Hello--yes, the camera is ancient, but it worked fully years ago with all options enabled. Dusted it off and had to do a reset as I forgot the password. Updated to the latest firmware, camera is wired, static IP assigned, port forward enabled, email enable (and tested), ftp enabled (and tested)...

Newbie attempting 2 projects. This project is putting cameras around my parents complex (based on my learnings from the 1st project.) I would like to put 8 dome cameras in the garage...but I can't wire or even PoE. (Too many concrete hangs would make conduit bends a nightmare and leaving the...

I recall reading posts from you and others about that. Was hoping for a starting point. If I get a 1TB drive (c:) and it only stores 5 days of recording and I decided to get a second drive, will Blue Iris handle recording to the additional drive (d:)? Any thoughts on NOT using the more...

Waiting for a sale/coupon/discount on the computer. Two additional questions: 1) How much HD space would you suggest for running the 8 cameras with 24/7 recording for 1 week? 2) I am planning on running Cat6 STP Solid cable...outside; up and down my walls, etc. Since all termination points...

Which routers have you used? I don't need over-kill. :cool:

I will take a look at Blue Iris. I was hoping not to purchase another computer. I'll have to boot-up the computer, get the specs and report back. Hopefully they will be okay and/or the motherboard will support the CPU upgrade. Also, how much HD space would I need for the 8 cameras recording...

Thank you for the quick reply and feedback. Any thoughts on software suggestion and if I can use the Windows 7 computer? Should I stick with the Linksys routers?

Newbie trying to put cameras around my house. I have Charter internet with the plan on connecting it to a Linksys WRT1900ACS router. Feeds a desktop computer used from internet browsing, Netflix streaming, etc. Feeds a Linksys LGS308p POE router about 75 feet away. Feeds a Windows 7 8MB RAM...

Anyone?

I manage an apartment building and would like to install outdoor PoE pan/tilt/zoom cameras to cover 5 areas. Looking at the picture, black lines represents PoE running from apartments, yellow are the (yellow) lights pointing toward the building, green are areas to be covered. (Two additional...
