    Questions about how BI 6 handles video storage drives

    Based on my experience, this is excellent advice. I still have a box of twelve 500 Gbyte drives that were left over from some READ project. I was going to use three just experiment but after reading the motherboard manual, the board only supports 0, 1, and 10. None of these are very useful for...

    Questions about how BI 6 handles video storage drives

    I don't understand this. With RAID 5 (3 disks of equal size, 2 for storage + 1 for parity (simplified explanition)), when one drive fails, you switch over to RAID 0 and continue running with no safty net. Swap out dead drive and the merge back in runs concurently with ongoing operations. When...

    Questions about how BI 6 handles video storage drives

    I don't know enough to answer properly. If it can reliably distinguish between people walking and wind blown vegatation then yes.

    Questions about how BI 6 handles video storage drives

    Why is this? That a drive is RAID or not shouldn't even be known to BI. I think.

    Questions about how BI 6 handles video storage drives

    I'm planning on migrating away from BI 5 on a Windows 10 box with six cameras, mostly Reolink 10 Mpixel. I set the video to max resolution and 10 frames per second. Key frame interval is 10-20. Old box is Intel i7-377K with 16 Gbyte RAM, 1 Gbyte C drive (Seagate 1HH162), 6 Tbyte D drive...

    4COVR "HD IP CAMERA" 12 MP (AKA 6K)

    Thank you for the find/inspect reminder. The night vision is OK because 1. I don't have a very large space to cover and 2. there's another camera adding IR light to the scene (top left)

    4COVR "HD IP CAMERA" 12 MP (AKA 6K)

    Just bought this 12 megapixel camera on Amazon for something like $109. It's new - just released April 16th 2025 I think. Works really well with the Android app called "Onvier" Not so good on Blue Iris in fact not at all until you by guess and by golly the RTSP stream URLs I can't find much on...

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    I got this working. I cleaned up the code and used the entire rtsp URL when calculating the response MD5. Most of the sparse docs show just the relative part of the URL, not the absolute. I hope this isn't a camera by camera thing.

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    Can I wake this topic up again with a different problem that deals with the same subject? I send an OPTIONS rtsp message to one camera and get the supported options back. I send it to another camera and get a 'unauthorized' and information for digest authentication. I've got most of it sorted...

    Lesson learned. Thanks to all of you

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    Problem resolved thanks to several people and tools.. It turns out that Reolink cameras demand \r\n on the end of a line and SV3C works with only \n. Both return \r\n. SmartSniff bad (#2) and good (#4)

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    I set up Wireshark and muddled my way through capturing good and bad. I was having difficulty exporting just the parts I wanted so I just did a screen grab of the interesting parts of the display. Yeah, I know.. Anyway, here is 'good' (VLC) and 'bad' (my code). Aside from the ACK value of 73...

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    You probably didn't read this part: "The 'unauthorized' bit at the end is another thing I know how to deal with. I'm not getting that far yet." I'm not getting past "OPTIONS rtsp://192.168.1.147:554/h264Preview_01_main RTSP/1.0"

    Here's the first bit of the VLC log. This is for the Reolink RLC-410 camera. The 'unauthorized' bit at the end is another thing I know how to deal with. I'm not getting that far yet.

    The 1st transaction is always with the RTSP port and I've verified that everyone is using 554. It's not using UDP or the URL would rtscu://...

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    That's a good suggestion on the Wireshark. Haven't used that for years. I'm familiar with the extra line breaks at the end of the messages (same as HTTP). I've tried with several variations. No diff.

    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    I'm writing some code to set up cameras via RTSC. Both of the cameras I have are pretty crappy software wise: Reolink and SV3C. I can get VLC to log the access to both of the cameras OK and I duplicate the OPTIONS transaction exactly as VLC does it. With my code, the SV3C works, the Reolink just...

    SV3C camera software.

    Same results. Most of the camera's 'features' don't work. VLC will talk to it nicely with "rtsp://192.168.1.150:554/11" but I don't particularly want the SV3C PC software on my system so I didn't try it more than once. Firefox won't show the video. Chrome will (at least on my Android cell). IE...

    Need to fix IR flare problem

    The branch was only visible when I had the camera on the ladder. No vegetation is visible in its current location.

    Need to fix IR flare problem

    I mounted the varifocal camera on a stepladder so I could mess with it and the Xeoma software I'm trying. The pics with the golf cart (day + night) are from that setup. The pics looking down on the street (day + fogged night) are from the mounted camera. It's my guess that the white metal beam...
