    Uploading backups to secure offsite on closed network?

    Thanks for reply. My biggest concern is theft. Not always home, if someone breaks in it's all for naught if they take the hardware.

    Uploading backups to secure offsite on closed network?

    So wasn't sure where to post this. Running BI on closed home network & wondering how I go about uploading to cloud or offsite somewhere somehow? Several IP cameras with BI running 24/7 but I'd like some way to upload snapshot images of recent triggered activity. Previously I was using the...

    Getting more out of New, Stored, Alerts

    Not helpful/useful when "13. Clips and Archiving Part 1" is unavailable & won't play, which relates to New, Stored, Alerts & help for my question. So yes, I've gone through these.

    Getting more out of New, Stored, Alerts

    Thanks for the reply. 1. Don't fully understand this. What do you mean always empty? I do have that option checked. Do I need to use alerts still then or will alerts be saved automatically because I have that option checked? 2. Don't understand this. What is stored for then anyway. 3. From...

    Getting more out of New, Stored, Alerts

    So I'm trying to better understand New, Stored & Alerts & ideal settings to get most out of them. I've had BI now for several months & I'm not getting anymore than 3.5 weeks of stored video, I have 3TB+ excess storage space not being used, & I thought I'd get more. My set up: 5 cameras...

    Carrier-Grade NAT problem: How to access my IP cameras? VPN?

    Realise this is old however I've found myself in the same boat recently. I have ASUS RT-AC3200 & was able to remote in until recently when ISP rolled out CGNAT. I can call them & request IP but I'd rather see if there's a way around this first. You know, for fun & kicks. Is this the same...

    BlueIris on your TV!

    Thanks for clarifying. I do have new smart TV, lan & access to BI & am able to remote in via smartphone/PC, so figured should be able to on smart TV. On BI I have; -added User for lan only with blank password & no admin rights. -Web server -> Advanced -> Limit IP addresses: added TV IP here with...

    BlueIris on your TV!

    Is there a requirement to install AndriodSDK/BlueIrisAPK files to get this to work, or can this be done without it just using browser & anonymous login? Because so far it won't work.

    Few questions before ordering!

    Before I got my BI set up I was doing just that & remoting into the camera itself. So no reason why can't do just that.

    BlackVue DR900S-2CH

    From what I read, I thought DR900 handles heat better than DR750. Is this not the case? Isn't DR900 better than DR750? Looking at buying one of these. How long does it last when hard-wired, with no battery backup & is there a risk of car battery being drained?

    Outdoor camera placement...

    I've read cliff notes multiple times, just get feeling it's 'place cameras everywhere' lol :winktongue: anyways, this is my first outdoor one set up (but not the last). I'm thinking I'll have to adjust the view slightly to the right & focus the zoom in a little. The plastic film has been taken...

    Outdoor camera placement...

    Looks like this right place.... Green areas obstructs some of the view as there's trees there & also some in the front. And Westward is dead end street with small walkway. We're surrounded by houses along side the fence. I'm trying to figure out where should best position outdoor cameras for...

    HDD/SSD usage and size recommendations

    Great write up. Had to re-read this a few times though as I was mixing up your use of 8MP with 8Mpbs, & I don't understand how/where you got 8-16Mbps figure from. For a novice, where/how do you find, locate or calculate the Mbps? EDIT: nvr, it's in the camera settings lol ie :facepalm: Max...

    As a service? Windows 7, 8 or 10?

    My partner has Win10 on their PC & I hate it, so much so I learned how to install & use Linux:rofl:. And you're correct, most folks don't want to pay for an OS again so I'd have to fork out more money for another Win10 license. I still have & use WinXP on an old hard drive because of legacy...

    Hardware Weight for Blue Iris

    I'd be interested in this too, as it looks like I may get a PC (or maybe i5/i7 NUC) dedicated for this, but like yourself I don't wish to have a system that's either too under or over whelming.

    Australian GST starts on Jul.1st

    Because our wages are higher probably than many places, & so cost of living, cost of running & owning a business & all that goes with it, is also higher. And so businesses like to take us for a ride & wonder why we shop online/overseas. But we also like to live in comfort :winktongue:. I'm just...

    Australian GST starts on Jul.1st

    Yes our local chamber of commerce & business have been requesting the government for years to implement this crap, on the basis that they're losing a competitive edge to overseas/online stores. I've just had to order from overseas (your store) because there's not one single local Dahua supplier...

    Trying to find IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE on @EMPIRETECANDY store, can't locate it. Is it superseded by another model? I like IPC-HDW5231R-ZE but looking at fixed lens also with similar lux rating. Thanks.

    Dual Recording & compatibility ?

    Thanks. I meant to also ask; NVR PoE & Network switch PoE: Is it possible to have cameras spread across both & to have NVR record all of them? Lets say I have 10 cameras & I want them all powered by PoE only. I currently have a 16 port network switch but only first 8 ports provide power. So if...

    Dual Recording & compatibility ?

    If someone wanted to is it possible to have dual recording with; -2 NVR's. -NVR & Blue Iris. Say for sake of double back up or even another location ie offsite. Would there be anything special to factor in or deal with. Additionally how does one tell if compatibility of IP camera(s) with NVR...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks all. I am running merlin firmware & running latest 384.5, most recent breach was on previous v384.4_2. Just looking at possible avenues & while I am still learning I'm pretty sure last breach all these settings etc were as they needed to be disabled etc. I thought mac addresses could be...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I have ASUS router & twice in the last few months the router has been compromised, despite having (what I thought to be) strong settings & passwords, after setting VPN Server up following instructions here. Is there a way, once VPN Server (& client) is set up, to brute-force attempt to penetrate...

    Cat5 wiring and lightning protection

    So if you're using Cat6A S/FTP cable along with Cat6A shielded jacks, given that this would all be shielded anyway & reduce interference, why would you bother grounding this cable/jack setup if nearby/direct hit would cause damage regardless? I get it's for venting any interference that the line...

    Cat5 wiring and lightning protection

    So, regardless of CatX cable, whether shielded or not, not having it grounded vs having it grounded will make little difference then in instances of direct hit ? Why would you bother grounding CatX cable then ? If everything is turned off & unplugged during a lightning storm, & cable is not...
