    How do I renew and upgrade blue Iris since they've moved payment provider?

    Thanks for the update..... Would assume that the old Digital River provider did not forward any auto renew records to the new payment gateway firm. Thus if DR was set for auto renew that is now a dead issue. i.e. a new auto renew will be required for the new payment gateway firm.

    How do I renew and upgrade blue Iris since they've moved payment provider?

    Is the price listed in the column at BASIC (EXTENDED FOR $34.95 /YR) not correct? Or is the price listed in the blue box Extended maintenance ($39.95/single year) not correct. Guess the question is what is the correct price????

    Also use the Kline tool but a different model number (VDV226-011) which works well. Have not used the pass through type of RJ-45 connectors. Be sure to use T-568B as the wiring guide. And as an extra, crimp three times to make sure it is making a good connection. The other device that...

    True Cable out of Kansas City is another option for cable. Good call on Belden and it is a great cable, but costly. Plenum is not needed unless the cable run is part of a ceiling or other space that is being used as part of your air return or supply system. What is generally required is riser...

    Newbie with the most basic installation set-up questions

    Glad you found a solution. Cat-5e is fine for the POE cameras. Most only use about 10 megs per camera so it would take a lot of cameras to exceed the bandwidth of Cat-5e. Some like to future proof with Cat-6, but the choice is yours. Make sure that whatever you purchase is pure copper. NO...

    Newbie with the most basic installation set-up questions

    Some ideas to consider. 1) Many POE switches have either a brick or a power wart for power. Consider cutting the output wire (48 VDC line) and adding an extension of the proper gauge wire to handle the load. Thus the 110 VAC input part of the system can be kept out of the attic. Have used...

    Exporting Issue

    Some run their systems with continuous. It eliminates the issue of missing something that would otherwise be recorded in a lessor quality sub. Others run a combination of main and sub to save on disk space. Another choice is to use only continuous on cameras that have the highest priority or...

    real basic stuff

    The answer is no. Each POE camera requires one CAT-5 line back to a POE switch. i.e. one cable per camera. Some run one CAT-5 line from a central location back to their main POE switch. Then at the far end of the run they add a remote POE switch. That remote switch requires power and thus...

    Blue Iris Over Internet

    How close is the friends house? Does the friend require access to review the video feed either live or as a time line? 1) If within 100 meters then run a CAT-5 for your camera data. 2) Or if within line of sight then an RF link like the airMAX LiteBeam 5AC. 3) Or if close and on the same...

    floodlights

    The issue with POE external white lighting is that the POE switch or other POE power source has to have sufficient power available to run a camera plus the added lighting. If the POE switch has a port rating of 15 watts then a camera that uses 7 watts will leave 8 watts or perhaps a little less...

    Tailscale and Blue Iris help please.

    Nice that you have it working. When using with UI3 on the phone, keep the "Quality" level in the range of 480 p or even 360 p if the image is of the needed quality to save cell data. To be on the safe side it is best to keep TS off unless it is needed. Use that procedure on this end...
