    Blue Iris Windows 11 or Windows Server?

    No key appears locked into Windows hardware anymore. Windows Keys have been universal for some time. Only difference is between the version ie pro etc. ie each version has it's own key. Millions of people appear to have the same key therefore.

    Can I use my wireless solar cams with BI?

    You can do that anyway by setting up remote access to BI via a VPN (not the paid for type but the type built into a router).

    Electric Utility removes camera

    What happened to the camera? Have you got another one, or was it trash? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Imagine the irony, their own camera re-appears 4 doors away watching THEIR home.

    Getting JPG from fast moving object

    You do realise that CCTV cameras don't produce pictures you can zoom into well? (A PTZ can but only because it optically zooms in before the capture not into the final picture). If you take a picture using a regular wide angle camera, then there's virtually no chance of it ever being anything...

    New 5MP Starvis 2 sensor announced

    Only issue is it's not 4k. 5mp almost certainly means it's going to be 1080P (4mp after binning).

    Orllo z10 cam- Blue iris

    Have you manually selected the stream profiles from the drop down? In the 1st screenshot they don't look right and in the 2nd screenshot no address is selected at all.

    Struggling to know what to look for!

    Maybe buy 2 decent cameras from the recommended list, and save up the difference to replace the 3rd later down the line. Sometimes it's buy cheap regret later.

    Struggling to know what to look for!

    IP Cam talk has a store which is Empire Tech. Empire Tech also has a store on Amazon. Empire Tech is mostly re-branded Dahua (I think he stocks the odd Hikvision) if you wanted to do the Dahua route instead - even then they sell a range of cameras so you might want to bear in mind the commentary...

    Networking Gurus - getting around a lack of a VPN

    Thanks I'll make a note of that. I thought VPN's were banned in the UK but apparently the ban hasn't gone through yet and is being altered all the time. I couldn't understand how Tailscale was going to get through my hardware router's firewall being sat behind it and I didn't want it opening...

    Networking Gurus - getting around a lack of a VPN

    Thanks and sorry for this question as a lot to try and read on Tailscale's web page. Is this a VPN using an external server and VPN network? The client sits on the PC, communicates with a VPN server which then helps encrypt the traffic and route it? If so it's probably illegal in the UK as the...

    Networking Gurus - getting around a lack of a VPN

    I changed a while ago to Fibre to the Premises due to a deal that made it cheaper than my regular Broadband. However, I have to use the ISP's Router as they won't offer any tech support to anyone using their own router. The trouble is, as with all ISP's, they're cut down even by basic standards...
