    Giving up on PC + Blue Iris- should I try an NVR?

    I've hoping the NVR would take care of the security aspects also. Darn.

    Giving up on PC + Blue Iris- should I try an NVR?

    I have a dual NIC PC that is only used for the camera system. Assuming I can fix my new IP address conflict, here are the problems I still have: Playback is jerky on the PC or on Android. Playback repeats or loops on IOS phone. I don't know how to set up notifications on the phones. I am hoping...

    5442T-ZE stopped working

    30 second reset didn't do anything. Yes the red leds glow when I have it gave down, when I pick it up it clicks and they turn off.

    5442T-ZE stopped working

    This camera has been working for about 6 months. I had the system shut down for a couple weeks while I was busy with other things. When I started it back up the 5442T-ZE didn't connect with Blue Iris. The other camera on my system is working fine (T2231T-zS). I didn't touch any wiring or make...

    Remote Access Wizard

    What about Stunnel? Is it ok to use that? I don't have access to my router - IPS provides an app to see what devices are connected but I don't seem to be able to do much.

    Remote Access Wizard

    The Remote Access Wizard in Blue Iris says to forward a port. Since we're not supposed to do that, how do I get remote access to work? Can someone point me to a thread or wiki or???

    Yet another VTO, Home Assistant, Kwikset, DahuaVTO2MQTT discussion

    Hi dmc, Hey do you think something similar could be done to have HA know when the VTO button is pressed? Then I could have HA ring the doorbell. I don't have a VTH. Thanks!

    Computer vs. camera security

    Thinking about this further- I have a Smart things hub and a Carrier thermostat that I access remotely without using VPN. How insecure is this? If I put VPN on my router would these still be accessible?

    Computer vs. camera security

    Another follow up: if i connect the camera to the router without a vpn and use P2P does that "blow a hole through my firewall?"

    Computer vs. camera security

    MikeA, so if I don't rely on the pc firewall then I guess I am relying on the router right? In that case, if I put the camera behind the router then does that protect it? Still trying to understand why I need a VPN if I don't need one for my pc.

    Computer vs. camera security

    So why do I need to be more concerned about security with a camera than I do with a PC? Is it because the PC operating system usually has a firewall and the camera doesn't?

    House under construction - temporary camera?

    The POE hub would be indoors. The camera is rated for outdoor use. Good idea about the SD card. With a direct connection,router-hub-camera would I use DmSS? Should I set the router to block anything?

Medicare has no out of pocket maximum so I buy a Medicare supplement plan which costs $209. So my monthly cost is...

    Hi, if you get desperate I could probably reverse engineer it and have one 3D printed for you. You would need to send me the broken one, cost to print would be around $20, plus something for my time.

    Red border on some video clips???

    I'm getting Blue Iris set up and am experimenting with a couple of cameras. I have some video clips in the left hand pane that don't have any border. But I have a couple that have a red border. I can't delete (destroy) them. What does the red border mean and what is different about those...
