    Recommendation for outdoor lamp post mounted netcam?

    Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for network camera that I can mount on a flat vertical surface, like a lamp post, that will be focused on the front of my house. It would have to be a POE outdoor camera so I can avoid local ordinances on burying high voltage electrical cable under my...

    Cameras losing signal

    Thanks for the quick reply. Apologies for being a noob, but I'm not sure what you mean by "pulling the rtsp stream using VLC". Can you elaborate?

    Cameras losing signal

    Any update on this error? I have upgraded all (3) of my "junk cams" (Foscam FI9831P) to the most currently available firmware, and downgraded BI to the 32 bit (last night) as fenderman suggested. Please note, even though this camera is tanked according to BI, I was able to login to the Foscam...

    Recording/Alerts Schedule

    Thanks. Now I just have to figure out external access and whether or not I should purchase the BI Android app. I really don't need another camera "viewing" app as the "IP Cam Viewer" Android app works just fine for my purposes. But I would like to have my cameras record upon audio detection...

    Recording/Alerts Schedule

    Hello. Please pardon the newbie question but I can't seem to find the answer yet. I am a recovering Dropcam user (anybody want to buy 3 Dropcam HD's?). I have unplugged 2 of my 3 Dropcams and replaced them with 3 Foscam 9831P cameras. I also have 2 Panasonic BB-HCM381A netcams. I am using...
