    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    It will depend on if your router supports it. It’s called site-to-site VPN. I use Peplink routers in three locations and have all three of them running in a site-to-site VPN so I can access all of them from any of the three locations. Do a search on site to site vpn for your specific brand router.

    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    It can be done. I’d VPN the two routers together so you don’t have to use port forwarding. Then you’d want secondary backup internet at both locations (especially the one hosting the BI server). So long as you have enough upstream bandwidth at the location that is sending to the remote BI...

    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    I don’t understand your question. You will have to have another license of BI to use it concurrently at two locations. Are you asking about hosting one BI instance at your home (or cloud) and then having all cameras from both locations connect back to a single instance? That’s a bad idea. If...

    Mini-Review - 5241-Z12E-S2 - Replacement for the 5241-Z12E

    You talking about the screw that tightens down so you can set the placement of where the camera is pointing to? I didn't have issues with the screw but I do have issues on how the camera mount "teeth" align. I've noticed when tightening down that screw, the camera will move some from where I...

    Is blocking the internet secure enough?

    Block them from connecting to the internet and putting them on their own VLAN is normally sufficient. You can block inter vlan routing for that vlan and see if you can still access them. That would further insulate that vlan from the rest of your network.

    ONVIF - Only Certain Areas & Alert Types

    Well your settings look close to mine except I use intrusion boxes. You might try deleting the cam from BI and then re-adding it.

    ONVIF - Only Certain Areas & Alert Types

    Yes. I wouldnt own them if they couldn’t. I use one exclusively for alerting me to people walking onto my driveway.

    Yes. I've never seen an issue with Dahua cams like you are having unfortunately.
