    BI4 and DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14(F0) TandemVu

    Thanks for your reply, can you confirm on your BI6 installation that there is an option to set a Cam1 and Cam2 for a single network cam IP? After searching the forum, I haven't been able to find anyone who has upgraded from BI4 to BI6. I'm wondering what the best way to upgrade would be. I'm...

    BI4 and DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14(F0) TandemVu

    Hello all, Happy New Year! I know this is a long shot, but... I purchased the above camera to use with my old BI4 installation not knowing how the whole TandemVu deal would implement.

    Upgrading Hard Drive, and Moving Folder Locations

    Wouldn't that leave a bunch useless crap in the database file? Does the database purge that stuff during nightly clean up? I currently have my "alerts" and "new" folder on my SSD C drive along with Windows and BI. I have a 2tb HHD where the "stored" folder lives. I want to move the "new" folder...

    Upgrading Hard Drive, and Moving Folder Locations

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think I have any video that I need to save, starting fresh is not a bad idea. Going that route, what does the DB file think about all the missing video? I assume you need to regenerate the DB after the update to the settings, or do you delete the DB file and let BI...
