    nayr's home automation build out...

    I just gotta say I laughed when I read that you did a similar thing with your Asterisk box and smart home lights. (Crappy photo as I took it from a video I made) but basically I have these VVX500's around the house and you can program the home/idle screen to sit at any webpage (HTML5...

    10 seconds to steal a car

    My past few and current cars have GPS + SIM card inside the console for app and web integration/concierge services and whatnot. Basically there's an option to pull up the location of your car from your phone using an app. Can also check gas, oil, etc status from the phone. I never renew the...

    10 seconds to steal a car

    Time = 3 Minutes to set up off-site recording. Three minutes. Effort = Three minutes Space = 70-80MB/hr for 24/7. It's recording on a 16TB array. End Result = My entry cams I can absolutely identify faces with that resolution based on where they are positioned. This parking lot is a wash and...

    10 seconds to steal a car

    Have a condo in Chicago -- neighbor's car was broken into and the other stolen. Both were by using some electric hacking tool that only took like two seconds to get into each car and about 10 seconds to start one of them. The video recording I have here is the sub-stream (extremely low res...

    4G LTE setup

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    Some serious tunnel vision here. I suspect it's likely because you guys have been thwarting off guys like me for the better part of two months now. I'm a broken record and that's all there is to it. Sorry, delicate Ken and pals. --The Moocher

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    I do. If I install something on a non-managed client (a printer, for example) I would be an ass to suggest otherwise. This is a simple piece of software. You mentioned earlier a simple DVR/NVR from China that has no updates. Why does BI need to be an exception? Just because ken keeps feeling...

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    My first post expressed interest in not wanting to sit here and go all "you didn't finish your dinner? There are starving kids in Africa!" I shouldn't have to. Yeah -- the prices aren't out of line. Me personally I have 4 estates -- each with their own BI instance running so I suppose that's...

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    So everyone who doesn't want updates is a moocher. Buying something and expecting nothing more beyond that is asking for a handout. Got it. Our bad. Sorry Ken.

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    I wouldn't expect them to. I'd expect my A/C to just keep on running until it breaks on its own. Imagine that. Not requiring support for life. Requiring the original product to keep on working the way it did without interference from other products being developed. Hard to imagine, I'm sure...

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    I'll use a new analogy since you're not getting it. Did the A/C in your car stop working because a new 2016 model hit the lot?

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    Did the XP Calculator or Command Prompt stop working because Vista came out? Has nothing to do with updates. Should I get a tattoo of that on my forehead?

    You're missing the mark every time on this. That's okay. I'm done.

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    Frugality was not the issue as I mentioned. My clients are not unreasonable. They are skeptical over any pop-up maintenance as any business owner should be. Should never blame them for this concern and frustration. Microsoft Office 2007 [for example] was never guaranteed lifetime support but...

    Blue Iris Annual Fee?

    I'm just embarrassed from an IT perspective -- I Installed BI for a number of clients needing smaller setups (10-20 cams) and once their phones either auto-updated apps or they did it on their own [Assume people will ALWAYS update their apps], they lost functionality because the server was still...
