    Blue Iris Camera Compatibility.

    @TonyR Thanks for the great idea on usage of this camera. I need one pointing at all hardware in my closet to help my wife troubleshoot when I'm away from the house HAHAHA

    Wyze Cam v3

    Throwing my name in the hat as well. I'm currently testing the wyze v3 cameras flashed with RTSP firmware in a remote location. Setting it up was a little more tricky having to create a hotspot from my phone for internet access as it's required to "register" each camera and do the setup in the...

    Basic Indoor camera

    That camera has a lot of bang for the money. Mine are still holding up strong after a few years now.

    Front Door Camera Location

    It may help to show us a overall picture of the view from the doorway and how people walk up to the door. Straight path? is there coverage? streetview, sunrise/sunset location.

    Front Door Camera Location

    Wedge should be fine. Might be able to mount it on the side wall instead of the door frame for a cleaner install.

    Recording 24/7 and saving clips

    Looks like hp z-240’s are coming off lease (i7-6700).. are they good?
