Re: Documentation is more than just lacking, much of it is useless

What is wrong with a help file converted to PDF? You want the info in a different format? Well... I want a pony. LOL. Now that the rant is over.... how can we help you? Yes the help document/file is a bit wordy and flows like natural (very technical) language but... not everyone is an expert tech w...

Re: Direct to Disk recording

Not too long ago I found the amazingness that is D2D and will NOT go back. The only caveat I've found, read, been made aware of is that D2D does not allow you to add BI overlays (because the feed is saved prior to BI processing). I originally had BI adding time and date stamps. I simply configured t...

Re: Hw decoding breaks recording

I have very little to offer here but is the one camera that does not record one of the "new" ones you just added. Just wondering if you have definitely tied the fact it's not recording to the HW decoding or is there just something wonky regarding this one camera? I guess in re-reading, did...

Re: Random IP addresses

Dewcal, So the bottom line is yes, the IPs you're seeing are other addresses on the internet hitting your system. For anything publicly reachable, this is no surprise. Your external address is scanned regularly (by "good" and bad guys). So then the step forward is how to limit/protect from...

Re: Solved-Canon Printer Error 5011

Thanks for the update. I didn't realize so many of us were struggling with printer errors, and particularly 5011 at that.

Re: Random IP addresses

Very interested in your network setup allowing that to happen. Can you share your BI Web Server settings (including the Advanced tab) ** OF COURSE OMIT YOUR IP ADDRESS(ES) **

Then also, do you have port forwarding set up on your router? How did you get your BI Web server to be accessible?

Re: Great Nightvision

Just purchased 2x Amcrest IP5M-1173EB-28MM so we'll see how those work out. Might be a week+ before I can get them installed.

Re: Task tray icon invisible in 5.2.6.3 & 5.2.6.4

Confirmed... although I noticed that I did see it during the 30 second or so delay set before BI "goes live".

Unrelated, I don't think I need any delay but I never changed the default setting.

Re: New to BI and Have Questions

I think 3/4" would do it but I can't be sure (my pigtails are currently far out of reach!). I believe you're close enough that you could fudge it when installing. I wouldn't want to bore it bigger to find you're hole is way bigger than needed. Just my opinion.

Re: Task tray icon invisible in 5.2.6.3 & 5.2.6.4

I've experienced this and have on recent past updates as well. It was back and visible recently though. Glad it's not just me. One of those annoying things but at least the software is still working as expected for me.
