    Setting up BI Remote Access w/ iPhone - intermittent connections

    Clips / Archiving settings clarification

    So Basically to save all clips to same folder "New" and start deleting the oldest recording once there is less than say 30GB of space on the drive I would set it up as follows, then I don't have to worry about any of the other Folder settings (Stored, Alerts, Aux 1)?

    Clips / Archiving settings clarification

    I got my 3TB WD Purple drive installed today, I only have 6 cameras recording direct-to-disc and setting it up and have a few questions: 1) I saw that the DB should be located on the local (C:) drive, will having the DB on the C: and the clips on the WD Purple drive affect performance when...

    Increasing resolution/streaming when remoting in.

    I'm having trouble increasing the resolution when remoting in to BLUE via IP. Basically, I set one camera up for one user. When I'm testing it on my iPhone and remoting into the camera via IP address, username/password, the video isn't clear (on LTE Data). Is this a limitation off the...

    I hear ya. But if it's pure daylight only not worried about any night shots, that is the only small benefit of the higher MP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alternative to the IPC-HDW5231R-Z...

    True makes sense. Reason I was saying varifocal is just if I need say 3-4mm once it mounted high up in eve/sofit. Takes guess work out of everything. But you're right 2.8 Hell see everything and if he wants good images higher MP since that's his main focus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I am planning on about 3-4 of the IPC-HDW5231R-Z, a IPC-HDBW4231F-AS for inside the home, but my friend wants a higher megapixel varifocal for the backyard, to not act as primarily purposed security camera, but to watch over as much "backyard" space as possible while kids are out there...

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    What's the major difference between the IPC-HDB4231C-AS & IPC-HDBW4231F-AS? Astetics? I pulled up both specs side by side and seem to be identical. Looking for an indoor cam for baby/kids room.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I know it's been addressed but can't find page/thread.... can someone explain why 2mp is much better than 4mp when it comes to low light. Also assuming the downside is during day / quality of image/video if you have a 2mp vs 4mp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
