    Blue Iris OS Options

    blue Iris OS

    you´re not wrong but this is perfectly legal in the eu even if there are pitfalls. When buying second-hand from "clean" sources, you get an auditable package including any “physical” certificates and all the details of the previous buyer and their declaration of deletion. This is also the...

    Ubiquiti Networks Cloud Gateway Ultra

    it´s a bit tricky, but you can decline the usage of an ui.com account in the initial wizard. but it is also possible to disable the remote features later on in the console. in principle, however, the ui.com account is certainly also a practical feature for remote properties for many people.
