It's another device to charge and mess with - I don't want to have to introduce any new hardware or things to maintain.

@SecuritySeeker - Trust me, I've tried everything I can think of! It drives me insane...she's so great in so many ways, but turning off lights, closing doors and turning off TV's aren't her strong suit. @wittaj - I'm not super keen on that, as I don't love the location tracking and she often...

Thanks for the reply. I have Control4, and have the Tesla integrated in there as well. Basically, what happens is my wife leaves all the time, and leaves every single light, TV, etc... on in the house. I want to create programming so that if it's during the day (kids all in school) and she...

I've got a camera in my garage, that has a clear image of the two cars inside of it. I'm wondering - is it possible for me to use Blue Iris to get notifications when a car comes or goes? What I'd love to do is use logic with my control system, to have certain things happen in my house based on...

Thank you. I'm aware that the processor has been around for a while. I can also appreciate what you're saying around power consumption. I can also browse through the Wiki again with regards to hardware. I put this together for free using stuff I had around the office and for now I'm going to...

Fenderman, thanks for the reply. When I say closed, I mean the application isn't running. The application is closed, and my control system can't see the cameras (because it accesses them via BlueIris). I am running the latest version of BlueIris, 5.2.1.4. In the PC settings, for processor it...

Got it, thanks!

It seems like everytime I come down to the computer that BlueIris is running on, the BlueIris app has closed. What can I do to keep the application from closing? This is a nice computer with i7 processor, 32GB of Ram, etc... It's a clean OS, with the only apps installed being BlueIris and...

I’m brand new to Blue Iris, and looking forward to getting everything setup. One question I have - does BlueIris have the ability to support the detection of an action and alert on that? IE: Could I record a black car pulling in to the driveway, and tell BlueIris to alert me when that action...

Thanks for the reply, but I don't want the cameras for the police to "identify a perp". Obviously that's a side benefit, but I just like to keep an eye on what's going as I travel a bunch, have a bunch of kids and a swimming pool and hot tub. It's more around convenience for me to see if someone...

That's a great idea, and I didn't know that was possible! Thank you. I'll play around with that.

aristobrat, thank you - that's great advice! Through BlueIris I can do things with the lights when motion is detected...I don't know that the active deterrent is appealing. I like the 2.8MM wide angle camera though in white.

Maybe the same camera is the best way to go. I agree that they are great cameras. I’m not looking for face recognition or anything like that. I just didn’t know if due to the different viewing angles/field of view in these spaces if there was another product that might work better. That’s all.

No suggestions?

So, I've placed a bunch of these around my property, and they've been great! They seem to do really well in low light, and in general I'm really happy with them. The areas where I've placed them, they're looking out over broad areas of the property. I'm looking for suggestions on 2 cameras for...
