What @wittaj said is pretty much it. From the 3rd story I would probably go with the 3.6mm version of the camera, to get a little closer, but it depends on what you want to do. The reviews on Amazon say "Great night vision!" It is, compared to your eyes, but it absolutely sucks compared to other...

It depends on the system, software, and OS. When I started with USB cameras and prior to using BI, I was on a Win98 machine. It would lock up every few days, and this was a remote location, so we installed a hard timer on the system to shut it down and restart it. I now have a Windows 8.1 system...

Depends on your equipment. The piece you linked to says 300 Mbps, figure it really can handle 80% of that or 240 Mbps, max. As @wittaj said, use 10 Mbps per camera. But, I wouldn't bet the pieces you linked to will actually do that. But, the should easily handle 2-3, probably 10. Heck, I have a...

I just installed the Android client, easier than port forwarding. Export from pfSense, use that for the client. Now I can get to ANY thing inside my network, including pfSense, wherever I am. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

How are you trying to connect using OpenVPN? OpenVPN basically dumps your connection into your LAN side of your router. So if on your phone, it is like it is on the LAN, even when not. For things on the LAN, OpenVPN has nothing to do with it. The BI LAN connection is the same as to connect from...

I just got an SG-1100 running last week and OpenVPN on Android. Works fine. Did you use the export add on for pfSense? Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Jon Cooper - worked for Obama, Biden. Not surprising the politicians that "support" blue collar workers wouldn't support truckers protesting big government and limiting freedoms.

Conduit is run for several reasons. First to provide physical protection. From mowers, weed eaters, rats, etc. Second is to allow you to pull in a new wire when that one fails. If you don't need it to be protected, and the install is not that difficult, I would just run the cable. I have...

Single run of CAT5 will be fine. However, as others have said, run at least two, if not three cables, and make SURE they are waterproof if underground. Conduits ALWAYS get filled with water. I don't know if they leak, condensation, or the water fairy, but they always get filled up. My cameras...

You need to provide more information, in an organized fashion. 1. You say you have a DSL. I assume a modem and then the RT-AC88U. 2. I assume the AC88U is the ONLY router, and the previous one is disabled/removed. 3. What are the "WAN IPs"? Actual numbers. if you are paranoid, just put in x...

Set the computer to start up on power restore. Most can be set to do that in the BIOS. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

When drugs are involved, not much makes sense. I have a drug/flop house down the road from me, and it is amazing what the people coming and going from there do, when they are not obviously stoned. They seem to forget stuff and go right back in, then right back out, can't walk on the 8'...

I don't think you should have any except for free MS programs like Edge, XBox Game Bar, Your Phone, etc. Not sure, but I don't have any of what you mention. Because I had NO data on my HDD, I told it not to keep anything, and wipe it clean. I forget the details. I had moved everything to keep to...

This. Last year I bought an eBay special Win 10 Pro with a HDD. The HDD made it slow as molasses compared to an SSD. I used the media creation tool twice, once onto the HDD, then once onto the SSD, both times worked fine, Win 10 Pro was installed and booted fine.

TeamViewer allows you to get to the desktop of the connected computer. So you are running applications on the desktop. ZT allows you to connect to the computer, as if you were in the next room, allowing you to use a browser and the UI3 interface, or the BI phone app. Generally the ZT method is...
