    Second home set up in Blue Iris

    Recording directly to another location just adds two more points of failure. If either location loses Internet connectivity, the recordings will be lost.

    Cat6, Fiber optics, or wireless bridge to shed

    Fiber would be my choice as it will not be affected by the power line. It will also prevent possible ground loop issues in the future. Use pre-terminated cables unless you already know how to terminate fiber.

    Screenshots- Amcrest 4k (2.8 lens) vs Empiretech 4MP (2.8-12 lens)

    Same here. It works fine with my Chromium based browsers other than the constant nagging to install the web plugin. I wish there was a way to disable it :p

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Some of my considerations when I consider setting up a VLAN include, 1. Group devices with similar functions 2. Group devices with similar security requirements 3. The need to inspect or control traffic to and from the VLAN. Traffic within the same VLANs are not easily inspected or controlled...

    What are the lengths of your outdoor cables? You did say the NVR is 4 feet away but I just want to confirm. Can you take you outdoor cables inside and test them with the camera? Did you try with a pre-made cable?

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    I believe @master_tinkerer understands overall network concepts pretty well though. The network diagram shows a network that is more complex that 99.9% of most homes and small businesses. There is the router symbol on the Netgear PR60X but no indication of a trunk between it and the Netgear...

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    In your example, there are two network segments mentioned: VLAN 20 with the subnet 192.168.0.0/24, and another segment with the subnet 192.168.20.0/24. It's presumed that both subnets use a netmask of 255.255.255.0. VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow for the logical segmentation of...

    I just encountered the bug too and came looking here for a solution. Looks like it might take a while, if ever, for it to be fixed.
