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. If cable, a switch would be necessary, unless you have 4 free ports on your router - which is unlikely as routers have only 4 port...

Re: Substreams and Foscam R2

TimG...

Re: Handy FOV/Viewing Angle chart

Re: Limit decoding unless required

I did get substream to work in my older Foscam 9826p v2, But, the main stream stopped! I haven't figured that out, and I just gave up on it.
