7 seconds seems like a lot. Is mode set to Low? How much RAM in the unit? I think the 218+ uses a dual-core processor so may just be too much for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure about that specific model, but Dahua cameras are generally well-supported on Synology. Check out my post on using Deepstack AI as it’ll work with any camera supported by Synology; will also cost much less for non-AI cameras. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s your DSM login information. Also, go with the cpu-x3-beta docker image as it seems to work better and use less resources. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I would share something I came across and tested recently. I personally still feel Blue Iris is a better option due to its pricing and customizability, but for those of you with a Synology NAS who like to tinker, this may work if you just need a couple of cameras. I did not come up...

The point of the post was not to discuss the superiority of PC vs. Macs or Build vs. Buy; folks have done that for decades. I'm actually agnostic as I use Mac, PC, and Linux. There are people out there who already own Mac hardware who would like to use Blue Iris and some simply don't wish to...

None of the cheap $100 PCs I have ever bought go the distance; machines I build myself do, but also cost more as I don't skimp on parts. I have had luck with Qotom boxes and still use them for routers as I find my old go to boxes (PCEngines) are under-powered for any real usage such as VPN at...

Mac Mini was a freebie so save $100 dollars; and at least it will last past a few years unlike the stack of PCs I have many of which have hardware defects. Although I still run my actual surveillance on an i5 mini PC; was just testing it with Mac and know many users on the forum are Mac users...

Hopefully this proves helpful to folks, but I thought to post a quick guide how to get Blue Iris working on a Mac without using a virtual machine or Boot Camp. The below guide intends to install Blue Iris version 5; not sure it will work with version 4. It actually works pretty well with...

You have the entry-level ones which sell for like $25-$50; I would avoid these like the plague especially if you're looking to do VPN. The higher-end consumer routers like Netgear Nighthawk or ASUS equipped with dual-core ARM chips are better; their hardware is still limited, but they're easier...

They're definitely a great deal especially their UniFi AP Lite. The only downside to their routers are the GUI as they still depend heavily on CLI. I don't mind that, but it isn't for everyone.

It is the 1900. Here's the link: Linksys WRT1900ACS - UntangleWiki

ASUS definitely makes some of the better consumer routers and they'll often take most of the custom firmwares (Merlin, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.), but have you considering moving to something more advanced like Untangle, pfSense, Sophos UTM, etc. I only mention it as consumer routers even those like...

There are lots of ways to setup a VPN server. If you have a NAS, it likely has a VPN Server app. Some consumer routers have VPN capability and some of those can use custom firmware like Tomato, DD-WRTc etc. A Raspberry Pi is another option and of course you can install OpenVPN directly on a...

Thanks. I tried all those and just can't seem to pull the MJPEG sub stream into any browser. Guess I'm just out of luck.

Anybody?
