    Thanks for suggestion - no reason other than a "newer" format / ability and wondering if there was any advantage in using it.

    Moving BIv6 to new Win 11 PC

    One further query if I may? Before I move BI v6.x to the new PC, I am wondering if there is a current "idiots guide" as to how set the cameras up? I can see one from a couple of years ago which suggests only using H264 but am wondering if that is still current advice with v6 apparently having...

    Moving BIv6 to new Win 11 PC

    I am wondering if someone could point me to a current method of transferring my BIv6 installation to a new Windows 11 PC. I assume that I can just copy the various saved recordings to a similar directory strucre on the new PC.. I would prefer not to have to set all my cameras again - hopefully...

    Repeated disk overallocation

    Many thanks for the suggestions - appreciated. All cameras at 15fps. Will look at partitioning C drive - not sure I have connections for a third drive in the PC. Any reason why "new" and "stored" should not be on the same drive?

    Repeated disk overallocation

    I am using a headless Windows 11 PC (i7-8700 with 32Gb RAM, 25oGb C SSD and 12 Tb Seagate HDD) using some 25 wired cameras - a mixture of Hikvision for security and "Chinese" for nature watching, bird boxes etc. The PC runs 24/7 and is also used for Homeseer (Home automation) and CumulusMX...

    Confused over frame rates, codecs and bitrates....

    Many thanks for response, information and links - appreciated. H264 with CBR appears most stable. My query re hardware acceleration was not so much should it be used, but is there a difference in the settings between "default" and "no" on the BI page? Thanks again.

    Confused over frame rates, codecs and bitrates....

    I am using BI v5.9.1.3x64 with 20 cameras of various kinds - 18 are IP/POE and 2 are Wi-Fi. The PC is running at about 7% CPU and 30% memory utilisation. Half of the cameras are full time recording. All bar one camera has the sub stream set up. All cameras connect to the BI PC via Cat6 cable...

    Intermittent data feed from IP Cameras

    Thanks for suggestion of the dielectric grease. DOn't think corrosion would be an issue here as all components were new. Grease has now been used since we got the systems / connections working so hopefully they will stay working! Great news on the BB chicks - lovely to hear. Most of my nest...
