    non-intrusive (smoked?) indoor camera recommendation

    Im not sure how much thought I would put into what you are asking. I have cameras indoors and visitors are almost always clueless about them being installed. Those that do notice them haven't thought much about them when I tell them they don't record when I am home. The wife and kids only minded...

    BI setup with Samsung SNH-P6410BN

    Have you tried adding it to BI using the Find/Inspect button? It looks like it has RTSP streams based on this article from another site. The Blue Iris help document should assist you with adding a new camera if you have not done this before.

    Cannot connect remotely any more

    I would first check to see if your ISP has changed your IP on you and your DynDNS needs to be updated. Then I would confirm that you have the necessary ports open on your router/firewall for BI to work (default port 81). If you know your IP is correct, and you have port open to public space then...

    I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

    Yes, only the web instance for UI2 is being modified, not your BI server. And yes, make a copy of the www folder and move it somewhere "safe" as a backup. Modify anything you want and if you need to revert just replace the current www folder with your copied backup and you'll be back to as it...

    @Spooling - If you are double clicking in the timeline to start playback for all camera views, then yes, you should see black screens when no events were taking place like you describe.

    Positioning

    Looks like a good start to your setup. I would personally move cam B to the corner of the garage. I know you are doing verifocal and are probably wanting to cover the car in the drive but from that far you aren't very likely to get an identifiable image of a person unless you zoom way in and...

    China tried to login

    Ummm, yea. It is people like you that UPnP was created, but just the same, it is people like you who don't consider the ramifications of hosting stuff outside your network. In MY network, I DO have to do something "special" to get Plex to work, just like I have to do something "special" to get...

    China tried to login

    I agree with @nayr here - don't allow applications to control your firewall settings, please. @Rockford622 - I don't have an ability to VPN to home to use Plex due to device limitations that are used to access my Plex server. I know that Plex needs ports open to work remotely, that isn't the...

    THIS is my problem with VPN to Plex also, as I too am hosting family DVR now. I want to put PlexRequest open to family also, what do you think of the security to this being outward facing?

    China tried to login

    I know we have gotten really off topic here, but I encourage you to do a little digging about this topic. I don't know how your Plex is configured to work exactly, but if you have access to Plex through www.plex.tv you DO have ports open in your firewall, knowingly or unknowingly. You might have...

    China tried to login

    Maybe I have a setting in my server that prevents this, but with my configuration currently, I cannot access Plex without opening up port 32400. Perhaps you didn't know it, but UPnP may have got you good and opened it up on your behalf when you setup Plex (assuming you do have Plex). My remote...

    Thanks for the reply, @bp2008. I think what I was reading about Plex and VPN problems stem from the overhead that is present in bandwidth when using a VPN. It already costs quite a bit of outbound bandwidth to stream media content so when you place the bottleneck of a VPN over that, then you get...

    China tried to login

    @nayr - I know all the benefits of using a VPN by now, as well as majority of the dangers to opening up ports to allow remote access. But recently I have installed other server functions (plex media server) that I want to open up and allow access to outside my network. I have read the problems...

    Configuring UPNP in Netgear Nighthawk

    For others that come to this post looking, I justed wanted to say, turn off your UPnP. With UPnP turned on in your router, your cameras, and other IoT devices, will try to open ports all on their own. In practice, this is not a good thing. You should be the one who decides what is making it past...

    Which VPN server running can the pi2 do 30MBit @nayr? I'd like to look at this myself if I don't first end up with an edgerouter first (still not sure which model I will get). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Geofencing question

    First setup your 4 profiles (Daytime-Home, Daytime-Away, Nighttime-Home, Nighttime-Away). Then create two schedules (Home, Away). In Home schedule draw out what is to be the day using Daytime-Home for the profile to draw. Then draw in the Nighttime-Home for the night period of that schedule...

    Remote login from unrecognized external ip address

    Just like @nayr said - enable your device to use the vpn settings you established in your router for when you are away from home. Once you have the VPN connection established, use your mobile device as if it were on the home wifi.

    Did you set it for PPTP or OpenVPN?

    Remote login from unrecognized external ip address

    Could be that your mobile provider doesn't show its IP in this case, but not sure. I know my provider (Verizon) displays a correct external IP when I use my mobile to connect. I get attempted connections to my BI server all the time from outside addresses from China, Netherlands, even Chicago...

    Motion Detection, relay on camera or BI software ?

    You can choose which to use when using some of the more popular camera models like Hikvision. The camera can use the motion onboard and sent a trigger for BI to record. Or when using the cameras that don't have good motion, use BI for motion detection. It's really up to you on how you want to do...

    This looks to be inset to the wall from the angle you shot the photo @fenderman. Care to share how you mounted this along with the trim. I like the way this looks.

    Packery looks pretty nice but leave some odd shape holes in the layout due to not reconfiguring they layout when a tile is rearranged. Not a huge deal breaker by any means but I like how gridster doesn't require the user the move each and every tile when making the changes to layout. Sent...

    Exhaust/Steam and Motion

    I have one of my cams the has steam from dryer vent it catches and I use the built in line crossing to the camera to trigger an event in BI. This works pretty well as the steam on mine doesn't cross the line in the direction I tell it I am interested in, it goes the opposite way. You can do this...
