    Windows 10 Update to Version 2004

    I had a lot of grief with this update, specilfically 'Running as Service'. Lots of error messages about incorrect passwords; usual M$ gibberish. I had to do a restore OS in place to get it sorted. Very time consuming and a right PITA! YKMV! Rick

    Windows client?

    Thanks for the Radmin info. I have also learned to dislike TeamViewer, so found Radmin to be spectacularly simple, yet efficient. I now have a headless BI PC sitting in our telecom rack. For general local viewing we use ui3. For specific BI configuration, I will use Radmin. Next project...

    Condensation inside 'new' camera

    I had the same problem with a new SD22404T-GN. Cost me 2 call-back from the install guy and lots of searching. However, after about a week, it just disappeared - nothing we did - and has been good as gold ever since. YMMV Rick

    Blue Iris UI3

    I'm a Chrome hater from way back, but unfortunately it is the most efficient way to access Ui3. It even runs almost smoothly on a 5 yo under-powered android tablet. Rick

    What do you think? Are you ready for this?

    I have Linux Mint 19 on our file server. Quite easy to set-up and maintain, and the best part is that most Linux distros aren't all that fussy about hardware, with high-end GPU's possibly the exception. My current 'work' machine runs Win 7 which loses support on 20th January next year. When...

    Thanks for the heads-up. Looks very good. Unfortunately they sell for just under $400 +P&H in this part of the world; I just bought a brand-new Asus ac68u for $150 delilvered. Rick

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I've just setup piVPN on a 3b+. I've tried to get VPN running on a variety of dd-wrt routers and a Win 10 machine with no luck, but this worked first time. Using BlueIris for Android for remote checks. If anyone's interested, I started here: PiVPN Rick

    Opinion sought for BI computer

    I bought the HP EliteDesk 800 g2 off ebay. Built like a brick xxxxx, and very easy to work on. Mine came with an i5-6400 CPU which showed constant 40% CPU load with 4 Dahua cameras.. I put in an i7-6400 with much better results. I also replaced the main HDD with an SDD I had lying around...

    Newbie needing a sanity check before going forward

    Another vote for a dual NIC arrangment. Considering the current price of even Intel branded NIC's, it's a very affordable option and there's lots of posts on how to do it. Rick

    What a great resource!

    Hi Mate. From Andy, I got an 8 port PoE, 1 x IPC-HDW2231R-ZS (EyeBall), 1 x IPC-HDBW4231F-AS (mini Dome), 1 x IPC-HDBW4231E-ASE (mini Dome) and 1 x SD22404T-GN. The IPC-HDW2231R-ZS has the best picture of them all !! The SD22404T has a large issue with condensation and heat, but I'm sure...

    Anybody use OpenVPN server on Windows

    Thanks OldDawg. You've just saved me the last bit of hair I have left. I've been banging away at this VPN thing for a few weeks now and getting nothing more than annoyed. Grabbed a spare 3b+ and got the whole thing (just about) running using the instructions in your link. Any problems /...

    Thanks bp2008! I naturally assumed that I'd stuffed it up, which is normal for me. I appreciate your help. Rick

    Evening All I've just begun the long journey with BI and ui3. There have been some victories but I'm now stuck on the Chrome page loading ui3. In the pop-up status box, everything gets an OK except from "Loading Server Status BUSY" I'm using the IP address and port from the BI web server tab...

    What a great resource!

    Hello All First post from 'down-under', although I've been lurking / reading for a while now. After much reading - Cliff Notes are an absolute gem - I've just received 4 cameras and a PoE switch from Andy and the cable guy will be along in a few days to put it together. I'm using Blue Iris on...
