looney2ns - thanks for the reply....looks like I can install V5 on a Win7 box. I'll have to see if I want to upgrade the V4 version I have in place, or go with a fresh install of V5.....something to think about.

bp2008- Kind of what I figured....I'm not even sure if I can install V5 on a Win7 box, so I need to research that as well. Glad to hear you were able to fix your cam issue simply by deleting/re-creating it....that's good to hear, but was probably a hassle.

wittaj- thanks for the reply. I'll see about exporting each of the individual camera settings and placing those files in a safe place during the upgrade. I wasn't sure if V5 supported Win7...if I recall correctly, I don't think that it did, which was one of the reasons I was stuck on V4....but...

Hi- I've got an old Win7 machine running BI 4.8.6.3. I'm working on configuring a new machine running Win10, and wanted to know if there is a recommended process on upgrading / transferring all of the camera settings from the older BI install to the new one. I'm hoping that I don't have to add...

Yes...we'll see what happens. I could not believe the way it was packaged....there was bubble wrap around the perimeter of the tower, but NOTHING on the two exposed sides (top / bottom of the shipping box)....uggggg Looking at this for a possible replacement: DELL OPTIPLEX 5050 SFF DESKTOP PC...

Well....that really didn't work out the way I thought it would....item arrived today, but box had a huge hole in it. I opened up the box, and the front of the case is damaged, and there is a huge dent on the outer PC case directly opposite of where the motherboard sits....needless to say, I'm...

Shipping was a little over $50 and there was tax as well....total was around $249.

It's an intermittent problem....when it occurs, I cannot access the PC using remote desktop. Fails to reply to any ping commands. It's been a problem for a while, I was just reluctant to upgrade the OS from Win7 to Win10. On another note...I pulled the trigger on this one a little while...

Understood. Thanks again for all of your advice as well as spending the time to go on eBay and post the systems here...the system I have now is somewhat flakey....the PC remains powered up, for some reason, I can't access it across my LAN/WAN and BI stops recording until I reboot the PC, but...

found one....but for $399. I figure that a lot of these would be upgrades compared to the old machine I am currently using as it is a 4th gen i7 Dell OptiPlex 3000 SFF Core i5-12500 16GB RAM 256GB SSD Windows 11 WARRANTY 2025 | eBay

fenderman- Thanks for your comments and the links to the two machines. I'm looking into both of them now....we'll see what I get back from the two sellers.

Asking $224. I am aware of the HDD and SSD limitation. I have network storage that I use to archive cam video to if needed. I was going to use SSD for OS and BI software and internal 3.5 HDD for direct to disk recordings.

looney2ns- Thanks for the reply....getting ready to hit the buy it now button.

oicu2- Thanks for the reply. I'll look at the HP Slimline....looking for something that will pretty much be turnkey as I have a lot of other projects in work...otherwise, I would go ahead and put together a new machine like I did for the original BI PC back in 2011.

Hi- The PC that I built back in 2011 (Win7/i7-4770@3.4GHz/8 GB RAM) is giving me issues, so I'm looking to find a suitable replacement. I've noticed that a lot of folks are going to the SFF, specifically looking at older Dell machines. I found one on e-Bay that seems pretty reasonable, price...

bp2008- I bought the same POE adapters...worked pretty well, and has a small form factor. The ethernet connection was in the attic, so I'm not sure what happened....I'm just glad that I was able to save >$100 if I had to replace the cam.

bp2008- Thanks again for your help. I got the 12v DC jack from Amazon the other day. I plugged the cam into it, and to my surprise, I saw a small red LED light up on the PCB. I figured that I now would need to figure out how to run the 12V supply to the cam, and use that instead of the POE...

bp2008- I tried the coat idea...no dice. I don't have a 12v DC jack, so I had to order one. I'll try it out, and report back. Hopefully, that will bring it back to life...otherwise, I'll be looking for a replacement cam to watch the porch. Thanks again for the reply.

Hello- I've got a Hikvision DS-2CD2132-I that is no longer working. I was having trouble with the PC that I had running my security camera software (Blue Iris), so the system was down for a while. I had my POE switch providing power to all of the cams in the system for a while. I turned...

Thank you for the replies. I have a USB dock that I intend on using as a backup. I actually have a SATA dock built into my PC tower, so I'll just dock the BI drive, and look for the files that I want to keep. BP- I'll take a look at that location in the registry using the link you...

Hello- Well...the subject line should say it all....the PC that I build back in 2013 gave up the ghost. I cannot get it to boot, despite various trouble shooting paths I've taken. I'm in the process of getting a new mother board and case to hopefully transplant the CPU, memory, and hard drives...

Hello- Here is a setup that I had working for quite some time....that is until the wifi router I had decided to give up the ghost. Here's my setup: Main house running 9 Hikvision POE bullet cams Ubiquiti Networks PICOM2-HP PicoStation M2-HP Router (also provides wifi coverage to the other...
