trying drivepool. I have a 6tb and a 10tb. Im wondering if the balancing will automatically fill one drive, then the other. Just started digging around though this. There are a bunch of options in something that initially seems so simple. What are your settings like?

None of my 203T-GNs display in the web interface. I can change the settings. The cam works fine in BI. 2.622.0000000.7.R,

Hi fenderman. So does bi with upnp disabled offer enough security to protect my cameras? I do want to get stunnel up to protect my video feed and from what I understand, the log in handshake. But my initial assumptions of doing a vpn to secure as best as possible are not going to work. So I'm...

They arent concerned with me accessing my nvr. They just dont let us change settings or load programs on the office PCs. It all has to go through helpdesk. I dont think I can limit the IP addresses since my work IP will change or I may change assignments. Is my BI pc vulnerable with the port...

I finally got my system to remote view. Im really happy, but I am still not using a VPN. I am using a forwarded port to my bi PC. The wild card for me trying out a VPN is my work computer. I work offshore on a drill ship. We have terrible wifi that I can access with my devices, but it's bad. It...

I'll try pale moon. I tied chrome with the nacl browser, edge, ie. I'm in vegas and it's been pretty cool low 40s at night. I'll try setting the preset times a bunch longer and maybe it will be an indicator of heat issues. Thanks

Hi guys. I finally have my system up and running. I am having trouble with 5 starlight ptzs, SD1A203T. I set the presets with BI. The presets work well. I turn on auto scan and that works well also. However after a day of auto scan the ptz locks up. There are only 5 to 7 preset on each cam and...

I bite the bullet. Arris modem, ubnt usg, 16 poe switch, cloud key, ac pro aps. It was weird getting the usg to adopt. Plus the cloud key. But it seems stable now. Advise for novices like me. I hooked everything up, including the usg. But did not hook up my wan to the usg. I used a port on the...

I am leaning heavily towards ubiquity. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but i would use a 3.1 modem, ub router, switch poe or injector, access point. The bi switch and system would tie into the internet switch. I figured it would run about 400+. This set up will support a vpn. I suppose a vlan...

No intention to run bi over the wifi. Im pulling cat6 all over the house, so im going to hardwire as much as i can. But I'm sick of this rental router/ modem. So i was curious if there capabilities i should look for. Im not sure if the google wifi can block mac addresses or if i should look for...

Does anyone have recommendations or definite no nos for choosing routers? I'm renting a panoramic from cox and tried of is poor performance. I was really looking at the Google wifi system or one of the other mesh systems. I'm concerned about flexibility with tying into an blue iris system...

Ok thank you for your honesty. I suppose I should go back to looking for an i5 6th gen.

Hi zebrock. Im currently building a system and am learning on my I7 3gen laptop. Would this work as the PC for a 16 cam system? I guess I should be asking if any HDDs can be added. Thanks Sky

Thank you.

I appreciate the responses. I did figure out how to change my laptops subnet to match the cam and got in to view it. I didnt understand that BI is basically a different interface for the Dahua software. Is that correct? It is mostly for handling the streams from the cameras and processing what...

Hi, This is my first go at networking and cameras, so please bear with me. I was wondering if anyone put together a beginners step by step to starting a BI system. I ask because I have found that many professionals I work with have the aptitude to learn but are, like most technicians, hesitant...
