    Tony R, I apologize for that (what is so confusing about that) remark, it's not been a good day for me. Just to be clear it is the same camera and for now at least seems to be working ok since I connected it to the ethernet switch. Again my apologizes.

    Mine is not POE. I have switched from a 1amp to a 2amp power supply but made no difference. Thanks for the info though.

    It is the same camera, it can run wireless or wired, what is so confusing about that. I certainly do not remember ever saying it had no ethernet port. I might have said it's not POE but you do know they do make cameras with ethernet ports that are not POE. You connect it wired (ethernet) to...

    Well it looks like putting them a separate drives has made it much better. Not perfect but much better so I will leave it like this for now. Thank you so much to everyone for their advice who helped me with this.

    Camera Freezes

    My Timetec drive is a one TB drive and has 850GB free space. I do not use hardware acceleration it is set to no. I don't use any alerts or anything else in B.I. except record. I have it set to record five second videos for all cameras. I review the main camera videos every morning and delete...

    Thank you for the info. I have two solid state HDs that I already do use (WD Blue SA510 2.5 500GB & Timetec 30TT253X2-IT ) and a Intel Core i7-4790K 3.60GHz CPU that is the best CPU I can put in my motherboard.( ASUS B85M-E Motherboard bios 3602). Also running (Win. 10x64 with 24GB Ram). I would...

    From what I understand the only reason you need internet for a security camera is if you want to view them from anywhere or want alerts and so on. I just need them to record to my hard drive at nighttime and that's it.

    It's been connected directly to my router the last few days so I'm sure it could find internet if it needed it. Everything I have been told is security cameras don't need internet. I think I will go ahead and contact the company and see what they have to say. One thing I can say about them is...

    That's what I did a few days ago and it has not gone dead after that. I have noticed though after I shut down B.i. I then connect to IP Cam Viewer in the mornings just to be able to view what is going on and it seems like when I shut it down and switch back to B.I. the camera is not there. I...

    Camera Freezes

    That's what bugs me. It worked and didn't lose connection when connected to the router, the video would freeze sometimes is what I was asking about from the start and it was suggested to use a NIC switch to solve that and it seemed to do that. But that is when it would go dead for hours and then...

    Ok the cable tested good so I don't know what is wrong. It does better wireless than wired except for the video freezing. Could the ethernet cable next to the power cable for only about three feet be a problem? It is unshielded cable. But it works good all night.

    Well I haven't got my tester yet but I did switch the camera over to wireless two days ago and it has not gone dead. It does lose connection sometimes for a minute or so I'm sure because of it being wireless. I guess that tells me the camera is ok I'm not sure. I will check the cable when my...

    Well it did the same thing with leaving B.I. running. I checked it about 10:30Am and it was dead, came back on around 1:30PM and went dead again around 2PM. I checked the voltage all the way to the camera and it is good. I even replaced it with a 2amp instead of the 1amp 12v power supply to no...
