Hi guys I'll explain my use case first. I can't view my cameras at work, so to be able to get something, I use Pushover and a rule in Sharptools to trigger my cameras and have them send over a snapshot. Not a big deal, but I usually get an older snapshot first, from a previous trigger or a...

That's perfect and seems to work. I used to have ports open, but I closed it for the VPN. I'm also running the router behind a NAT, that has ports forwarded to let a VPN run, but I'll try if it still works without them, since that was for a different approach than OpenVPN. I already have static...

I checked and that option was already unchecked. But on the same reasoning, is it okay to run it with no login request on any connection? And then only allow connection from set IP's as an extra safety? So it's only working on LAN and specific IP's from the LAN and VPN. This confuses me...

I guess it's setup okay. I'm using a TP-link ER605 with OpenVPN. Not much setting up to do. Will try this tonight, thanks!

I'll add I searched and googled and only found other people with the same issue, but in the end they either had a different situation or other people started talking about a lot of things I don't understand and concluded it wasn't a solution. Thanks for the help anyway.

I realise this might have been covered here, but I'm too lazy to find it in these 76 pages. I'm using OpenVPN on a TP-link Omada controller, works fine. Except I'm also using Sharptools to view a dashboard, which can display my camera's. It works fine when I add my credentials in the link, but...

I discovered 1 single camera was causing the issue. I removed it and added it back and it seems to have fixed the issue ‍ To add info anyway: it was my Hikvision camera, When viewing from BI there was no issue from whatever medium I viewed, but direct view from local or external address made it...

Today I noticed on my Sharptools tablet, the cameras were down. Usually this is fixed by a refresh, but nothing. When I looked at my blue iris server, I noticed nothing special, untill I tried to look at my phone dashboard while at the PC. The moment I tried viewing the cameras and the page...

They are marten, is the translation I find. Annoying creatures, they're protected, so you can't catch them. But they go nuts over fish oil used in a lot of rubber and plastics. They are famous for eating car wiring and hoses. Few years ago I had under bonnet washers and it was a miracle the car...

Sorry for the phone capture, was a quicky this way. First catch on camera, we noticed a little figurine was knocked over, so searched for the cause... Feel free to give me more settings advice maybe. But I'm pretty happy with the image.

I'm not very much a network guy, the tutorials I read to put another router, behind my ISP router, all say to not use the ISP router's ip range. So I don't think I can do that. In the mean time, I got the Dahua back, by connecting my pc to the other router, going to the IP of Dahua and change...

Woops, the 102 was a typo, it's also 192. Only difference is the 0 instead of 1. I only have 1 hikvision and 1 dahua, can I do them simultaneously?

New obstacle, I installed the TP-link ER605, took me a while, but got my internet working, my wired computer shows up and the powerline adapter where my camera's are also hooked upto, that wifi works. But I don't see my cameras, it seems all my devices IP-addresses changed from 192.168.1.xxx to...

I was more interested in the door being fully open or closed. So I put contact sensors at the top of the rail and the bottom. I use Sharptools to convert the 2 signals into an open or closed status. The door takes about 30 seconds, so when either of the contacts change, it shows 30 seconds...

Yup, I did the same and returned them after the advice I got here. Thing is, I wanted to get going, was playing with the idea a while, but wasn't constantly looking stuff up about it, so did a quick search and started collecting all the equipment. I found this website, because I preferred Blue...
