    Natural Gas Generators

    It's too bad there isn't a true 50A tri-fuel inverter portable generator. Even priced at $5k they would fly off the shelves. I've not seen any tri-fuel generator rated for more than about~30A and that is running on gasoline only.

    Natural Gas Generators

    Yeah, I've looked into an even bigger one from the same company: The issue is on NG, it can only supply ~5900w which is ~24.5A. It would basically allow us to power everything EXCEPT the A/C and dryer. Dryer I don't care about obviously.

    Natural Gas Generators

    Yeah your setup is sweet. That is a liquid cooled monster. You could run your neighbor's house and yours at the same time!

    Natural Gas Generators

    The A/C is on a 30A breaker. The RLA on the outside unit shows 20A. In-rush current is much higher without a soft start wired in. I'd have to ask my HVAC company that did my A/C install if they could wire it in.

    Natural Gas Generators

    Well just had both my local Kohler and Generac dealer/electricians come out for a quote. Still waiting on both quotes. Kohler wants to do 26kw (I could probably size down to the 20kw) and the Generac dude wants to do a 24kw. These are the air cooled NG models. We will see how many zeros they...

    Problem installing IPC-T54IR-ZE -- Default Port & IP?

    This. Haven’t used a cross over cable since the late 90s!

    Frame Bottleneck

    Ive been seeing this a lot as well. Seems to happen often when you enable/disable a camera that has audio also enabled. Disabling audio seems to help. There was a thread about it a few days ago here: Having an issue with 5.9.1.0

    Was looking into mini computer for a new Blue iris build. Thoughts on this

    I put one of these NUCs in my fathers house a couple years ago for his BI installation. I put a 4TB NVME SSD inside it. The thing is wonderful. It's small and quiet and perfect for his 4 camera setup around his home.

    Could BlueIris 6.0 be around the corner?

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for a new version anytime soon. V5 is a major update to V4 if that is what you are currently running. It does tons of more things.

    Could BlueIris 6.0 be around the corner?

    What do you want in v6 that is missing in v5?

    Having an issue with 5.9.1.0

    It is/was definitely an audio issue. Disabling audio in my cameras makes the feeds come back much more quickly from the disabled state vs when audio is enabled. Glad he fixed it.

    Home insurance rate increases

    Yeah I’m at 12 years now and it has gone through a few hurricanes and patch jobs re-adding shingles that were lost. Not looking forward to a $10k roofing bill when the times comes.

    Zoomed view on streams

    I’ve seen this problem. Only thing that I could figure out to do was delete the camera and re-add it. That fixed it for me.

    Home insurance rate increases

    The problem is could you afford to either rebuild or buy another home if you got wiped out? There isn't a house for sale in my county that is less than $300k. It would be like us starting over if I dropped insurance and had to buy a new house again with no equity or insurance money from this...

    Home insurance rate increases

    I'm in Florida. Our rates have skyrocketed. Nothing you can do but pay it. Too many hurricanes to give insurance companies the middle finger. I know plenty of people that didn't have insurance when hurricane Michael came calling back in October of 2018. They. Lost. Everything.

    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    This. All three of my sites that I have connected with site-to-site VPNs I have BI installations at all three. One of them I use a NUC with a Samsung 4TB SSD in it. Been going strong for a couple years now. Runs nice and cool and dead quiet.

    LPR setup help

    You will get some. But you will miss far more in color than you will in B/W.

    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    It will depend on if your router supports it. It’s called site-to-site VPN. I use Peplink routers in three locations and have all three of them running in a site-to-site VPN so I can access all of them from any of the three locations. Do a search on site to site vpn for your specific brand router.

    Yup. More light.

    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    It can be done. I’d VPN the two routers together so you don’t have to use port forwarding. Then you’d want secondary backup internet at both locations (especially the one hosting the BI server). So long as you have enough upstream bandwidth at the location that is sending to the remote BI...

    Play sound on alert

    Perhaps Alert tab for specific camera and then "On Alert".

    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    I don’t understand your question. You will have to have another license of BI to use it concurrently at two locations. Are you asking about hosting one BI instance at your home (or cloud) and then having all cameras from both locations connect back to a single instance? That’s a bad idea. If...

    I have dozens of these damn brown anoles all over my front and back patio shitting on everything. I hate these fuckers. Give me the green ones any day.

    My Z12 does this as well. I think it’s a gain issue. I’ve never found a fix for it other than zooming out.

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    You talking about the screw that tightens down so you can set the placement of where the camera is pointing to? I didn't have issues with the screw but I do have issues on how the camera mount "teeth" align. I've noticed when tightening down that screw, the camera will move some from where I...

    Is blocking the internet secure enough?

    Block them from connecting to the internet and putting them on their own VLAN is normally sufficient. You can block inter vlan routing for that vlan and see if you can still access them. That would further insulate that vlan from the rest of your network.
