I looked at the JSON API and it seems like one has to get a session and then use the session..

Thank you. Could you please let me know who the seller is on aliexpress? I would like to try some Hikvision Turrets too.

From where did you get Hikvision cameras? Why did you chose them instead of the Dahua ones popular in this forum?

Thank you all for the help. I was just checking if one can get acceptable quality PTZ in the 100-170 price range. How about if I relax the varifocal constraint? Are there any good fixed focus PTZ in the 100-170 price range?

If your router doesnt have VPN server, here is an easy way to setup Open VPN GitHub - Angristan/OpenVPN-install: Improved OpenVPN installer for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and Arch Linux

Thanks @cyberwolf_uk But it is not in the same price range. It is almost double. I am willing to sacrifice quality a little bit to stay in that price range.

What is the next best option if I want a PTZ camera (in the same price range)?

Can you pls PM me a catalog?

Thanks. And I guess the focal length can be adjusted programatically?

Ok, great. My setting is going to be high up in the wall, so to adjust it I have to get a ladder. Is there any way to do it programmatically? For example through Blue Iris or even raw APIs?

I have few questions on the Turret. I understand this doesn't have a PTZ, so one has to manually turn the direction. But once it is fixed to a wall, can I tilt the camera to an angle? How do I do that? How much flexibility do I have in that? Are there any videos that shows how to do this?

Ok, I read the help file again and got it. The naming is a bit confusing. If you can get motion alerts and markings when you do continuous recording, then why do you need another cloned camera with 'triggered' setting? Is it just to create separate video files for motion events that can be...

@fenderman How is the cloned camera setup you described above, different from Triggered + Continous mode of recording?

You can cast your entire desktop using Chromecast. That way, you can cast your BI app and not the web interface.

Is there a Blue Iris API? Where can I get access to the specs?

Will Amazon Echo integration work with the demo version? Amazon Echo is not able to find Blue Iris for me...

Ah, great. I will try that.

@fenderman I have a Windows 7 Pro COA but it is not installed in the hard disk. Will I still be able to use the Windows 10 for assistive users? How do I go about doing that? I found another url from where I can create an ISO. But I don't know how to specify that I am a user of assistive...

Thank you @hmjgriffon

Is it possible for Blue Iris to look at the stream continuously, and if a motion is detected at time t, start storing the footage from time (t-x minutes) to the disk? That way, when a motion is detected, I will have some initial context as well?

Thanks @bobfather

That seems very impressive. I just got an i5-3570 for around $140 with 8GB RAM. Are all these cameras recording always or only on Motion?

@triumph202 Did you get your cameras? Any updates?

@-RJ- Please keep us posted on your build. I purchased an Intel Core i5-3570 @ 3.40GHz 8GB 500GB HDD Windows 7 Pro for $145. I am planning to have around 5 3MP cameras with 30fps. Do you guys think this machine can handle that?

Thank you very much ChrisULM. This is very helpful.

Thank you very much. I guess you would need to buy the desktop bundle for SATA connectors and such? Also what kind of RAM will work with it? Any links? (Sorry, a newbie here).

I am planning to buy the same server. Can you please let me know which SSD/hard drive did you add? And any problems so far?
