Stupid me. I didn't realize NX Witness includes automatic failover for free (you install another server, but it's the cameras that are licensed). They have a youtube video where they are actually running a server on an Intel compute stick with a half dozen 1080P streams and recording with them as a server. I have a slightly larger Fitlet with much more CPU horsepower than a compute stick gathering dust (bought for a different project that I ended up not needing it). I can hook this up to the TV as a client, and when the server goes down for whatever reason, all the cameras will automatically fail over and record on it indefinitely without any additional cost, change in settings or loss of functionality. While this wouldn't work for someone with an existing investment in a hardware DVR or Blue Iris, if someone is looking at a new build, they may want to consider this as an alternative option if they were planning on SD cards in all their cameras for failover. I know with Axxon I would have had to pay for an enterprise license for failover which was never going to happen; I think from a cost and labor perspective this could be similar and a good option for some. I'll test this out in the next few weeks and post back if it works and how well in case anyone is interested.
There is no missing videos between files in BI...i just tested it...are you recording to BVR?
yeah, I didn't look at the files to see if there was any sort of gap, I just noticed one day when the files all ended and new ones were created that the cams all blinked black for a split second, should be happening again in about 7 minutes, I'll watch it and go back and see if the one picks up at the same second the other left off. I am set to record files in 8 hour chunks.
NX Witness has some neat features and dewarping support (though i understand that camera side motion detection is not supported, im guessing their server side is better than the cameras)..at about 70 per camera, its actually a pretty good value compared to others because they offer free upgrades for life.
Okay so, the blink happens, HOWEVER, when I examined the two video files, there is a one second overlap between so the next file includes the last two seconds of the file before it, which is pretty awesome, you do not actually lose anything at all.
You have something in your setup wrong..it has nothing to do with ddns. You ONLY need to setup ddns in ONE of your devices on the network, not in every camera. You only need to forward 554 for tiny cam..port forwarding is not secure and even more dangerous for you since you dont know what you are doing. Think twice..Hello everyone! (Sorry for my english) I received today this cam from BEC Tec., Everything ok arrived in less than three days in Italy, but I have a problem I can not see the cam out of the wifi network with Tiny cam pro, the other cam work perfectly (Foscam, and other) with NO-IP I set in the options, I tried to change ip and port but nothing ... in the port forwarding of the router I put 8089 but I've also tried 3777 and 3778 nothing, the strange thing is that if I put the no-ip host in tinycam options as with the other cam I do not see anything even in wifi, I'm forced to put 192.168.1.20 some help Thanks.
overwrite the oldest, then it's just a rolling record that you can stop right after something goes down so you can pull the video.
except the micro sd card goes farther in than your picture. it should cover the contacts.Done! very simple two screws LOL works perfectly
