If they don't use neighbouring properties to gain access, then yeah there are some choke points where I can get good facials. If they use neighbouring properties then they cat get in from any direction. I don't know how likely it is for burglars to come through neighbouring properties in this...

No argument there, my problem is deciding on my requirements for this rear area with the roof access problem. BTW, this is just 1/4 of the plan. We have two houses side by side, and I'm up to 14 cameras. I didn't make a rig, but got up on ladders and recorded the camera at all the different...

Yeah that's fair. I wasn't sure how how much detail to go into, how to organise it sensibly, and whether people had the appetite to read a long ramble full of my misconceptions. If you could point me to what you would consider a good plan that would help me get started. Yes I've spent many...

Thanks for the hallway mode tip! I was testing with a vari-focal turret and found that 12mm/47 degrees seemed to work best in all locations except the one overlooking the main yard on the north side. I'm in Australia/Victoria, and from what I've read the privacy laws re. cameras is a bit of a...

Have recently moved in to a newly built house in a high-density area, and I'm having some trouble figuring out camera angles and placement in our rear yard. It's further complicated in that the lower roof is easy to access via bins, fences and neighbouring roofs. Also, the fences are quite low...

Wow thanks for all the responses. Yes absolutely. I've bought the full version, the Android app and the iOS app. For screen-casting, there are much cheaper non-RTSP options so was just trying to shop around to see if I could stay with Blue Iris for this functionality as well. Thanks, I had...

Thanks Tony, I knew you could buy it from the main website. I'm just scrimping to save a few bucks.

My dedicated PC runs the full version of Blue Iris, which is already recording cameras, which we view from a tablet. I wanted to also view my son's laptop screen from the tablet. I ran a trial Blue Iris LE on my son's laptop to stream his desktop to the dedicated PC, so that his screen is also...

Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a LE / single camera Blue Iris license? I noticed it's not in the ipcamtalk store. Have been using it to screen-cast my son's laptop, to monitor his internet/gaming while his school is online only. It works well, but the price for LE is quite steep...

If you have an Android phone, and you're happy to keep the phone unlocked all the time, then you can do it with an app called Tasker. Bit of a learning curve. I got it working for a Ring doorbell/app + wall mounted android tablet...
