    Need help watching elderly parents via cloud + BI

    My parents are in an independent living facility with excellent free wifi (500+mbps). However, it's double-NATed, with no ability to pull a public IP or access port forwarding. I'm able to connect to his PC using RealVNC's cloud services, but nothing that requires port-forwarding works. I...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Anyone having issues getting PIP to work in Brave? It's been working great until a couple days ago and now the main screen goes black, but no PIP. Works good in Chrome. It may be on my system. Resolved... Turns out somehow the PIP went to the background - behind everything else (vs...

    Legally, nothing. They are protected migratory birds. Big fines and criminal liability.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    I can't speak to new installations, but the Flock cameras that have been around for several years here in mid-TN are now noticeably brighter red strobing LEDs. I suspect they're retro-fitting their existing installations - at least here in 3M printed-plate heaven, TN.

    Finally got that bobcat...

    I'm using Blue Iris' UI3 to export short segments of the BVR files. That's the first and second video. The third video from the scope was about 45 seconds long, so I ran it through a shareware program called Avidemux to shorten it to the final 14 seconds. It's great for making simple edit...

    Finally got that bobcat...

    It's what I'd used earlier to zero in the scope. I had bought tons of it years ago. It is cheap. That brass casing actually got stuck in the breach after it fired. Extractor ripped the edge off the casing. Had to push it out from the muzzle side with a cleaning rod. I suspect it's cheap...

    Morning Aurora (August 4, 2024)

    That's so much more beautiful than the one we captured a few months ago that came further south than TN. Ours only lasted about 20 minutes and I couldn't see it with my naked eyes.

    Finally got that bobcat...

    On the very last evening of the nighttime bobcat hunting season too, imagine that! It started as it usually does. Mr. Bobcat is visiting the all-you-can-eat chicken buffet bar... But while patiently sitting pretty (and still) looking for an opportunity, the...

    Everything likes chicken... even owls

    If it's not bobcat, racoon, or coyote, it's owls. This Great Horned is particularly persistent. He's gotten at least 6 over the last month. I've had to keep them locked up 24/7 since then. This same owl managed to get into the run through an automatic door (before I had...

    Thank you! Not the end of the world but knowing I wasn't going crazy helps.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Quick question about the convert/export list on UI3. When I export something, in the past, I could go to the "convert/export list" on UI3 and see what I've exported recently. Now, that list is always empty. If I don't save it immediately as a clip is finished exporting, it vanishes...

    Coyote nabs one of my chickens - Thermal vs. Optical

    Yes! And after watching a few YouTube videos, and spending some time at Rural King, the trap is set. Right at the spot where he surveilled the chickens. I set it about 2 hours ago. RK didn't have any coyote or bobcat lure, so I used red fox gland lure. I have the coyote stuff on order...

    Coyote nabs one of my chickens - Thermal vs. Optical

    I have one of those. It's darn near cheating. I gave my "night vision" IR-illuminated ATN scope away after going thermal.

    No offense taken. I'm grateful for suggestions.
