    Building my home network

    Coop photo. It's 6x8 while the run is 10x20. I have concerns about a neighbor killing then with a pellet gun so I want cameras on them in addition to wanting cameras on them anyway. I plan on putting a small box inside the coop to house the switch.

    Building my home network

    So Install a Dual NIC in my Blue Iris Computer and have one going to the cctv switch and the other to the main home network switch? Makes sense... Then the office computers and tvs in the house will be on the main home network switch while isolating the cctv and BI stuff. Correct?

    IPVM Alternative cctv design tool

    Looks like I found an alternative to the absurd price of ipvm. I'll be subscribing this weekend and testing it out. It's $48 euro pounds or $51 usd a year.... I know several of us have been looking around and I'm curious if anyone's used this option. Here's the company and their response...

    So I have a buddy who wants a general 4 camera system and I've been recommending the Amcrest over reolink. I know this is a long standing debate, but for someone who can't self troubleshoot and I don't want to help I just need to recommend the best basic system and am down to these two. The...
