Wonder what I...

    Remember the old Geico commercials..... "So easy a caveman can do it" ??? Yeah --- that was me tonight when it finally worked...LOL That Ui3 interface is NIIIICE! Way nicer and way more useful than Tinycam was with the old setup. Now on to fine tuning stuff I guess.....gotta get my DLINK...

    SUCCESS! Did some more poking around tonight after just stepping away from it for the day. re-read the help file and the wizard --- "firewall" kept catching my attention. Two things --- Turns out my AVAST firewall was set for "public network"......set it for "trusted private network" and...

    As an aside....how long do you folks save your bvr files? I did a test run of my three cameras on a 600 gb drive partition of my c drive...and I got about 6 days. I just upgraded to a 4 tb skyhawk drive.....if I am doing my math right that is in the ballpark of 45+ days.....plenty for my...

    Brillcam POE dropping

    So, once I get the dual nic installed (on its way from amazon as we speak along with a skyhawk drive) the cameras will once again have to have their IP address changed... Now... before I got the Asus router, and when the cameras were using 10.0.0.XX addresses thru the Comcast gateway/router...

    I celebrated too soon. Web is back, but now my POE cams, which were working and connected before the windows update, are not able to connect. UGH A reboot of the unmanaged switch didnt help. When I was just using the comcast gateway/router the cameras had IP adresses of 10.0.0.xx The two POE...

    Looks like a windows update was preventing internet. I allowed the restart, it updated for a half hour and now web is back...! WOOHOO Still unsure as to why each PC is now connected to as different named network....the BI PC is connected to "network 3. But hey...web is back.

    So by selecting "age" it will keep "everything" regardless of age until the drive gets to thepoint where it is as full as the "file size" allows then? Makes sense. With my tiny drive right now, pretty sure I wont get 14 days anyhow...LOL

    Ok that must be it..... I was reading that limit as individual file sizes......duh. Looks like the "new" clips add up to just under 10 GB..... I read somewhere in the manual that you should not "fill" the drive.....I'll set it for 600 GB --- the drive holds 680 GB....that leaves 12%-ish...
