Feedback on dual camera install on an inside corner
The biggest issue with this spot to me is the porch light that you need to frame out of the shot. The problem with this is that you won't be able to mount the cam on the ceiling as it places the light right in your view at that point. If you can wall-mount this camera at your proposed...- Jose R.

Router for VPN
It all depends on how you value your time and what skillset you have. I'm using a T-Mo 68U I got for $39 as a refurb and flashed. It streams my UI3 thru OpenVPN 9 hours a day when at the office. No problems.- Jose R.

Door checkers at my house.
You got it. I hope they get the bastards but cops really want plate numbers. Time for LPR! I'm going to expedite mine... This problem is happening all over. In Miami the cops are doing pretty good with this and nabbed a stack of these idiots recently: Miami-Dade Police Sweep Nabs Kendall...- Jose R.

Blue Iris UI3
Can't you just make a profile that alerts on a dedicated zone defined for this? -
Blue Iris UI3
Yup. That was my hope when I upgraded the plan. I had ordered the 25/2 plan thinking it would be fine as my old plan with AT&T was 24/2 and was flawless. Surely "cable" internet would beat that, right? Hah. Not so much. No matter, it's an extra $10/mo and now I have 60/5 so it's... -
Blue Iris UI3
Ok so an update for any future Comcast users: Apparently their 25/2 plan is not good enough to stream out a UI3 window, at least in my case. You may want to check your particular upload speeds, as mine was just not good enough. I was dropping and losing connection constantly. Not only... -
Blue Iris UI3
Yep, got the ap, been watching it. Divided by 30 that's 34gigs per day, I'm under that so far but still too new to tell. I got this internet for cord cutting purposes so heavy streaming will go down. Let's see how it fares before I cancel the whole deal before the first 30 days is up. In... -
Blue Iris UI3
Haha thanks. Yes it's 1TB. I assume that's down only and not up? I stream my BI feed 9 hours a day while I'm at the office. I don't intend to do that forever but I'm currently fine tuning my motion alerts so it's on all day while at work. -
OpenVPN, Must Router be Inline to Modem?
Yes, removing the gateway is the same as what I did. Same procedure and idea. This thread is for someone fighting with an AT&T wireless gateway and their own router (2 routers in a network which causes problems). While it contains other networking ideas and issues as I was learning along...- Jose R.

BP: You're the man. As you've already known, my graph is a mess, full of holes. I settled on 950 as the bitrate limit and it's become much more stable. Thank so much! I'm more impressed with you and UI3 more and more everyday. :headbang: -
OpenVPN, Must Router be Inline to Modem?
No problem, you just need to learn basics of networking. I had to do the same. Assigning the manual IP to the network is achieved thru the network adapter settings, then properties on a PC, under IPv4 settings. There you can assign your IP address. Under that, it says gateway: for the...- Jose R.

Blue Iris UI3
Morning, BP. I have a question regarding required Mbps from my ISP for UI3 to work from a remote location. I recently changed to Comcast and when I use my usual OpenVPN to access my cameras from work, it can't keep up. I'm getting over 1Mbps up at home and I can't keep a 1MP stream from... -
OpenVPN, Must Router be Inline to Modem?
I got it working perfectly. After backfeeding the A/V center from the Networking closet, it's all working as it should with everything downstream of the ASUS router. That's covered on the forum many times over but basically you just install the second NIC (assigned with 192.168.3.x and no...- Jose R.

Just Another Day in Paradise...
My first Dahua 2231R-ZS of my new BI build went up and it caught this shortly after. Straight to a torture test, heh. Video died as power went out. It's on a UPS now which reports 90 minutes of reserve. It's been a few weeks and it's fine, as expected.- Jose R.

Most Discrete 6mm Camera for Front Door
Yep, running Blue Iris. Thanks, everyone, just ordered this camera. Will be nice to concentrate on another location, as I'm currently pulling my hair out trying to sort tree shadows on my driveway with another cam, hah. Luckily there's already lots of info on here about that. Thanks again!- Jose R.

Most Discrete 6mm Camera for Front Door
I could do that, are they easily available and affordable? Considering the Hikvision version is 6mm from factory for about the same price, probably best to just do that one and not crack anything open, no?- Jose R.

It's currently $129 at B&H. So it's not any more than the wedge. Is this a sale price or unusually low for this cam?- Jose R.

Most Discrete 6mm Camera for Front Door
I tried the corridor mode in this location and it gave me a couple of issues. First, the white floor blew out the upper half of the frame where the ID takes place. So the part I need is lost. This also loses the car surveillance in the background. In regular mode, I get more pixels on the...- Jose R.

Most Discrete 6mm Camera for Front Door
Great form factor on that one. 110mm diameter so a tad larger than the wedge but smaller than the standard turrets. 360-degree rotate so no issues using upside down on a ceiling. How does Darkfighter compare to Starlight?- Jose R.

Most Discrete 6mm Camera for Front Door
Thanks, guys... To be clear, I am talking about the 6mm version. The 2.8 and 3.6mm versions are still available as far as I know. They are just too wide for my choke point. Half the image will be walls if I use those.- Jose R.

Most Discrete 6mm Camera for Front Door
Fellas! I need a small starlight or equivalent front door camera (CAM 1 in diagram) with a 6mm lens. I want this lens as I use it to focus tight on a choke point in my entryway for Face ID. I have an overall front door cam behind this one (CAM 2) for packages, etc. This would also double as...- Jose R.

Blue Iris UI3
Thank you, BP. The frame by frame wasn't working. It would jump random amounts of time. Altho now looking at it, the JPEG mode fixed it. Both of my issues are related to the jpeg stream. So whenever I need to do any detail frame work, I'll just switch to Jpeg. Thanks! I got my screen shot. -
Blue Iris UI3
UI3 is incredible, and I can't thank BP enough for it. I am having two issues however, even after searching: 1. I can't advance the footage frame by frame. I can only use the slider to scrub to a frame, which obviously is very imprecise. 2. Taking a snapshot on the desired frame results... -
NVR/PC physical placement ideas help
So far, no issues. The BI PC is not breaking a sweat at all with only 4 cameras up and running. As I build out the system to the total of 16, we'll see. I can add a vent thru the front and/or side wall and add exhaust fans if it comes to that.- Jose R.

NVR/PC physical placement ideas help
I went thru this problem and agonized over where to place the PC/UPS/Switches. My advice? Pick a place that's easy to get to from the attic if you're wiring thru one (you'll going back to that spot way more than you think) and, place it as centrally as possible. As for security, perhaps...- Jose R.

Any expertise on Q-See products? (Dahua Rebrand?)
Yep, I have a couple of those bullets to get my feet wet thanks to Mat. They are Dahua for sure, the web client gives it away. Got them working perfectly on BI for a while now. They work great, and I thought they were wonderful until I got Starlights and was blown away. Of course however...
