    How to enable OpenWeatherMaps on camera video in Blue Iris 5.9.9.32 ?

    I have this latest stable BI release, have installed it and have the BI settings location tab fields populated with my geographical data and the OpenWeatherMap API key. The weather updates successfully every 15 minutes. The BI user manual states that a number of macros should then be available...

    Starlink - anyone have it?

    Yes, I only saw it was not 12 volt after I posted. The Mean Well supplies are great, I’ve used them for PoE and IR illuminators.

    What 12 volt source are you using to power this?

    Very nice but what is the wall surface and structure there? Looks like the stove is very close to it. We burned a 40,000 BTU Vermont Castings stove for years and had to space it a couple of inches away from brick that had an airspace behind it.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    My limited understanding on this is that certain evidence (from Twitter?) presented at his “trial” was from 2018 at which time he was president.

    I took CERT training about ten years ago. You‘re taught it’s very important to survey the scene before jumping into action. The heroic rescuers in this video were trying to open a door that was up against the guardrail. One night about two years ago, I came upon a small SUV that had snapped off...

    I’ve noticed my server keeps going offline.

    Could be a driver problem. Can you run it in safe mode with networking and see if it behaves?

    What model switch are you using for this?

    I’d add an internal hard drive in the BI PC for the recordings instead of using your NAS. Keep that traffic off of your LAN. Depending on you router’s capabilities, your IoT devices can be on a guest network or otherwise isolated from your LAN but not on the cameras subnet.

    Short mast needed for Ethernet between buildings

    I hear ya about lightning...there are NO failproof solutions. I'm in PA and we get our share of thunderstorms. Most damage I've seen is due to differences in device grounds I've also used Ubiquiti devices including their ETH-SP for static. There is no power at the remote building so it'll be...

    Short mast needed for Ethernet between buildings

    Thanks for your reply…yes, messenger cable with clamps. Since the pipe will extend a couple of feet above the roof, I suppose a proper ground rod should be used.
