    New (higher spec) CPU requirements for Windows 11 24H2

    It would appear (for now anyway) the requirement applies only to OEM manufacturing new computers. Hopefully Microsoft won't screw over us end-users more than they already have. No, Microsoft is NOT dropping Windows 11 support for Intel 8th, 9th, and 10th Gen chips

    USB Ethernet for dual NIC?

    Thanks, I will definitely keep that in mind about using the USB ports. I believe the 11th gen requirement applies only to OEM manufacturers. What I've been able to tell 8th-10th gen will continue to be supported for users as always. Leave it to Microsoft to change the rules though.:smash: No...

    USB Ethernet for dual NIC?

    Sounds good thank you for that. I think I will go with a sff pc then. I assume putting the cameras on the internal port is because that would be more data going through than the Internet would be? Hopefully overheating won't be an issue as long as I set it up correctly.

    USB Ethernet for dual NIC?

    Oh okay thanks for that information. When I googled "dual NIC Dell optiplex SFF" I got a lot of results showing some janky mods involving cutting holes in the case and having cables hanging out. Led me to believe it wasn't exactly plug and play. Looks like I can indeed get a sff pc and have...

    Hello from Alabama

    ROLL TIDE all the way! My wife went to Auburn for a time and even she's still a Bama fan LOL! I guess if I'm going to state I'm from Alabama, announcing my allegiance should be a prerequisite lol.

    USB Ethernet for dual NIC?

    Hey has anyone used one of the USB/Ethernet converters to get dual NIC for their Blue Iris setup? I've been looking at some Dell optiplex SFF computers over a more conventional tower to save space, but it looks like getting a second Ethernet port in them isn't exactly straightforward due to the...

    Hello from Alabama

    Hey y'all just wanted to say hello. I joined a couple weeks ago after lurking around quite a while. I haven't started buying anything yet but am definitely learning a lot. I'm sure I'll have questions as I go down this rabbit hole!

    Complete NOOB security question

    Wow I didn't even know what I thought I knew lol. I haven't browsed enough to know to cut the dori numbers in half like that. Thank you that is good info to know. I'll definitely be getting a good varifocal to start. Thank you for explaining about VPN. I thought from what I've been reading...

    Complete NOOB security question

    Hey thanks for the quick response! I've actually done a good bit of lurking on here before I finally made an account. I think I have a reasonable grasp on camera dori options. I'll start with just one or two cameras from Andy and build from there. Probably a two lens 180° camera for a general...

    Complete NOOB security question

    Hi all first post here, and first of probably many questions lol. Starting from scratch on my first camera setup. Haven't purchased anything yet as I'm still in the research phase. I'm having trouble sorting out all the options on setting up my network. If I get a PC to run BlueIris, can I just...
