I value very much the help I get on this site and I'm very grateful if people take the time to comment, but I wish some contributors would remember that a lot of us are just regular guys who are trying to run an IP camera system at our home, we are not computer experts and often need something explained with just a little more detail in order to be following the correct path. The reason I couldn't find the 'help' article on alerts was because I was looking for it on this site, it seemed logical at the time, now of course I know it is to be found within the BI program.
So, now I'm viewing BI remotely using Chrome and IU3, the interface is quite different and I'm still getting used to it. If someone wants to tell me how to fix my previous setup using IE and Activx I'd be interested to hear it - Fenderman says "it's not history, it still works".
The new setup with Chrome has introduced a fresh problem - when I view clips, after a few seconds a big orange box appears in the bottom right saying "Your CPU is not fast enough to handle this stream in real time, consider changing the streaming quality". Sometimes, not so often, it says the same but refers to "network connection" instead of CPU. A typical reading of the CPU on the server computer is 83%, and 90% on the viewing computer so they're not exactly on the limit. And " slow network connection"? My viewing computer is connected directly to the server computer with an ethernet cable! I don't want to "change the streaming quality" because it already looks poor and smudgy compared to what I used to get using IE/activx.
By the way, who is Ken?
