    Web access now that Adobe FLV no longer available

    Another option is using DVR software on your MacOS system, like SecuritySpy ($$), or open source like motionEye (maybe using Docker), or iSpy Agent, Shinobi, Xeoma (free and pay versions), etc. and use OpenVPN, WireGuard, ZeroTier, MeshNet, etc. to access the DVR. Note that I've only played...

    Problems with Remote viewing of security cameras without firewall hole punching

    On your openVPN "server", you generate a certificate for your iPhone. This cert should be transferred to your iPhone and added to your OpenVPN Connect app. If someone tries to access your openVPN server and doesn't have a cert that is not in it's list, it will not allow access.

    Problems with Remote viewing of security cameras without firewall hole punching

    I believe MeshNet is a free addon to NordVPN to do similar, like TwinGate, TailScale, etc, https://nordvpn.com/meshnet/remote-access/

    Problems with Remote viewing of security cameras without firewall hole punching

    Your router may have an option to use openVPN, otherwise you would need a local system to act are your openVPN or Wireguard server and you would open a port to allow traffic thru on your router. Other options that don't require opening a port are TailScale, ZeroTier, TwinGate, no cost for...

    send Telegram notifications with pictures

    Thanks for asking for the option. I'm using a command script that someone else came up with. I only have two cams that use it, but if I had more cams using it, most likely it would have a race condition (like in electronics) and send the wrong image if more than one cam triggered at same...

    Late night snack

    Nice video. Didn't see what was the snack, but heard something splash just before the gator snatched it, so I assume it wasn't a bird, maybe fish?

    Starlink satellite internet

    I really wanted to get off spectrum (increased to 80/mnth now) and tried T-Mobile. Unfortunately I live it a small gully with small hill on east and south, where the 4G and 5G towers are. Even tried climbing up on the roof to try for better connection, but couldn't get a solid signal above 2...

    Unable to connect to LaView bullet cameras

    Get VLC software, then change computer IP address to same range as cam, then use VLC, select Media / Open Network Stream and enter in the RTSP address. This will see if you can connect to cam. For example, if your cam is 192.168.0.100, enter in the cam's username/password with the address...

    Coyote Got Something

    Like a dog with a bone! Maybe too much night time to stop hunting for food. I assume their pups are born in the spring and hunting for them now.

    Just a reminder that AI is not perfect

    I was looking for a replacement as the rubber ring seems to wear out fast on compressed air gun. A bit expensive but looks like it would do the job on squirrels. If they try to get in my attic. I usually use a trap but some are cagey.

    Flag Installation Question

    Have you switched from DeepStack to CodeProject.AI? Poll

    I'm still using DeepStack for now, as I'm only using it on two cameras. When I decide to add more cams for AI, then I may switch to using CodeProject.AI.

    ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer)

    The company I worked for routed everything through our publishing group (i.e. software manuals, technical reports and conference presentations) and they used iThenticate. Didn't seem logical to do my software manuals, however it found similar text from my old2 - 8 years old manuals :).

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Since you are looking for Linux-based with only live viewing and motion recording only, have you checked out Agent server by ISpy and motionEye? I had Bluecherry about 5-6 years ago, but the one thing that was missing for me was 24/7 recording along with motion recording. I was looking at...

    Amazon cheating Return

    Hope they catch the people that send back crap. I've read that the warehouse workers are on the clock for each package that they have to fulfill, so it's not surprising that sometimes things get damaged. Last thing I returned was a couple years ago, the chandler glass was broken, got an...

    Moved Blue Iris from a Win 10 to Win 11, had only one issue :)

    Finally got around to installing DeepStack and BI on my "new" Win 11 computer. When I entered my license key in the new system, it automatically removed it from my Win 10 computer! I updated to the previous backup version (5.6.2.10) I had under the BI folder (from the original 2019 version I...

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    I don't see a reason for multiple banks either, everything will come from the central bank instead...however realistically we'll end up with 4 to 6 large banks. Lena Petrova has a great videos on CDBCs, like the one in Nigeria where the banks limit withdrawal of cash per day, as they are trying...

    Stunnel vs NGROK vs ZeroTier?

    I've been using ZeroTier, but not sharing with anyone else. Note that you can restrict what port (i.e. if BI Web Server is turned on and at port 81, just allow traffic on tcp/udp port 81), see link below. Also, within BI, can create users and create a "group" of camera(s), then limit each...

    Another OpenVPN/WireGuard alternative: Twingate

    True, however you can implement your own ZeroTier controller/server; also HeadScale is being developed, which is an open source implementation of TailScale. https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

    Another OpenVPN/WireGuard alternative: Twingate

    I've been using ZeroTier, WireGuard before that and it seems that the number of options have grown, including TailScale and now Twingate. I think Twingate is overkill for just HA and/or BI, however if you have a remote office and need access to one or all remote office systems, this may be an...

    Bad luck on Fedex shipment

    Blue Iris registry file contain all camera settings?
