What kind of bitrate would you recommend for a sub stream? I understand this will depend on what I end up using. I referred to the "Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris" and "Sub Stream Guide" posts. It looks like 12 cameras at 1080P at 15 FPS would be roughly 372 MP/s. Multiplying that by 10 would...

First question is: are there any quality NVRs that are able to stream multiple camera feeds at full 4K. I'm curious because I know of some Blue Iris setups I've seen online where I would imagine they are more powerful than a NVR, but they struggle to have multiple 4K streams and they rely on...

I don't understand Amcrest's lineup of cameras. Most of their cameras, even the high res ones, use ~1/2.7-2.8" sensors which wouldn't be too great for night time applications. But I did a little more digging and found that their 4k camera with the biggest sensor (1/1.8") is an analog camera...

Hello Andy. Do you sell analog/HDCVI Dahua cameras by any chance? I know this is a very old tech and most people now buy IP, but I cannot afford to replace all the wiring in the large building I'm planning on replacing cameras.

Hello fenderman, Could you elaborate further by what you mean with commercial solution with failover? What's an example of this? I tried googling this and it seems that this is related to having multiple NVRs or DVRs in case one fails. Am I on the right track?

I've been doing some research into security cameras and it feels like a rabbit hole. Time consuming, but learning about all of this is kind of exciting. I realize that BNC is aging tech. I'm dealing with a large commercial building, so rewiring will be difficult for someone like me. This is not...

I don't have any IoT devices, but I do plan on setting up a Google Chromecast. Right now I have only PCs, phones, and the DVR connected to the network. I think I will look into VLAN setup anyway as it seems like the more secure method and I want to have a guest network setup anyway. I'm using...

I have a DVR system setup on my network. I access it using a VPN and port forwarding has been disabled. I also blocked the camera itself from the internet using an iptable firewall rule. I confirmed that the camera was inaccessible through port forwarding when I had this rule setup, so I believe...

How would I go about doing this? I have no clue where to even get started with this. I did try changing my router's local IP to the 10.x.0.0 IP that matched what the device on VPN would get, but it totally messed up my internet connection for my devices whenever I connected to the VPN, so I...

When I connect to OpenVPN it assigns me the IP address in that 10.x.0.0 range you mentioned. What I'm working on right now is configuring the router to have a local IP in that range. I'm hoping that doing all of this might help me access the cameras. I'm trying a bunch of different things as...

I’m able to use Putty to access the Raspberry Pi itself and, as I mentioned, the router too.

I've setup a raspberry pi with openvpn using pivpn. I can use the VPN to access my home network, but I'm unable to access my Northern Video NVR that is connected to the network. When I connect back to my home network directly (no VPN), I can use the ip address of the NVR to view the NVR streams...
