Well probably a stupid question but can I run Blue Iris server on an android tablet, and run from it and store video on it (or cloud?) instead of a PC? Would like to use Blue Iris for management, motion alerts, etc. but both computers in the house are laptops that come with us daily to work...

I just received my first IP camera (Foscam C1). It manages to send me a motion detection email, which is slow to get. Do the push notifications on the Hikvision app come instantly? Does the app have to be open to receive them? What if the phone is asleep? Are the motion detections fairly...

I am trying to set this camera I just received yesterday to send me instant alerts. I understand that push notifications (android) are not supported, but I have managed to get it to send me an email, and my mail app notifies me. But it takes 3+ minutes. My thinking is that if I can get it to...

I did look into it a bit and you are right it would be ideal for my purposes, but like I said I do not have a computer at home running 24/7 in order to use it. The wife and I both have laptops which are both our personal PCs and come with us daily for work..

I did not know they were so sensitive to other movements in the cameras field of view and maybe assumed they would have came up with techniques to reduce false alerts. That said, the area this will be placed is pretty static and there shouldn't be much of anything that would set off an alert...

If I can just get a notification on my phone, it can just be text-only. Anything like "motion detected on backyard camera," is all I'm looking for. Not necessarily any video or screens themselves (unless I am misunderstanding what you mean by 'push video'), although that would be good, if I can...

I like it. Problem is, you guessed it, I don't have a computer that is up and running 24/7 at the moment (which is required correct?). But I can see that would be my best option if I did. What is my next alternative? Am I understanding this right that the Hikvision IP cams have a way to send a...

[my problem for Blue Iris is I do not have a 24/7 computer running locally] I am looking for a solution that will allow me to receive instant motion detection alerts. Push notifications on my Android phone specifically. So, I bought a Foscam C1 on sale on Amazon, which has not been delivered...
