    Profiles Question

    Ok, I think I'm understanding profiles and schedules. So now I introduced geofence and to my surprise it's working. I originally used profile 1 just for recording and set the schedule for profile 2 to add alerts between 7am and 5pm M-F. I've changed the schedules to the default where only...

    Welcome teky. Personally I'd say you can't go wrong with blue iris for what you say you want to do. Combine it with the mobile app and you can do just as you want. Record video on trigger events and send alert emails or better yet, push the alerts to the mobile app. THere are way more features...

    Profiles Question

    I can't access the server from work right now. I'll have to post screenshots tonight But, what I did was go to config>schedule and enabled schedules. Using the Default schedule profile 1 was all green. I left it like that. I went to profile 2 and drew blue between 7am and 5pm M-F. That's it...

    Profiles Question

    I've been lurking around but have not found a definitive answer yet. I just started working with schedules and profiles and I'm still trying to understand them. I've read several threads and I'm almost there. I have a simple setup since this is all new to me. One hk series 2132 running in BI4...

    upload and download

    It really depends on what you do and how many are sing the connection. You already said yo use it for some very big bandwidth hogs. If a few to several are doing those things at the same time, you need more bandwidth. If you were to drop it down to 10meg, you will have unhappy household members...

    HK Series 2132 Cam

    Thanks fenderman. It is actually working fine but as the old saying goes, you don't know what you don't know. So if I discover a feature or a fix in a newer firmware, would be nice to know if I can update it. I'll wait for Ryan or send him an email. Thanks again.

    HK Series 2132 Cam

    Does anyone know if the unbranded HK Series cams from Nelly's can have the firmware updated? I don't know if I'm missing anything in the current firmware, but if I see a feature in a more current firmware I'd like to know if I can update it. My cam currently shows v5.1.6 build 140514

    Triggering BI from HCA

    After much research this weekend and a little help from another HCA user, I have found my solution. I need to tweak it but here is the basics. Using a 3rd party program called BIcommand I can send command line triggers to BI using BI's DDE commands. THis worked perfectly as long as my HCA and BI...

    Triggering BI from HCA

    This is probably something that will be way over my head and not sure if I have the patients to do it, but does anyone know if I can have my Home Control Assistant trigger the cameras in BI to record? Here is a little background and what I would like to do. I have a simple X10 security system...

    Just saying Hey

    Well, I'm currently using a couple of old trendnet (tv-ip512p) cameras with Blue Iris testing things out. Since I like what I see I decided to get my first real camera. I ordered the HK Series Outdoor HD 3MP IP Dome Security Camera 4mm from Nelly's yesterday. So that will become my new front...

    Just saying Hey
