    Main stream when solo - Check FPS and key rates

    Wow... It's always the little stuff. I hit so many settings but the one that solved it was setting hardware decode from Default to No. Now it's working. I was assuming default was unchanged since it was working previously. Maybe one of the updates this year toggled it.

    Main stream when solo - Check FPS and key rates

    Ok I did it again but from scratch and even used different camera name and still the same. Maybe I just need to do the whole factory resetx3 chart and readd... etc

    Main stream when solo - Check FPS and key rates

    Tried other ports and swapped several around still same. Deleted camera and readded with .reg import and same... I'm going to buy another switch just in case it's the whole unit. If that doesn't work I may just live with it because triggered main stream works. It's really only a minor...

    Main stream when solo - Check FPS and key rates

    All of my cameras are POE to the same switch. If the switch is failing would I see it on all the cameras? I don't see it on my 2 continuous cameras. Cameras are on h.264, CBR, SSA off (but some do have WDR backlight). And the main stream works, just not when I solo the camera for live view.

    Main stream when solo - Check FPS and key rates

    All of my cameras that run on sub stream can't seem to display main stream when I solo the camera anymore. It used to work but sometime in the past few months it stopped and I'm not sure if it was an update or not. I'm on 5.9.9.98 but it happens on 5.9.9.73, too. All of my cameras are Empiretech...

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Nevermind, i'm stupid. It was because i was connecting that PC via wifi and was on a different band than the C110. Good lord I spent way more time on that than I care to admit. Got it working. Thanks for the $15 suggestion. Can't wait to deploy this.

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Yep so my home router which has access to the internet is 192.168.50.1. The BI PC connects on 192.168.50.200 via wifi for internet access to that box. The BI machine has 2 network adaptors: ethernet where my switch connects containing 3 current cameras on 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, and...

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to try this out. I didn't consider a cheap wifi cam for something that didn't need the extra horsepower. Trying to follow all of those instructions but my BI machine is on a different subnet (192.168.1.1 ethernet from ip cam switch) than my router...

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Gotcha, so probably not just a case of splicing wires. Was searching around if anyone had converted a cam like that before but couldn't find anything.

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Camera

    Thinking this might be a stupid/quick question that I just had a hard time finding answers to. There's a camera integrated into the garage door opener. It goes to a MyQ app but i don't pay for storage or anything so if i ever look at the feed have to open app but obviously no storage since i...

    PC died - Transfer data

    Thanks. Yes have a 10tb hdd surveillance drive where everything stores. I'm not too worried about the data on it. Only thing I really care about is how I'm going to move forward without wasting too much money. I don't mind spending but hate wasting. Also, it would be sort of cool to keep BI...

    PC died - Transfer data

    I'm pretty good with PCs but trying to think about easiest less intrusive way to transfer data. I was using a used Optiplex 5080 as my surveillance PC. It froze up and died about 2 weeks ago when I was at desk. I restarted and it and then it didn't recognize my boot drive where BI is installed...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Alright I think I'm sold. Found a couple reviews threads here. Was initially worried about the sensor size for the newer 4MP version but seems other members are using it with success. My plan now is put the boobie above/near doorbell towards corner, aim one for facial recognition, aim one for...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    So with that boobie cam. I'm reading a few threads here on it now. It's basically just 2 cams in 1 run off the same POE line? Let's say I installed it near my doorbell which is perpendicular to my door. Could I say, aim 1 down the walk way to see approach and the other towards the doormat area...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Where did you get the wedge cam? I see the newer one but it's 4MP with a 1/2.8" sensor where the one you have is 2MP with 1/2.8" sensor. Edit: Wait nevermind I think it was discontinued. Here's a dumb question. The 1 camera I have now is vari focal but how do I imitate 2.8mm vs 3.6mm? Just zoom...
