    Asus TM-AC1900 Router and OpenVPN set up for Blue Iris, please help?

    I spent many hours of headaches when I configured OpenVPN trying to email myself the certificate, only to figure out that my email provider was somehow messing up or blanking the attached file. I finally had to copy the certificate file onto a flash drive, then hook that drive up to my phone...

    BI sending 100s of "Get Parameters" to Hikvision cam, is this normal?

    BI sending 100s of "Get Parameters" to Hikvision cam, is this normal? Sometimes it sends 4-5 within 1 second. I was randomly checking the log of my Hik DS-2CD2442FWD-IW, and within minutes of a reboot (of cam) I saw 60-100 pings from my BI machine for what the Hik labels "Get Parameters". The...

    2nd Amendment thread

    Actually, they (ahem, Biden-Harris admin) apparently made up a new term "Executive Actions", they are not Executive Orders ... kinda like "the office of the president-elect"...

    IPC-T5442TM-AS - what focal lenght is recommended, 2.8mm or 3.6mm?

    Ah, Germany, your privacy rules probably prevent the nice close up aerial views we have in the US, I can clearly see my car in driveway when I zoomed in...

    Blue Iris remote access wish-list

    I'm still in the investigational phase, and this only just popped up on my radar, even though it's been around for a while--what about zerotier service?

    IPC-T5442TM-AS - what focal lenght is recommended, 2.8mm or 3.6mm?

    I'm just starting out, relatively speaking, although I've spent hours (days?) scouring this forum for info. Try using IPVM Camera Calculator V3 and check the blind spot box, there's quite a bit of unseeable area below a cam, even aimed down to the max. The website is really useful to see the...

    Outstanding service from Andy still deserves accolades, even though everyone knows...

    Ordered 6 cams from Andy, shipped March 4, arrived today! USPS takes a week or more for a priority package from OH to NC... so China->US->my door in 4 days is outstanding. Now to table test... :)

    Using rpisurv/raspipc with dual NIC BI setup, am I missing something?

    Thanks for the idea. So there's still a load on the BI server? Somehow I got the impression from the original thread that you can "just use the direct url of the camera for RTSP feed", but this does assume you have the Pi hard linked to the separate camera LAN (on a dual NIC BI or VLAN). Also...

    Using rpisurv/raspipc with dual NIC BI setup, am I missing something?

    Using rpisurv/raspipc with dual NIC BI setup, am I missing something? Maybe I missed a detail somewhere in all the threads, but if the cameras are on a LAN that only BI can see, how exactly to you stream RTSP directly from the cams to the RPi as I've seen suggested in various posts? Short of...

    Zion National Park

    I had enough of Bryce in one day YMMV, unless you'd want to catch a sunset/sunrise, or be more leisurely than just a day trip. As suggested, I found it easy to hit all the hiking spots/trails I wanted at Zion within a 5 day or so vacation, so take your time (I was doing up to 3 hikes/trails a...

    Zion National Park

    I loved Zion... only suggestion, pace yourself, take it easy hiking on first day or two, get acclimated. A day trip to Bryce is doable, nice drive, and a different look than Zion.

    Fast deployment, portable indoor video surveillance?

    Hope that title was close enough... New member here, long time lurker. Lots of great information... I'm interested in options/recommendations/discussion for a simple video surveillance system with the following feature set. Intent is to set it up for a person to get *easy* access to either...
