    Blue Iris Version 5 is right around the corner!

    Nice.. so, I purchased BlueIris less than 2 months ago and now I find out that I have to pay again to stay current. Does anyone know if I have any recourse here that doesn't involve me shelling more money to get Version 5?

    Pure Bare Copper Wire

    When I first read this, I thought you were talking about truly bare/exposed copper cable... IE: basically trying to run your network over speaker wire. If you're asking if your network cables should be pure copper as opposed to aluminium (copper coated), then the answer is yes. Any cables...

    Possible to secure the BI web server?

    So, I disabled STunnel and setup nginx. Overall, it was pretty easy to setup, however I can't figure out one thing. Has anyone been able to get TLSv1.3 to work with the Windows version of nginx? It's looking like the openssl version embedded within nginx is out of date and I can't figure out...

    Possible to secure the BI web server?

    By chance, is it possible to secure the BI web server? I'm using STunnel encapsulate its web traffic via HTTPS and have it setup well enough to get an A+ rating via Qualys SSLLabs, however I want to do more. I'd like to do a few more things such as adding some security headers, removing where...

    IP cam viewer crashes on my ios 7

    Can you put your device in airplane mode (or just kill wifi), open the app, make the change, and then re-enable everything?

    Starlight or 4k?

    Attached is a pic of my backyard. I'm thinking of attaching a camera to the soffit closest to me and aiming the camera toward the ground near the light. There's a gate there. The light can be aimed/changed as needed. So, the question is, do you think a 4k cam would be able to get a quality...

    Any rebranded Dahua Starlight Cams?

    Wow, you weren't kidding. This thing is so good in low light, that it's not even going into night vision mode. The light from my garage light is enough to keep it in color mode and it looks great. I wish they made a 4k camera with this sensor (and was affordable). I only had 2 incredibly...

    external drive on Dell Opt. SFF, MFF, USFF

    About a month... I'm still dipping my toes in the water. My Blue Iris PC is a Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF and my USB enclosure is a Antec MX-1. No special reasons for either; it's simply what I just happened to have laying around. I do plan to upgrade the HDD eventually, however I'm perfectly...

    external drive on Dell Opt. SFF, MFF, USFF

    I suppose it may depend on how many cameras you have (throughput issues), but I'm doing exactly that right now with my 4 test cameras without issue. My drive is in a USB enclosure and working fine. Now, I haven't experimented to find out what would happen if that enclosure lost power and Blue...

    Ran 3 Cat6 cables... what a PIA!

    One tip I'd give people is to use multiple boxes. Instead of buying a single 1000ft box, buy 2 500ft boxes instead so that you can pull 2 strands at the same time (Granted 2 1000' boxes would be even better). Also, insure you pull a 'pull string' with your first run as well. That way, if you...

    Any rebranded Dahua Starlight Cams?

    Yep, that's point I was trying to get across. If I have to choose between buying from a trusted seller via Amazon or via a Chinese site that I've never used before, I'm choosing Amazon. It's my personal preference. Andy happened to be the first to reply, so that's why I purchased the camera...

    Any rebranded Dahua Starlight Cams?

    I wouldn't call it a loss, but rather a difference of priorities. When I talk about 'multiple 3rd parties', I was talking about lots of different things I order, not just cams (which I'm only now dipping my toe in those waters). For me personally, the 'one throat to choke' convenience in...

    Any rebranded Dahua Starlight Cams?

    Yep, and I ordered one. It should be here Thursday. I'd much rather deal with Amazon than with multiple 3rd parties directly. If the part won't be delivered in 2 or 3 days, I'm not interested.

    Thanks... you are an amazing individual.

    Any rebranded Dahua Starlight Cams?

    I'm seeing a lot of post about how great Dahua Starlight cameras are awesome. However, every post about them seems to be accompanied by more post about making sure you get 'the right one with the right firmware from this one site from this one guy'. By chance, are there any re-branded Dahua...
