    BI Crash

    Hey Guys, I was having some issues with my BI machine crashing throughout the night. I ended up determining that there were some corrupt system files which I was able to replace and stop the crashes from occurring. Last night, BI appears to have crashed around 2am. Upon checking Event Viewer I...

    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    I initially tried doing the keystones without a punch down tool and it resulted in failure every time. Once I got the punch down, I have not had an issue on the keystone end.

    Poor Ambient Lighting - IR Illumination or White lighting?

    Dumb question, but confirm that you have the black insert in that dome, which stops some of the IR from reflecting around. I did the same thing once, and forgot to put the black insert back in...looked exactly like your picture. Once I put it back in and cleaned the dome with glass cleaner it...

    How Do You Terminate Cat5 Cable?

    I would highly recommend that if you have the money you use Platinum Tools EZ-RJ45 connectors. They have holes to push the cables through and get a very tight fit, almost as good as a prefab cable. The tool is a little expensive (about $70) and the connectors are about 50 cents a piece, but...

    Sorry, I left out the word similar in between turrets and the. I meant to ask if the Hiks will perform as well as these.

    Community Pool Installation Pics

    @hook3m nice work, looks very good. Are those turrets the 4mp Hikvision 2342WD-I version? Also, what is the lighting situation out there? The night vision seems to have great range.

    4.2.9.3

    I know I am new and really just learning here. However, to question @fenderman about his knowledge or defense of BI seems foolish. I certainly believe that he has 20 PERFECTLY running machines. I have only been into this as a hobby for about three months but he has helped me personally at least...

    Assistance with alarms...Hik 2CD2732F-IS

    @SquareEyes, not a bad proposal. My issue is that the cameras are mounted under the eve, which is in front of the garage. So they are pointing outward. I could install another camera at an angle which grabs the garage door, but figured the display would be a handy addition. With your proposal, I...

    Assistance with alarms...Hik 2CD2732F-IS

    Hello all, I haven't been able to see if this was discussed on another thread, but if it has just redirect me there. I have two Hikvision 2CD2732F-IS domes near my garage door. I would like to somehow set up a door sensor and display the status on the screen. Such as "garage open" "garage...

    Free Anti Virus Option For Numerous Machines with Remote Monitoring

    Hey All, I came across an anti-virus product which can be installed on numerous machines and then monitored from a cloud-based console. So if you provide support for several customers or family members around the country this may be an option for you. I installed it last night on my BI machine...

I apologize for the delay in responding, as I was stuck at work. The iframe interval is set at 50, frame rate is 25 on the camera config, and exposure is...

    Black Video on Playback

    Hey Guys, I'm hoping that there is a simple fix for this, but I have tried changing a lot of settings and it has not helped me out. I have two cameras, a Hik 2142FWD-I and a 2042WD which are acting up and I am unsure as to why. Both cameras are fine and view able on live view. The clips that...

    @beardog what thepeacockranch said. Also, use IE or Firefox. Seems to have helped me when setting my Hiks up.

    Alright guys, I am stuck and need your help with stunnel. I have it set up and can access on https://192.168.1.200:8777 from that local machine. I can not access the login on the LAN nor from the outside. I have tried many variations of the port forwarding but must be missing something. Here are...

    Storage Question

    @bob2701 no problem at all. My comment to you was more of a confirming question as opposed to a matter of fact. This is all new to me and I surely appreciate your advice.Thanks!

    @bob2701 That seems like a decent idea. Same thing as storage spaces pretty much.

    Storage Question

    Alright everyone, I am learning every day and seem to be making progress on the implementation of my first system (thanks in large part to this forum). Here's my latest question. I have 2 4tb WD purple drives in my PC dedicated to video storage in addition to my system SSD. I have BI writing to...

    @pbowen2112 do you mind uploading some sample images from that cam? I'm thinking about getting an LPR cam and came across these. Just curious if they are worth the money.

    Newbie Issues With BI Port Forwarding Fios Router

    Hey Guys, I am new to all of this stuff and have been fumbling through it. I finally go BI set up with two Hikvision cameras. Everything seems to be running well on the local network, with the exception of some video tweaking. The issue I am having is getting port forwarding on my router to...

    Hello, just a few questions and my intro

    Ok, I got it. Thanks guys. I am sure that I will have a lot more questions as I progress through this journey. Next up, I need to decide on cameras to get started.

    Hello, just a few questions and my intro

    Yes, I am on a private network. Ok, so in that layout, it will go from my router to the switch, which will go to the PC as well as the two POE switches which will be directly connected to the cameras correct? I just want to make sure that the camera system doesn't bog down the rest of the...

    Hello, just a few questions and my intro

    I believe that I need the second network card in order to connect the camera side switch to the PC. Right now, my tower only has one ethernet port/network card. My thought process was that by having the second card, where the switch from the cameras goes directly, all of that traffic is between...
