    BI best practices

    I received my order from @EMPIRETECANDY saturday via DHL. I went with 4x 5231R-Z, 2x 4231EM-AS and 1x 49225T-HN. I have a cisco 2960 poe+ 24 port gigabit switch and a dell optiplex 9020 with dual NIC, 16GB ram, 250GB SSD system drive and 2x 8TB WD purple for storage. I decided to build all...

    DDNS Question

    thats a lot of addresses. I would change the range from 2-254 to something like 150-254

    DDNS Question

    on your router's interface it should state dhcp enabled and range is like 100-200. You need to log in to your router and check under lan settings to see what the dhcp scope or range is set to and then pick anything you haven't already used. The max for any /24 subnet (255.255.255.0) is...

    DDNS Question

    pick an address that is not in the dhcp scope (in other words don't assign it an address that it leased from the router)

    Blue Iris and VPN service accessed externally?

    You could also come off the verizon router, leaving TVs, telephones, etc connected directly to the verizon device and also plug in your own router for all the PCs, tablets, phones, wifi at this level. place your router in the verizon router's DMZ and roll like everyone else with openvpn on your...

    Customer request - any suggestions?

    gopro or possibly dslr/camcorder. Only reason I suggest gopro is you can easily power it from external battery pack via usb and store 4hrs on 128GB sd @4k30

    Yes this is what I am referring to

    Viewing Remotely from LAN not working, but is via WAN

    but is wifi isolation turned off? Do you have any other devices on the subnet you can test connectivity with such as a printer?

    Viewing Remotely from LAN not working, but is via WAN

    one or both of the wifi networks on your main router is configured as a guest network and is probably in its own vlan/bridge group. Build straight wifi networks not guest networks or turn off guest network isoltation

    COMPUTER for BI

    COMPUTER for BI

    I'd hit the yellow pages and look for a local source to custom build something then. The ripoff rate is high though, you will pay more and get less but if you require support that will be your best option.

    PC hardware, components - BI

    I have access to a very limited supply of decommissioned dell optiplex machines. All machines have 8GB Ram and win7 pro licenses but obviously hard drives have been removed for security purposes. I have a few different models: 9010 towers- core i5-4570 CPU, 8GB ram, Win 7 pro license. 9010...

    What Instead of Foscam?

    no man let's back it up. as for my reading the advice across the forum is the starlight series of cams from dahua. It is the best bang for the buck, not enterprise or commercial "casino" grade but the best price/performance for the above average man who will take the time to optimize camera...

    What Instead of Foscam?

    my no compromise solution addressed every bullet item on your list I did not reference CCTV one time, all IP I did not reference a cheap cam I did not advise to use port forwarding, explicitly called for VPN I did not advise SD card as primary, NVR all the way I did not offer free software as...

    Blue Iris Non-Admin/Admin

    You may need to implement an enterprise solution if you need ultimate authority and control. I deal with this a lot, application owners or business unit technical leads procure software then consider security after the fact. I have no experience with BI yet so I am not certain what can and...

    Blue Iris Non-Admin/Admin

    just saw the AD bit, we also have this requirement so will have no choice but to find a way to make it work on your own because it is not designed to work that way. This means YMMV and at your own risk. I would start by adding (not replacing) modify permissions for the non-admin account to the...

    Blue Iris Non-Admin/Admin

    actually implies it is written correctly. non-admins should not be configuring appliances or software configurations...that makes them an administrator by definition. In some cases you may have the need for a user on a production workstation to have elevated access to a specific application but...

    Blue Iris Non-Admin/Admin

    my understanding is local admin is required. You could attempt to grant additional NTFS permissions manually but I don't see anything documenting this. I did find this from another site: "By default, when you run the software, you must be using an administrator account and/or answer Yes to...

    What Instead of Foscam?

    you're going to have to search, this is a pretty open topic right now as you've posted with the request being to provide a digest of this entire site. The "sacrifice nothing" solution is a dedicated multi-homed PC (2 network cards) running BI with a collection of IP cams connected to a...

    WiFi and NVR

    You will need wifi cams, the NVR can eat a cable back at the main connection point. You still have to power the cameras and have a way to reboot them when they WILL need to be rebooted. I strongly advise against wifi solutions. Pull the wire, drill the holes, avoid the headache

    Blue Iris Non-Admin/Admin

    I know nothing of BI yet but in some software instances you must manually grant modify or above for the directories that house the config files if you wish for non-admin users to have elevated access to a specific app. Is BI running as a service? That may make a difference. for registry-based...

    150 IP Camera Project : Need Suggestions

    Do you also have long term retention/archive requirements or just a "recent history" of <90 days? I don't know anything about BI yet but without SQL or ORACLE db running the show I would think there would be limitations (performance, efficiency or even caps) for indexing clips and events from...

    Blue Iris App iPhone will one connect remotely.

    the 2.4ghz must be configured as a guest network or vlan/bridge group is different

    Blue Iris App iPhone will one connect remotely.

    dumb question but you are connected to your home's wifi correct? so if you google "what is my ip" from your phone, BI server and the other PC they all have the same result? Any chance someone configured your wifi to be a guest network and therefor be on a separate vlan?

    Advice wireless ip cameras

    you can do it that way but they work best with direct line of site which means the endpoint needs to face the head end. general direction is good enough for short distances but you may encounter issues with a secondary site broadcasting "from the side" so to speak. think of bridge mode as a...

    mounting box ideas

    I am prepping a new install/upgrade of existing cameras. I am not exactly in love with the exact placement of my current cams so I am looking for options. I have 2 holes on each corner of the house but they are closer to the house than I want and I dont want to drill new holes (soffit). My...
