    BI Running on MAC

    I have always run BI from a VM on my Mac.... I use Fusion (parallels has never been super robust for me), running Win 10 Pro. (8 gigs ram allocated to this VM) The VM machine reports around 40% CPU utilization with 9 cameras at 1080p or more (15 fps), all direct-to-disc recording.... The Mac...

    Tapcon Screws vs Sleeve and Anchor for Brick Wall Installation

    If it is a mini turret cam, (not a big honking old school unit), I would normally use plastic anchors... They are more than strong enough (if you get them from a fastener house, not the dollar store downtime street). Typical example: http://www.toggler.com/pdf/alligator.pdf The AF6 takes...

    Tapcon Screws vs Sleeve and Anchor for Brick Wall Installation

    Tapcons are my last choice.... Too many times they either strip out or stall before fully to depth and break off. The quickest and sturdiest fasteners are these bad boys: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Red-Head-1-4-in-x-3-in-Hammer-Set-Nail-Drive-Concrete-Anchors-25-Pack-35207/203064111 Note...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    Configuring these has a steep learning curve. The only thing I use is the CMS Software on the disc (its all I ever had success with and it is reliable once you get the hang of it). Probably a wise idea to install it on a VM... TNO ... LOL And all I use is the RTSP stream. The web interface...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    Warning: a bit of a thread hi-jack.... I have got more enjoyment out of these little cams than all my others, include a 20x PTX beast with all the bells and whistles. They are way better than the TOP-201's (anybody want one? lol) and the picture quality is very good, nighttime performance...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    Thats funny, I have one of these I'm my garage too, but aimed a mouse trap... I have a critter that is outsmarting me! These silly little cameras are working so well (and they are quite tiny) that I am thinking of replacing all my high priced cameras ! I have noticed no heat issues so far.

    New setup questions

    I run multiple vm's with blue iris. It is well behaved. You can easily run 4 - 6 vm's on your server. The 5 camera system would be a very very light footprint on your server. Remember, if you go crazy with the vm's you may run into network saturation issues. (But it sounds like you have a...
