Just updated to BI version 5.9.9.43 (4/25/2025) and got a "No Signal" message but only for my Dahua 5442 cams. Annke and Reolink cams experienced no issues. I logged into each Dahua cam by IP address and they work fine. What to change in BI to fix this? They are configured as Generic/ONVIF with...
NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (GS308EPP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 123W
Am running the above switch.
I would like to run 2 Daiwa 5442’s without running 2 separate ethernet cables from the switch to each cam. So the idea of a 2 port splitter comes to mind...

The SADP tool is what I would use to change the IP address of the cam?
Cant seem to get a new Annke set...
Can someone help me understand the signifigance of this? My background with BI and Windows security is weak so I don't know how to react to this. I did search the Internet including this wonderful site but really am at a loss if this should be of concern. Thank you.
I have the usual PC based BI setup with 2 HDDs. New to all this and considering someone could run off with the PC. I know the cams have an SD card backup but are you more exprienced folks using some kind of NAS backup offsite? Or is that overkill because after looking into it, it sure is...
Question Regarding HDD Temps in PC Desktop:
Am running BI using a ThinkCentre M90t Gen 3. It is a full sized desktop. I acquired it with no fans at a really good price new.
Installed a WD Purple 4TB (5400 RPM) and a Seagate Skyhawk AI 10TB (7200 RPM). I never had any problems with the WD temps...
