I knew I had read something like this before, and found it was your earlier thread. I thought you had fixed it there

I would suggest contacting BP2008 as he created the UI3 being used with BI5. I think he has user accounts here and on the dark side forum, but he is also on Github.

If you use UI3 on the BI5 pc, can you view the videos ? i.e. use the remote browser viewer on the BI5 pc itself.

There IS powerline ethernet. I use the newer G.hn variants to get ethernet to places where I don't want to drill holes. Have a look here for TP-Link PG2400 type devices (UK). MUCH faster and a better connection than any of the older HomePlug AV/AV2 powerline adapters protocols. Recommended.

In fact I think you can still update a V4 licence that way, so yes, it should give you the latest versions.

As I understand it, it gives you 12 months of new V5+ releases.

BI5 works with IP cams and the odd analogue cam with the right card. Zigbee is a control protocol rather than a camera protocol - what do you have in mind ?

Yes, but look at the good news !

We are here

Rather difficult without knowing things like price range, fixed/ varifocal or ptz etc. Pogo has previously said: If I might make a suggestion that would be nearly perfect for your situation at only $25 US, take a look at the TP-Link Tapo C110. An incredible camera for the price and is even ONVIF 20....

I think we have discussed this before. My view is that if you run your cameras on a different LAN with no internet connection, it doesn't matter which mothership the cameras attempt to connect to.

Full screen ads ? That's what he who shall not be named boasted about when he banned me from there for helping somebody here with a firmware file.
Cough - PiHole - cough...
