    Suggestions for indoor wifi cameras with Blue Iris for occasional use when traveling

    I have a number of good outdoor permanently mounted POE cameras connected to my Blue Iris system. However, when we travel, I like to use some cameras in various locations of the house to keep an eye on the place and have eyes in case of a problem. To do this, I have used a few older Foscam Wifi...

    Dahua SD49225XA-HNR step-by-step configuration and settings with BI and tracking

    I have received my SD49225 from Andy with the auto tracking firmware. Finally have time to unbox it and install it (both physically and on my Blue Iris). It has been a couple of years since I have installed new cameras. On top of it, this one has new (great) features including of course...

    Problems with DS-2CD2732F-ISw - need help

    I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-ISw that works fine part of the time, and not at all part of the time. Pretty much every day, the camera goes offline for several hours and I can't access it, neither from my Synology DS system, BlueIris or even straight web access via IP address. I am not sure...

    NVR or BI

    I have 3 Hikvision cameras connected to a Synology NAS and accessible via a Control4 system too. I am planning to add another 10 cameras or so and the Synology Surveillance system will be prohibitively expensive. As a result, I am considering buying a NVR, probably LTS or HikVision. A few...
