    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    NVR990, your situation would be a good application for VLAN. I have a similar situation with 30 cameras scattered across main lines . I implemented 3 VLANS and now my cameras are isolated from the internet. I had to replace some switches that didn’t support VLAN. I struggled with the...

    Video Capture local on iPad

    The Camera icon captures live camera image when triggered and can be saved if desired or “done”. The video icon turns red when touched and will go back to gray when touched again but I haven’t found any capture. If I play a clip, and hit the video icon, it is saved to my photo album as it is...

    Camera’s fine wires connections — alarms, sound in and out

    I should have included a picture. The power is just test mode with tape. Two cameras from Empiretecandy. Edited above . Added picture

    Camera’s fine wires connections — alarms, sound in and out

    My new cameras have wires bundled with the network and power connections. I was wondering if anyone had found an effective connection / connector to make removable connections for these small wires. RJ45 socket could be used for alarms but sound in ( microphone) is usually shielded. Outdoor...

    Multiple network cards

    Thanks all, I’ll continue my research and education. jm: “There is no "VLAN process" that separates things or packets.” I was referring to the internal managed switch process that tags and untags packets to accomplish the virtual mission.

    Multiple network cards

    jmhmcse Thanks for jumping in. You miss understood what I was asking. I said " or just let the VLAN L3 process keep things separated " perhaps "things" should have been "packets" I will set up a test bed with 2 cameras and a managed router to test subnets. I have never used multiple...

    Searching for a router that has a common DHCP and supports VLAN

    Do all routers that handle VLAN, use a individual DHCP list /allocation process or subnet per port or do any have a DHCP Master for all ports (like the process of a router that does not handle VLANS)? My ASUS is the latter ( one subnet- no VLAN) and Netgear PR60x has a list per port and if...

    Multiple network cards

    My network is visible part way down this recent networking thread: ( don’t know how to add link) Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI I struggle with understanding whether you need different subnets like 0,1,2 .xxx or just let the VLAN L3 process keep...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    A.G. The eagle cam isolation was to isolate the YouTube server so it’s BI did not have access to the rest of the cams. The drawing YT server had an extra port for other cam so as to function as a back up BI. Not as a quick change over. That port would normally be unplugged. The PR60 is...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    A. Guy wrote: I think using VLANs is very helpful in breaking a network into different parts. However you don't want to get too granular with your VLANs because traffic traveling between two different VLANs will have to be routed through the router/switch while traffic traveling on the same VLAN...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Hey, This is darn near Greek to me. I thought L3 was packet modification ( adding VLAN id info) and L2 was switching based on decode of packet. Forgive my semantics if not right. My goal is to isolate cameras and have good internet performance. Automation Guy, i'm not surprised at your...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Many on this site know of the weaknesses of port forwarding. I nievely thought it was just to see what is on the camera. Ie like my backyard. Others here know waaaay more about.

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    "Did someone hack into one of your cameras and compromise your network? " No ,not my system. But someone used my system to forward/ hop a message, best I can tell. I HAD port forwarding open under UPnP on several cameras and apparently, someone found the weakness and used it for messaging...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Automation Guy, My network is in four locations 3 buildings and a 3 towers. My goal was to isolate the cameras from the internet as a result of an FBI inquiry ( my ip address was identified and possibly used to no good ) I was happy with an open, single subnet network and it worked fine...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Gentlemen, Great responses. I used this example to better understand VLANs. I should have stated the VLAN would be/was 802.1Q. I have implemented VLAN L3 in my home network to isolate the cameras off the internet. I have two camera VLANs with the isolation of the "eagle" watching cameras...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    I am struggling with the philosophy of VLANs . This example might help me understand some of the differences. YouTube examples show the subnet change but L3 documentation describe it as additional packet info. Does the Blue Iris computer see both cameras? My limited experience shows the...

    Multiple network cards

    Yes, 192.168.0.7 and 0.8 and 0.9. My VLANs have slowed the internet speed test from 700 down to 90 mbs, which is ok. I am using Negear equipment with the 802.xx packet expansion process versus switch port defined VLAN.

    Multiple network cards

    My BI computer has three NIC cards to interface a switch with 3 VLANS ( 2 cameras separated for a and house service). My question is what / where/How is the system to know which card to make the ip request? After implementing VLANs, my BI fills in cameras at a much slower rate, like 30...

    Web server : problems specifying correct port when 3 exist.

    I have 3 network ports, 192.168.0.7 8, 9 and 10. 7 and 9 are connected to VLan at switch. 8 is connected to router supplying wifi to iPad and BI app. when I restart BI, it will pick 7 typically. So I set the bind exclusively flag and pick 8 and restart and it picks 8, but won’t allow...

    VLAN Tagging thru a unmanaged switch

    This question arose because an unmanaged switch was added to the trunk line just to watch /read the led response and adding it to a failed line, made it work. So my above question. I tried wireshark, that is interesting... As it turned out it was a wet line and connection, that apparently...

    VLAN Tagging thru a unmanaged switch

    I’ll try wireshark. Some missed the story. I have a coupler to extend the cable on a trunk path for a remote VLAN. and it didn’t work. I put an unused switch in the path cause it was close and to watch the leds. It started to work. .?? I was wondering if it stripped the included Vladimir...

    VLAN Tagging thru a unmanaged switch

    Would an unmanaged switch in a path of a trunk line from a managed switch pass or strip the included VLAN ID inserts? My remote switch port coded as trunk line doesn’t work with a passive coupler in series. I plugged in a switch just to watch the leds and it started working. Could be port...

    Dual LANs on Same wire provide Security?

    Management VLAN as 1 was the access problem. Setting to 11 fixed the issue.

    Dual LANs on Same wire provide Security?

    Tested on a Netgear GS108Ev3. Q802.1 basic doesn’t support trunk lines. So staying with Q802 advanced. Not sure what Doug was doing that I don’t need to.

    Dual LANs on Same wire provide Security?

    When I wrote about the control port, I didn’t have access to the switch. The black screen above has the Management Vlan at the bottom. I translated that to mean port. I can only assume it should be VLAN11 in my case. I don’t understand the basic function of the labels VLAN ID and PVID. And...
