    Sporadically stops recording?

    Where do I find the DB-folder? Both cameras are wired. Tried to go back on the timeline but no luck. I'm recording to local hd first then moving to a nas. Could it have something todo with moving the clips to the nas? Could that process be too slow or so? It's a QNAP TS-659 Pro+ (Intel based...

    Sporadically stops recording?

    I'm new to BI so I've probably to blame for the issue, but nonetheless I need help figuring out whats going on and how to fix it. For some reason BI sporadically stops recording or at least that's what it looks like to me?

    Snapshot url?

    Hi, I have BI integrated into my Home-Assistant setup through mjpeg, but I would like to get full resolution snapshots instead, is this possible through BI or do I have to get that directly from each camera?

    Starlight vs. regular + extra IR?

    I'm about to install a few more cameras and are looking over the options. Going with 2MP cameras means I need more units to cover the same area with high enough pixel count to ID someone, that lead me to the idea of higher resolution, non-starlight cameras with extra IR-lights. How would that...

    Indoor setup, will this work?

    @bug99 I've updated the drawing after your suggestions (100ppf, which I get to 19.2ft sides of the triangles). Would this mean I wouldn't be able to id a person outside of the triangles?

    What camera/lens would be a good option for this outdoor location?

    Currently I have a Hikvision 4MP 2.8mm sitting at the red dot, you can see what it captures below. Now I'm looking to upgrade that to a Starlight and narrowing the field of view slightly (triangle #1). All numbers are in meter. Here is an image for my current camera. So a few questions...

    HFW5231E-Z5 vs HDW5231R-Z?

    Yeah I saw that the Z5 had a bit more zoom, I'm running 2.8m in about the same location I'll setup this camera but that's a bit too wide. My current setup has the camera in the middle of the surveilled object (my house), but I'm thinking of moving it ~13feet to the side so I would need it a bit...

    HFW5231E-Z5 vs HDW5231R-Z?

    I was just about the pull the trigger on a HDW5231R-Z when I saw the new 2017 model Z5, a bullet though but with alarm in which could be useful.. Does anyone here have any experience with these two and/or could give an educated guess what differences could be expected?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    This is my Hikvision 2DS2142 4MP in night mode, I thinking about replacing it with this camera. What could I expect, how much better would it work in these conditions and how much details would I loose due to the reduced resolution? Thanks in advance :)

    Image goes black and fades up again?

    I have such a strange issue with my DS-2CD2142FWD-IWS (4MP) camera running v5.4.1 (tried v5.4.2 too). The image goes black and then fades back again, this happens in like 2sec and it's doing it over and over again, but sometimes it's running ok for a while. I have no clue what might be causing...

I don't want to drill holes and pull wire all around my house and I don't even have network in my garage so that's why I'm hoping to solve this wirelessly.

    My goal is to trigger an event on motion which then runs a series of action in my home automation system, one being sending a push notification with a snapshot from the camera. I'm not sure if I want to record everything or just on motion and I haven't gotten into NVR-stuff yet.. What's the...

    Buying advice: Is this (DS-2CD2142FWD-IW) a good choice?

    Why are they terrible? If you have a large installation I can see the issue, same with a large wifi or lot's of wifi's in this air disturbing the signal. Do you mean they dropout? Are they unreliable? Do the video stream lagg over wifi?

    I'm looking to setup a surveillance system, but as I have no experience with these camers I'm going to start with one to make sure they are what I'm looking for. So this one will be mounted outdoors and be pointing to my house. The triangle I'm looking to film is about 14m wide and each side...
