    Do you turn off camera time overlay?

    Its 2018. Font libraries are abundant, and memory is cheap (although more expensive in the last 24 months). I don't think asking for a 2018 font on a 1080p image is really a huge ask! That said, I am EXTREMELY pleased with Blue Iris and the image quality on the DW2231R-ZS!!!

    Do you turn off camera time overlay?

    I didn't see that setting is on my Dahuas. While the overlay is functional and serves its purpose, it is clunky looking. At least to make make it look better than Atari 2600 font. :)

    Do you turn off camera time overlay?

    Was looking at this today and realized how nice the Blue Iris camera names and time overlays look. Yet the overlays generated from the cameras look like VCR quality from the 80s. Not what I expected from hardware of this resolution.

    Some specific questions on OpenVPN setup

    I tried to set up port forwarding, but the modem config it is telling me "Invalid IP address." I tried to forward to the 192.x address of the router, and even the 10.x (local address of the VPN server) I guess I am confused on how bridging works- 1) The WAN side of the MODEM has an IP address...
