Hi guys I'll explain my use case first. I can't view my cameras at work, so to be able to get something, I use Pushover and a rule in Sharptools to trigger my cameras and have them send over a snapshot. Not a big deal, but I usually get an older snapshot first, from a previous trigger or a...

That's perfect and seems to work. I used to have ports open, but I closed it for the VPN. I'm also running the router behind a NAT, that has ports forwarded to let a VPN run, but I'll try if it still works without them, since that was for a different approach than OpenVPN. I already have static...

I checked and that option was already unchecked. But on the same reasoning, is it okay to run it with no login request on any connection? And then only allow connection from set IP's as an extra safety? So it's only working on LAN and specific IP's from the LAN and VPN. This confuses me...

I guess it's setup okay. I'm using a TP-link ER605 with OpenVPN. Not much setting up to do. Will try this tonight, thanks!

I'll add I searched and googled and only found other people with the same issue, but in the end they either had a different situation or other people started talking about a lot of things I don't understand and concluded it wasn't a solution. Thanks for the help anyway.

I realise this might have been covered here, but I'm too lazy to find it in these 76 pages. I'm using OpenVPN on a TP-link Omada controller, works fine. Except I'm also using Sharptools to view a dashboard, which can display my camera's. It works fine when I add my credentials in the link, but...

I discovered 1 single camera was causing the issue. I removed it and added it back and it seems to have fixed the issue ‍ To add info anyway: it was my Hikvision camera, When viewing from BI there was no issue from whatever medium I viewed, but direct view from local or external address made it...

Today I noticed on my Sharptools tablet, the cameras were down. Usually this is fixed by a refresh, but nothing. When I looked at my blue iris server, I noticed nothing special, untill I tried to look at my phone dashboard while at the PC. The moment I tried viewing the cameras and the page...

They are marten, is the translation I find. Annoying creatures, they're protected, so you can't catch them. But they go nuts over fish oil used in a lot of rubber and plastics. They are famous for eating car wiring and hoses. Few years ago I had under bonnet washers and it was a miracle the car...

Sorry for the phone capture, was a quicky this way. First catch on camera, we noticed a little figurine was knocked over, so searched for the cause... Feel free to give me more settings advice maybe. But I'm pretty happy with the image.

I'm not very much a network guy, the tutorials I read to put another router, behind my ISP router, all say to not use the ISP router's ip range. So I don't think I can do that. In the mean time, I got the Dahua back, by connecting my pc to the other router, going to the IP of Dahua and change...

Woops, the 102 was a typo, it's also 192. Only difference is the 0 instead of 1. I only have 1 hikvision and 1 dahua, can I do them simultaneously?

New obstacle, I installed the TP-link ER605, took me a while, but got my internet working, my wired computer shows up and the powerline adapter where my camera's are also hooked upto, that wifi works. But I don't see my cameras, it seems all my devices IP-addresses changed from 192.168.1.xxx to...

I was more interested in the door being fully open or closed. So I put contact sensors at the top of the rail and the bottom. I use Sharptools to convert the 2 signals into an open or closed status. The door takes about 30 seconds, so when either of the contacts change, it shows 30 seconds...

Yup, I did the same and returned them after the advice I got here. Thing is, I wanted to get going, was playing with the idea a while, but wasn't constantly looking stuff up about it, so did a quick search and started collecting all the equipment. I found this website, because I preferred Blue...

Took me hours to find the Hikvision in Blue Iris. For some reason there was no problem finding it on my phone, but on the PC I couldn't find it. It also kept losing connection in their app. After hours I checked what devices were connected to my router and... I had 2 devices with the same IP...

Finally they're in position. The back yard has the Dahua, the driveway is the Hikvision. Just installing it, they both have their positives and negatives. The Hikvision comes with regular cross head screws, the Dahua with inbus (don't know for sure it's called that in English). But then the...

Yeey, Dahua arrived. Just plugged it in to see if it works. Can't wait to play some more with it.

Should I be able to put a router behind my isp router, with vpn and have my wifi ap's behind there. Then still enable the wifi, with different ssid, on my isp router for cloud wifi cams? Would it be safer?

I was hoping something like that would exist But I might have understood it wrong.

That's why I was wondering if there's a VPN way, without adding software (which is highly likely I can't install anyway). I briefly read about using VPN client router. But I'll only know if I can reach it after I try.

I work in a prison. We only recently gained "general internet access". Every floor or position has a pc and I can work at a different position every day. Cell phones are generally not allowed in the whole building (some exceptions for certain people). I generally don't talk about my job a lot...

I don't have my phone at work. My only outside communication is that pc.

Superb, thank you! The issue I have with remote viewing, besides the security risks, is I'd like to view them from my workplace. Which has a pretty secure network and a lot of block filters. Since I'm also not an administrator and use a different machine every day, I'm not sure if OpenVPN is...

So now onto the dumb questions, I don't immediately find an answer for or I still need to research. Blue iris has loads of settings, I want continuous recording and I saw a few tips. But since I only have 1 drive, is there any use of the "stored" folder? It's just moving stuff, but not really...

So I ordered 2 new camera's. After some head exploding, trying to wrap my head around everything, I decided I'd need an overview camera anyway and also got 1 vario focal to try things out with. Went with these 2, since I'm trying to keep a bit of budget system and Hikvision seems to be the...

Will be searching bullets then. The ones at work, I assume are a different budget class too though, they're Bosch and the likes of that. I'm looking at 6 outside dome camera's right at this moment, they've been there for years, it's been raining today and they're all spotless. Some of them are...

I was planning on placing the dome on one of those arms, so it's facing downwards. Does that help? Looks like it has a large body and with the small lens cover, hanging downwards, I'd think not much rain gets to it?

Dome?

I'm not fully up and running with the naming yet. I posted the wrong screenshot and updated. I wonder how they work at where I work though. We have tons of domes outside and most of the time they're okay, except for a few with marring on the glass, which are hell. Rain isn't much of a problem...
