Out of disk space and not recording
Oh! I see what you mean. I don't believe that kind of feature is built into the software. Perhaps you can suggest it on their Github page here: https://github.com/ispysoftware/iSpy/issues

- Security camera system suggestions for self hosted.

The privacy loophole in your doorbell
It claims to be open source but it seems to be only in name. The web site says you can use it for free for personal use, but such a claim makes it NOT open source by definition. (Source-available at best.)
I had to dig really hard to find a link to github (https://github.com/ispysoftware/iSpy) but I get the impression from the README and lack of activity that this repo was superceded by another product from the same company, and that appears to be what the main website is marketing for download/payment. And according to the license file, some rather important bits of it are not open source at all.

Check Firewall
The organizations that distribute IP addresses to the world reserves a range of IP addresses for private networks. 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (65,536 IP addresses) 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (1,048,576 IP addresses) 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (16,777,216 IP addresses) I changed my IP scheme to 10.4.20.x and the issue is now resolved.

Did BI get hacked or did it just go down?
I'd have to circle back and look again because it's been a few years. I was able to get Zoneminder to do 95% of what I wanted even if it felt a bit clunky. Shinobi was an up-and-comer last time I was looking around, but I remember having some frustrations and decided to stick with BI.
- Open source free camera recording?

Need a robust RTSP viewer for multi-user office
Shinobi: Very easy to setup and customize, but there's a 5+ second lag on the video feed vs. IRL

NVR Software reccomendations
If cost is a concern: shinobi.video is about the best I've ever seen. Integrated s3/bucket abilities, killer support, and can handle truely brain-breaking amounts of cameras. Otherwise, as others have mentioned: Milestone is damn nice.

Recommend me a good nvr solution
Have I got the software for you! Shinobi is the solution! Simple setup! Ninja easy! Sexy interface? Check. Easy setup? Yep. More than 4 camera streams at once? You got it. Person/Motion/Object detection? Yes, with the caveat that you really should use a GPU for it. PTZ? Uh-huh!
- Software for viewing footage from multiple cameras recommendations?
- Current NVR technology, looking for best option that doesn't end up costing me more than needed
- what can I do other then CCTV for home security
- What is the best Free preferably open source NVR?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing iSpy and Shinobi you can also consider the following projects:
frigate - NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras
Zoneminder - ZoneMinder is a free, open source Closed-circuit television software application developed for Linux which supports IP, USB and Analog cameras.
