    SMTP Relay server issues?

    Tested with gmail and it works, though that is not my preferred choice.

    SMTP Relay server issues?

    I can't even get the test working, no outbound in logs nor in the postfixrelay smtp server.

    SMTP Relay server issues?

    I run my own SMTP relay server via docker and use it for BI alerts among others. Wanted to try the detection features on my Dahua cameras (several models), but I'm not able to successfully test the SMTP settings. All I get is failed. Checked my firewall logs and the camera isn't even trying to...

    Looking to upgrade to a low light camera

    Thanks for that bit of information. I'll have to decide if I want to run another POE cable. I also have an option of adding a switch as I have a "holiday lights" junction box nearby.

    Looking to upgrade to a low light camera

    I currently have 2 cameras out front. The driveway camera is an IPC-HDW5231R-ZE which works good at night (also happen to have a street light across the street). The other driveway which is at the far corner of the front of the house is an IPC-HDBW4631R-ZS. This camera really doesn't perform...

    Type of Camera and placement (no eve)

    I'd like to place a camera in this area (towards the front of house forward of the door), but as you can see there is no eve to help protect the camera. Any ideas on what type of camera and how to best protect it? This camera would be watching the side gate/truck.

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Any chance of having BIT run as a service? I don't stay logged into the PC that is running BI.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I might have to see about returning it then, though I do have a porch light on either side of the garage doors.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    Ah I see, didn't realize the scope of the marketplace. Hopefully this camera will server its purpose for some time then. Next time I know where to go.

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I was thinking about putting it there, just trying to figure out how to route the cable cleanly. I figured a dome camera was better for this situation. Also, I got the camera from aliexpress.com, which appears to be recommended by most people around here. Edit: This camera quality from testing...

    Placement of camera; front of house

    I want to add a camera outside that watches my driveway. The only issue I have is the way the house is built, there are no good placement options for the camera. I have a Dahua HDBW4631R-ZS and Junction box which makes it stick out pretty far. I have a CAT6 w/POE on the other side of the...

    Recommend Server off Ebay to run Blue Iris and Plex media server in seperate VM's?

    While not recommended, there are a few people that run BI as a VM, myself included. Currently I run it on a C2100 (L5630) with 4 cameras. CPU generally runs in the 45% range. I'm planning on adding a few more cameras in the future so I will likely be switching to a dedicated PC or upgrading my...
