Thanks for the info. Looks like there is more to LPR than I though so I will have to do some reading.
I haven't really though of a budget. I don't mind spending $1k+ on a camera but I don't want to buy big money cameras that perform the same or similar to a $300 camera.
Complete noob here but I have read the wiki and successfully implemented my current setup, Blue iris monitoring two IPC-HDW5231R-ZE(yellow arrows). My property is out in the country and not easily accessible except from the drive way so that is where the primary surveillance has been focused...
I do agree with everything you said and that my anger is somewhat misplaced. But I will stick to my statement that the hoarding contributed to this shortage. Hell even the hospitals are hoarding. I heard from a gal the works in supply at a neighboring hospital and they are no longer checking in...
I'd go one step further yet and actually blame THE HOARDERS. Probably less so than the feds or hospitals but its worth a mention.
There are nurses and doctors that need personal protective equipment but thanks to hoarders (and poor policy federal and local) the people who ACTUALLY need them...
Yes it is similar to 192.168 I just used the Lookup key function in the app to get that IP.
You may want to make sure the Lookup at each login option is not selected.
I am far for a expert but I had the same issue.
In my blue Iris Iphone app I set the WAN IP the same as the LAN IP and was able to connect through the VPN without wifi. Duno why it worked but its been running problem free for about a week now.
Does the either of the support plans offer hand holding for all aspects of a BI system including networking / security?
Dummy's like me who have no business setting up a secure and reliable BI network would pay for that.
As soon as I get one little thing figured out there is 4 more 3 letter...
I assume you either don't follow world events or must not live in the US or china for that matter.
In September 2005, units of the Mexican Armed Forces responded to the emergency situations after Hurricane Katrina with aid and assistance,[1][2][3] appearing as a flagged, uniformed force in...
I'm glad I stumbled across this and thanks for posting your fix for others. I was having the same problem as you and after doing this I was finally able to connect with my VPN using cellular data.
I have a similar setup as you using Iphone XR and built in OpenVPN on a netgear router.
Are...
Thanks for the help, you guys are the best.
I got the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE IP from Empiretech's Amazon store along with the Armcrest POE switch in my cart.
Looking for 500' of cable and a crimping tool so hopefully I can start playing around this weekend.
I figured I can start with this one...
Thanks for the suggestions. So I guess I will pass on the Riolink deal and look into Blue Iris and a PC.
I already have a dencent PC for cad and cam, Can I throw a Purple drive in there and run BI on it just to get a camera or 2 running? Then Build/buy a dedicated PC. Would I need anything...
1) I would like to stay under $600 for a 2 camera setup and add to it later.
2) I think. I have no light at night where the cameras will be but have been looking into motion sensor lights or adding additional IR lights for the cameras.
3) Decent on the hardware side but quite new to networking
