    BI "holding "MAC address?

    Tony, Thanks for reply. I have a pool of IP addresses I bind to the MAC addresses reserved on the router - I keep a small pool available for visitors etc. I like the idea of the last three digits in the name - would save me looking up the ARP table each time I have a query! I suspect that my...

    BI "holding "MAC address?

    Am not sure if the title is the correct terminology. I had an EZVIZ DB1, with a fixed IP address allocated by the router, storing video through BI (5.6.8.4) without any issues. As my house is blessed with thick walls, the Wi-Fi connection to the DB1 was patchy so I decided to replace same...

    SeaMAX.dll is missing

    @tmushy - never did find a solution. Even did a clean re-install of the software to no effect. It still happens every time I start up the programme from scratch even thought he file is present and in the correct folder. Am not aware that this fault stops the programme from working, but what do...

    TUYA POE Doorbell

    @sebastiantombs - Thanks for this - had no idea the "boobie" cams existed! Seems like a good solution. I would need to make up some kind of a mounting brackets as the front door / porch has about a six inch protrusion all around so mounting will be a challenge. I would not wish to drill holes...

    TUYA POE Doorbell

    @sebastiantombs - Have my eye on a Hikvision minidome that I can put on a mounting brackets - that way I hope that the IR will miss the porch wall and not be a waste of time. Need to investigate if BI allows two way audio via the android app....

    Link to Homeseer - syntax?

    @pete_c Many thanks for info but, you will realise how dense I am, as I have great trouble creating events. For two main reasons, firstly, when I set conditions, save them, then actions and save them - if I try to run the event manually to see if it works my "saved" information appears to get...
