    APC backup power supply questions…

    I use small UPS units similar TonyR's APC BE600M1 on tons of toys. All are single battery units. In my rural area, blips in the power are too common so they keep my PC's, Poe switches, routers, ISP gateways, TV's etc safely powered without interruption. I do not have a whole home generator but...

    Camera Options...Help Me Find A Camera

    I am a fan of the Revotech's and have 5 in my current Blueiris setup. That pinhole only needs about a 3/16 inch hole but the tip of the lens needs to be flush with the exterior of the wall. Some come with an exterior microphone that works very well. Note that they do not have IR.

    Hello all

    Welcome as this is the place to be as there are soooo many smart folks here from around the world who are willing to help. Your choice to purchase from EmpireTech was a wise decision.

    Version 6

    I have absolutely no problems on Win 10 Pro version 20H2 on an I7-4790, 16 Gig ram and 34 cameras but I only play with AI on 2 or 3 cameras at a time.

    Can't record over 5 days

    Why not assign the amount of your drive that you wish to use and uncheck the "Limit clip age" box The example attached allocates 8 TB which is 80% of my 10 TB drive. Select DELETE as there is no need to move to another location.

    Use the camera OS or Blue Iris for setting up cameras?

    I agree with wittaj but I do a lot of PTZ presets thru BI.

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    I think you may have gotten the last one of that particular camera. Note that the link from my search shows it with a black face and it has info explaining how to set up auto tracking. amazon/funxwe now shows a link to one with a white face but no info on settings and the link to my cheaper one...

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    They (funxwe AKA wind and snow) have one listed on scamazon with similar specs for $119.99. Out of boredom I ordered one to play with. Will let you guys know how the toy performs. From the reviews on their other products, they need protection from rain.

    WTB PTZ425DB-AT or 25X PTZ Camera

    I'm sure it will not function as well as a Dahua or Empire Tech but have played with some of these cheaper ones. For $139. I would experiment. Though it says it has 30x zoom, they frequently fall short. Some will have 20x optical and say +10x digital which is really meaningless. They fail to...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    Here is a quick video where I will disable a camera then reenable it. Sometimes the cursor did not show properly. All of the pop out menus were from right clicks. Note that you have to get out of the "Edit Layout" screen before selecting a camera to enable. The video did not show my mouse moving...

    Once you click it then right click and uncheck the option to hide disabled cameras. The disabled cams will show on your screen with the active cameras but then you have to click the edit layout again to continue normal operations and remove the cameras numbering from the screen. Then you may...
