    Blue Iris UI3

    Thank you @bp2008. I would assume I just need a cert file on my work pc then? Would I need to download any OpenVPN software to the pc? (Sorry, not super well versed with vpn connections).

    Depends on your VPN configuration and network configuration, but it should be possible to connect to two VPNs at once and access resources on both networks.

    Good router for security?

    Thanks again to everyone for the wealth of information, it is much appreciated! I'm going through that post, very helpful! So, essentially the OpenVPN allows an encrypted tunnel from other devices (say phone) to the router (i.e., home network)? By setting it up, I can essentially pretend to...

    Good router for security?

    So, is PFSense basically turning a small computer into a router? Or do you still have a router as well? Yes. PFSense is free software that will run on any computer with 2 or more network interfaces. Or do you still have a router as well? Not needed with PFSense. A typically provided for...

    Off site Blue Iris server question

    I've had something similar running for over 3 years, but I went the site-to-site VPN route. My main router opens an OpenVPN connection to remote site using DDNS. Would recommend you investigate moving to that configuration as it avoids many of the risks associated with opening ports/port...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    My current chime was a 12VAC chime and today sounds like a gong rather than a chime because of the voltage increase. That said with automation I do TTS Once you have configured it with the Hikvision Batch Configuration program you will be all set. Here added a second admin user. Utilize...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I don't see a setting for chime type anywhere in the settings... either with iVMS or with BI (ONVIF). The chime type setting is only in the app. I also configured the PIR settings in the app way long time ago. There is some stuff you can configure with the Onvif software that is similiar but...

    How to view camera feeds via BI app when not on my network

    I've managed to get the server to successfully connect on the PC. I've copied the client configuration files to a directory on the internal storage of my phone. Then installed the OpenVPN app and selected to import the client profile I copied across. However, when I press connect it tries for a...

    How to view camera feeds via BI app when not on my network

    Thanks - at least I'm not the only one. It's made worse by the fact that this is all so that I can view my camera feeds and footage on my phone when I'm not at home. That's my only requirement. I won't really be needing to view them from another machine. I've now managed to get further using...

    Hikvision takes up to 48 hours to come online after power reset

    This is worth reading. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ Searching for Openvpn provides an overwhelming number of matches, and even 'openvpn installation' yields a large number, by no means all are relevant...

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    Thanks for the suggestion, I deleted it from the app and reinstalled using P2P and it worked. I missed that detail when setting it up. I could start another thread with this but if my setup is fairly risky, is it difficult to add an OpenVPN router to my current setup which is the AT&T fiber...

    Camect NVR evaluation

    I wanted to take a minute to shout out about the new Camect NVR product I am using. I realize it is not fully production, is an Indiegogo startup and is a crowdfunded project, however it is hands down the best product I have used to eliminate as they call it "uninteresting" and "suppressed"...

    Hi Bruce! Why don't you want to go back to "stock" Asus? On all my ASUS I don't run stock neither, yet I apply the RMerlin fork (which includes the Asus yet but tons of add-ons and security fixes which Asus lacks). Did you already deploy OpenVPN server services on the dd-wrt? That's a first...

    Asus AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router

    Wifi is wifi. Apple devices should be able to work on any router with wifi. Maybe there is an ASUS app for configuration of the router that is not available for Apple devices. Setup the router with a PC.

    Problem with vpn while on separate WiFi

    Definite a good point. I’ve run two separate VPNs over the years (OpenVPN and Global Protect) and both had to have configuration of what a client can access in place. I have it setup so that when I use the VPN I can access local networks and the Internet as well. Hurricane Electric makes a...

    Help with current network setup

    I don't have any IoT devices, but I do plan on setting up a Google Chromecast. Right now I have only PCs, phones, and the DVR connected to the network.
