I don't think I did.
It's just two cameras with the plan to add several more PTZ cameras.
OptiPlex Small Form Factor Plus 7020
Intel Core i7 processor 14700 vPro (33 MB cache, 20 cores, 28 threads, up to 5.3 GHz Turbo, 65W)
Windows 11 Pro
32 GB: 2 x 16 GB, DDR5
Both cameras are connected to a TP-Link TL-SG1005P 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch >>>
Fiber back to house via a Media Bridge >>>
TRENDnet TEG-S17D 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch TEG-S17D >>>
TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Network Switch >>>
Blue Iris on the Dell Optiplex
I'm having to run it this way, at least temporarily, until I can get rid of my Alarm.com system, which is in the same room as the BI computer. The
TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Network Switch is used to bypass the switch that has all the Alarm.com cams connected to it and its NVR.
I'd like to setup a VPN and dual NIC, but I'm a novice at networking... know just enough to be dangerous with it at this point.
EDIT: Just disconnected the switch from the router... killed my Internet on the BI computer, but I could still see the cams in BI and login to their respective IP address and view them live.
