    How are you getting to BI remotely?

    How are you getting to BI remotely?

    I know the OP said other than VPN, but why not use vpn? I use OpenVPN - it's just a touch to establish a connection and start the BI app. Not sure what the inconvenience is.

    Natural Gas Generators

    LP Generac 15kw - had it for 20 years, had to replace the starter and a few battery changes. Regular maintenance (oil, spark plug, air filter), but it still runs fine. Our power went out for 2 days a couple of weeks ago during an ice storm, ran continuously and fine. My neighbor has a 2019...

    Wifi Doorbell

    I contacted the Ring support folks - they say that it will not work with Blue Iris and there are no plans to allow it to work with BI. They want to make customers purchase their 'cloud' service. Evidently "Ring" is a piece of crap anyway according to the reviews. Seems like there would be...

    Recomendations for low budget camera?

    I know most folks dislike foscam - and they do have their issues - but for a $70 camera it's not bad. I have 7 of the FI8910W's and, although it's an indoor camera, I have them mounted under the eves of my house using cat 5e to a gigabit switch. I've been successfully using them in this capacity...

    CCTV vs IP

    Not to beat a dead horse, but one additional comment on cctv vs. IP (at least in my very limited experience) - the software that I've dealt with on two different vendors' DVRs is (putting it nicely) inadequate, as is the system's access over the internet. I installed both cctv and ip cameras...
