    Will this even work?

    I'm going to have to actually connect everything before I can say whether or not it works, though I'm doubtful because the secondary router isn't listed as a connected device on the client list of the primary, and I have to be connected to that second router in order to see all the devices...

    Will this even work?

    This is similar to how I have my Lorex wireless system, but I wanted to ask those in-the-know if I'm going to have problems splitting the system over a wireless network like this. The trick is that one half of the system is in a nearby outbuilding because the house is undergoing renovation...

    About to pull the trigger on Server 2019

    I've considered running '22, but I've been reading that it's had problems with Docker, which (funny enough) I don't know what it is, but if I do need it, I don't want it to give me any problems. That, & I'm running this on an antique Dell machine that I'm squeezing ever last dollar from by...

    Total noob looking to ditch Lorex in favor of Blue Iris & would REALLY appreciate your help :)

    Thanks for the response. I'm currently running an all wifi system that consists of three floodlight cameras (V261LC), a bullet-style w/ LED (W482CAD), & a "Fusion" NVR (D881A8). There's a long & disappointing story of money wasted in hopes of making this a system that might become reliable...

    Total noob looking to ditch Lorex in favor of Blue Iris & would REALLY appreciate your help :)

    Hello everybody, I've been pouring over the threads here until my brain is mush when all I thought I wanted was to replace my fairly basic (& very unreliable) Lorex system. I hope that y'all don't mind that I'll likely ask the good folks here questions that have undoubtedly been asked before...
