Hi, I set up stunnel according to posts in this thread, but not sure if it's correct and as secure as it can be using stunnel by itself as I am doing. I am able to connect remotely and view my home camera feeds using blue iris on my android smart phone using the blue iris app, and I am able to...

I was able to set up Stunnel, and I too am having the same problem as the poster above, i.e., getting the error message when I click the "Test Again" button towards the end of the "Remote Access Test" procedure: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the...

I have a few questions that I wonder if someone can help with. I too would like to utilize Stunnel to achieve at least some level of security when viewing my camera feeds remotely on my smartphone. I'd like to install a VPN that would encrypt the video feeds to allow me that security. But...

Vettester, Thank you for your thoughts. I do already have ExpressVPN in fact, but based on the instructions in the tutorial on how to use expressVPN with Google Wifi saying "If you would like to encrypt traffic from your Google Wifi, connect your Google Wifi as a “device” to a router running...

Hi hmjgriffon, I wonder if you can offer guidance on something. I'd like to set up a VPN to view the video securely remotely. I have heard mixed information on this forum and elsewhere about the feasibility of running a VPN server with a Google Wifi router to allow for a secure way of viewing...

HI Dahua IPC-HFW8232 experts, I've been trying to eliminate the glare on license plates at night as in the attached picture on the license plate of the car closest to camera. I turned on smart IR, and I zoomed in enough so as not to include the corner of the eave of the corner of the roof that...

Please forgive my ignorance, but can someone clarify whether or not I would need a PoE switch? As I understand it, when PoE is enabled on my 2 Dahua IPC-HFW8232E-Z 2MP Starlight IR Bullet Network security cameras, only one cable is needed to both communicate to my Dell optiplex computer...

Thank you!

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I looked at Dell outlet, Newegg and tigerdirect and found those that I listed. I also want to be sure it has a 4th generation I5 or i7 and an HD graphics card that will be good as has been mentioned. Other than that, what else should I make sure is included in...

Skylake, Thank you for your thoughts! It seems most see laptops as a liability in many ways. What do you think of these? Refurbished: DELL Desktop Computer OptiPlex 7020 Small Form Factor Intel Core i7 4th Gen 4790 (3.6 GHz) 8GB Memory 500 GB Hard Drive Windows 7 Professional 64bit (1)...

Hi ipcamtalk community, Thank you for your information about assets and liabilities of different processors for laptops and desktops to use for camera surveillance on this thread: Laptop or Desktop Pc ? to run Blue Iris? I ordered 2 Dahua IPC-HFW8232E-Z 2MP Starlight IR Bullet Network Camera...

Hi ipcamtalk community, If I'm using a standard power Sandy Bridge processor laptop (2nd generation) INTEL CORE i7-2630QM using Blue Iris to record a video feed from 2 dahua cameras, is there difference between recording onto a 2TB WD blue vs a 2TB purple HDD for camera surveillance? I...

tkinkade, As I think about setting up the cameras with my laptop running Windows 7, I'm wondering what running BlueIris on your windows PC accomplishes that "using the Native Client (NaCL) Web Plug-in for Chrome" doesn't accomplish and vice versa. Thank you, Lee

Hi Tkinkade, Thank you for your reply and for the information. It looks like somewhere along the road of using a Mac and SMARTPSS software to communicate with an NVR to view the recordings on a mac and/or using the plugins on Chrome, Firefox, or Safari I'm going to run into roadblocks of some...
