    How insecure is port forwarding for Blue Iris if you have an incredibly strong password?

    But even if you have a VPN don't you need open ports? If so how does that change anything from just having a secure password?

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    So question about tailscale. I want my phone's traffic to go through the normal cellular network and not route back to my house for normal use. I am worried that having zero tier always on will do that and will cause latency. I am looking into VPN options now because after less than a week of...

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    But a VPN you would have to either keep running or disconnect it every time you are done with it. Not practical for mobile devices especially for end users that don't have the knowledge or want to have to do an additional step every time they want to check cameras. Having blue iris behind a...

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    https://chatgpt.com/share/1dc4a830-395e-4fb5-924a-ab52d47811a9 In short, having Blue Iris on a separate user account that does not have network access to the LAN (other than the router), and using a reverse proxy with 2fa authentication is basically 10/10 bullet proof and should function just...

    Blue Iris on VM

    Wouldn't having BI on a VM improve security since you could use a virtual firewall to block access to devices on your home network? In my case I use my VMS server for other things, but if you weren't you could also use windows firewall to do the same thing. That way if someone hacked the web...

    In UI3 is there a way to filter the timeline based on Human/Vehicle alerts?

    In both the Hikvision and Reolink client, there are options to filter the footage based on alerts in the timeline. Here is UI3. I dont see that option to do that. I am used to using the timeline instead of the clips so I find this to be more natural to use. Overall Blue Iris works so...

    How insecure is port forwarding for Blue Iris if you have an incredibly strong password?

    Doesn't Blue Iris have a password lockout feature like Hikvision if you fail too many times? Instead of using a VPN for my phone, I was thinking of just setting up windows firewall rules on an admin account (have blue iris installed on a non admin account), and restrict outbound traffic from...

    Camera list is empty after setting up webserver

    This is my first time setting up Blue Iris and I am getting the below error after adding a Reolink camera and creating a user account. What could be the problem?

    Hikvision NVR Freezing after adding 4K Reolink camera

    I have a Hikvision DS-7732NXI-I4 / S 32 Channel Acusense NVR as well as the 8 channel version of it. Both become unresponsive in the NVR GUI whenever I add just one 4K PTZ Camera with the following stream settings. Changing the resolution down to 4MP (2304*1296 ) stops the unresponsiveness...

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    I actually made that up because I don't want to have to go through explaining what I actually want to keep secret, and it is related to being naked. ANYWAYS. Good to know! There are actually better ways to have a secret camera than an IP camera sticking out of the ceiling. I actually have a...

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    Actually I already did that. Chat GPT says its okay in my state as long as I am the one that films it. Now anyways, excluding Hikvision and the CCP, will there be any one else seeing these recordings? Because if so that would make it illegal for what I am doing.

    Can someone illegally access my used NVR if they know the verification code?

    Just picked up a 32 channel Acusense NVR on eBay for a steal (I know, Blue Iris is King but I want two way audio). I am worried that if they know the verification or QR code they can search for the device once it goes online. Does factory resetting it make a new code? I wouldn't think so...

    More Reolink recommendations from a professional youtuber.

    -Be prepared, be ReoUNlinked Yeah be prepared to use an app full of bloat popups when you need to check cameras at night when you hear strange noises. Also be prepared to get banned for complaining about anything on their Reddit group. I may be responsible for why that now happens. Also...

    Your idea about future of CCTV

    The future is going to be drones flying everywhere with cameras and CCTV nano technology in your vaccines so Bill Gates and his pedo friends like Jeffrey E. can all spy on you during the next Bohevian Grove festival. That's what Alex Jones said on the air today.

    3D printer surveillance

    I bought this a while ago but wasn't practical for what I needed. I believe you can charge it while running it. It's not an "IP camera" but it sounds like you don't really need a network camera. Just something that is small and flexible that has the capability of recording for a day or two with...

    Solution to turn on and off Reolink (or any other app) notifications based on GPS location

    I have two of these Tasker scripts that I use (made by a a Ukrainian friend who does code for cheap) to automate certain functions of the Reolink app, but if you know how to use tasker the app can be changed to anything. You will need Tasker, AutoNotification, and some common knowledge of both...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I figured it out but that is one of the least of my concerns. As much as I despise Reolink, the Hikvision doorbell is complete junk. I ranted more about it in this post. It is something that you would have to have set up on blue iris. You literally have to reset the device if you want to...

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell camera

    I actually have the DS-HD2 model. For me the wifi network is capitalized instead of all lower case like in that manual. I found another manual from a google search for wifi cameras in general, but that also didn't help. Time to email Hikvision for the hundredth time.

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell camera

    What is the password to the softap management wifi network? I tried the serial number and the verification number found on the back of the device and neither worked. I also can't find a full manual for this thing either. 90% of the quick start guide just explains how to screw it to the wall...

    Drive by shooting! Why you should always have continuous recording for LPR cameras

    This was a random shooting incident that happened to a couple houses on my street. I was the only one with cameras that caught it. Unfortunately I didn't have the LPR cameras that captured the plate pictures set to continuous recording so I couldn't get their faces inside their vehicles when...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Most doorbells use 12-24VAC. I just tested out the Hikvision DS-HD2 doorbell today and used an old 16VAC power supply from an old alarm system. Needless to say I am also not happy with that either as there is NO webGUI and it makes a beep noise every time you walk by it which can NOT be...

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell camera

    I just installed this camera today. Very different than the usual process for other IP cameras. For starters, you can't change the IP address to static, there is no web GUI, and you can only record to memory card or a Hikvision NVR. Was kind of expecting to be able to record to SMB like other...

    Hikvision PTZ patrol stops for no reason

    Is this still an issue? I am looking at a hikvsion PTZ colorvu camera to replace 3 cameras by having them use a patrol zone and im worried that 24/7 movement like that would reduce the lifespan significantly

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I heard BI smart alerts don't work well with Reolink cameras. Is that true? The only reason I don't use BI is that because I prefer first party software for hardware like this. But if it can handle the human/vehicle detections and supports PTZ controls I might actually consider it. Also what...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Of course you can receive motion notifications like any other camera would, but would you receive notifications from visitors when they push the doorbell button? That is also a useless feature since it just creates a notification instead of using a more suitable interface for calling like...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    You need the reolink app to receive push notifications and also to use the "talk" function to speak to the person ringing the doorbell. It makes no sense to use blue iris for this type of device unless you wanted a low key camera that records audio with no other features. Personally the...
