    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    I have Tailscale at home and on my phone, so I may as well use it.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    The local address works while at the store, but the WAN address does not work from home. I need a method of viewing the camera via mobile device and computer when not at the store.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    Yeah... I can get it open via UI3... didn't think of that to start with. It seems to be better for everything mobile.

    Can't get New Server to work on Android app...

    I posted this earlier, but it was removed for some reason. I'll try again. I have BI set up on my Android S25 with my Home camera network... works well. Trying to add my store network. I entered my first/last five of the license for the store, LAN/WAN IP addresses, and username/password for BI...

    Setting up NAS for Blue Iris storage...

    Considering the loudness of the 22TB Purple Pro HDD that I tried out in my Dell Precision camera computer at home, I thought maybe I'd install the drive in an Asustor AS5402T NAS for our gun shop camera system to use as storage. Maybe run a 6TB SSD for the New video/clips on my desktop, and...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    It would probably be good to add more closer to the front door. Then go ahead and add a few more inside, and probably more in the back inside as well. For the outside, from about 10 pm to 6 am, I'll likely set up AI for persons coming close to the building during those hours, where it notifies...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    I like the idea of moving the cameras up behind the counter. I'm not crazy about the dual-lens cameras. They are not truly 180 degrees and have the distortion issue in the center (the building you see in the pic below is considerably wider than it looks). Here is the EmpireTech...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    We generally leave the lights on in the showroom 24/7. There are no windows as the entire building is wrapped in double metal. The front door is Lexan with a steel door behind it. We ran LED lights for 9 years in our other store and I think we replaced one ballast that burnt out. We will likely...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    So the following: Exterior: EmpireTech IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP 8mm–32mm Vari-Focal WDR IR AI Network Bullet Camera Front door zoomed low: EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP IR Starlight 2.7mm–12mm Vari-Focal Turret Security Camera (would be easier to conceal than bullet...

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    Ceilings in showroom are 10ft high. Good idea on the lower door. We actually had one just like that in our other store.

    New Store - Camera Recommendations

    I've pretty much narrowed it down to where I'd like to install the cameras. 8 cameras inside and 6 outside. I may add one to view the roof. Major 4-lane highway is out in front of the showroom floor, about 40ft away from the front door. Looking at the front door of the showroom floor, there is...

    UI3 Setting for H264 - Javascript vs HTML5 - Javascript much better?

    I just learned this myself last week. It wasn't choppiness, but it was constantly refreshing with the HTML 5 setting. It was recommended that I try JavaScript, and it resolved my issues. I'd be curious as to when it is appropriate to use one over the other if it is anything other than the issues...

    Detected HTML5 video player stall. Reopening video stream. (UI3)

    I don't just claim it... I got it! I worked with a guy that has done it all his life. Is it the best... absolutely not! But it is considerably better than what most folks have in their homes. :) It is wireless, and the max throughput I'm getting on this particular tablet is 72Mbit/s. I'm not...

    Detected HTML5 video player stall. Reopening video stream. (UI3)

    It's not choppy, just refreshing. The tablet is wireless, but we have very little wireless use otherwise (phones) and an extremely robust network with better-than-average access points. Looking at my Omada Controller... the only thing connected to that AP were our phones which we were not...
