Has anyone tried or know if we can link BI to a camera that is not on the BI network and use BI as a "cloud". Most cameras today can run without a DVR and they allow a micro SD card to be inserted into the camera that can be used to record video. The new cameras can also record to a cloud....

I have a Amcrest IP8M-FCT2999EW-AI it is a 2 way talk camera. It works with BI as expected; however the speaker on the camera is not very loud. It has both audio in and audio out RCA jacks. I am assuming that I can add an after market microphone and an aftermarket speaker. Is there any reco on where...

Excellent advice to divide the cameras between the 2 disks. This will result in a huge performance improvement. Prior to your suggestion I did not understand that I could configure each camera to store on a different drive. I also increased the storage to 8000GB per drive. All looks good thank you!!...

I only set the limit to 10GB for new & 10GB for alerts that I am storing on my C drive which is 500GB. When it hits 10GB it moves it to My V drive. The videos can stay on my V drive for 8 days then they get moved to my z drive for another 8 days.

The delete and regenerate finished but the drive over quota error is still there. I checked the log but do not see any mention of a quota error in the log

Bi 5.7.9.12 I am trying to regen now thank you

I am running W11 with 16 GB ram 500GB c drive and 2 12 T video drives. I am doing some tuning so I moved my BI New and alerts to the C drive, then I deleted and regenerated the DB.
