Re: Motion Detection Indicator

I'm note sure. But, you can always send BI Support a message about it.

Re: Cloud shadows

Have you tried 'Cancel Shadows'? This may reduce triggers, but it will not eliminate them.

I use 'Zone Triggering' on a few cameras, which has reduced triggers caused by clouds to almost none.

You could send BI Support a request to add those controls.

Re: Camera overwriting past video sessions

Could you post a screen shot of the BI settings 'Clip and archiving' tab? Here's how to change the Clip arch...

Re: BI is only showing one of my 4 cameras

The Amcrest NVR you have connects to your router via an Ethernet cable. It does not have Wifi. Your cameras can connect to your router either via wifi or Ethernet cable.

Re: Elementary Question!

There is a round-about way using a clone of the camera. You can't 'follow' an object.. But, you can move the camera in the direction that the object is moving. This is done with 1 or more clones of the camera. Basically, using the original camera, setup a cross-zone moving left to right. Have the ca...

Yes, there are two options for suspending motion detection on PTZ movement. In the cameras settings 'PTZ/Control' tab... - Check the 'Suspend motion detection' box. This is the default. - 'Max travel time/motion delay'. Set this to the max time it takes to move the camera to the PTZ preset. For exam...

Re: Substreams and Foscam R2

Thanks TimG.

Tried those settings. Still having the issue. I think this is a lost cause.
