Dog Boarding/Doggy Daycare Facility

We have a 20 camera system for our use and I am thinking about adding room cameras in our luxury rooms, about 10 cameras to expand more later.

Does anyone know of a good way to manage guest access to room cameras? Providing an app would be ideal.

You can use blue iris and set up a guest account. There is an app as well but it's $10. There is a free web server so people can use their web browser to view the cameras as well

I am doing roughly the same thing for a Cattery and have looked at and tested many options, the BIGGEST issue is with users, how do you intend to provide the access? Does it require usernames and password? Does it need an app, what system does that app tun on, have you enough 'staff' that can understand and resolve the user questions?

At the moment we are waiting for NBN to be able to get decent upload speeds, then we are currently looking at putting each individual room to associated youtube accounts so that a simple link to youtube is all that is needed, no usernames, no passwords, no client specific issues, as in which web browser supports what. The youtube link will be available off the Cattery website and updated when enabled.

Probably OBS or the inbuilt Blue Iris stuff using rtsp to get the video up to youtube. Further testing to be done when the speed is available.

I have had to explain at lengths about how 'difficult' it can be providing support to people who do not have technical knowledge, so a system that is capable of running on multiple platforms with no knowledge needed is the best way to go, it also has to be manageable for the day to day staff as well.

I am not interested in providing any localised access to the cameras, mainly from a security point of view, so the option to stream is the way we are currently going.

I may be wrong, but as always happy to learn...

The support is a biggie. To me, you're opening a huge can of worms.
To you and me what is simple, is completely over the heads of a lot of folks.

I have two neighbors, that had to have an Iphone. They've had various version's now for over 8 years.
They still to this day, can not do anything except, make and accept calls or text.

I get questions from them on a regular basis about this and that with the phones. Grrrr.
