    Early Morning Pit Stop

    I wonder why he aimed up hill… I feel like you wouldn’t want it running back to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do you guys keep track of your IP cams, passwords etc?

    Same for me. Bitwarden has been great and I can export a backup of it. My camera excel sheet tracks IP addresses, serial numbers, Mac addresses, SD card sizes, install dates, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    to NAS or not to NAS?

    Same here. Plus my BI PC can run independent of any other machines so I always have video recording. I have dedicated UPS units for BI and the POE switches. So even in power outages my security systems are fully functional. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Am I about to download the "correct" app?

    Yes that is the blue Iris mobile app. $10 is a steal of a deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unifi Network configuration question

    You are basically running what I am. I relocated my BI PC so it is away from the POE switch. My setup is BI > main switch > POE switch. I also have Some off shoots to the shed and garage. So those are BI > main switch > second switch > small POE switch. I haven’t noticed any issues or...

    Weird PTZ mounting location help

    You can use the ceiling mount without the pole so the camera is right at the top. That is ultimately how I mounted both of mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    I have another camera near this one that does have audio. In blue Iris you can select another camera as the audio source. That’s what I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Amazon is too big and should be broken up!

    I thought they could read our minds with the vaccine chip?!?! Why don’t they just sell that info to another company to use for marketing. Ain’t going to happen to me under this foil hat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shed Interior Temp to Blue Iris Overlay!

    I fixed some of the broken screenshots here. This worked flawless all winter to keep an eye on things. Home Assistant notified me if the temp dropped too low, so I knew to change the propane. I quickly learned my cheap $12 regulator was not cutting it as the pilot would just go out randomly. I...

    Getting Home Assistant states from my Ambient weather station over to MQTT and into Blue Iris macros. Possible?

    Sorry, I nearly forgot about you this morning! I updated that shed temp thread with new screenshots! My BI tools continues to work and it appears I no longer have an API specified, just my Station ID. @bp2008 could explain how it works under the hood. I'm just pleased its been so reliable!!

    How many cameras everyone running?

    My favorite was when some new people moved in down the road. They asked my neighbor if “that security guy is approachable or friendly”. People say I’m nuts for them all but then later ask about a system for their home! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many cameras everyone running?

    I’m up to 23 with another one in the box needing to go up. Two are LPR, two auto tracking PTZ, and I just came up with a few other spots I want coverage. It’s addicting for sure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting Home Assistant states from my Ambient weather station over to MQTT and into Blue Iris macros. Possible?

    I am mistaken. I use blue Iris tools for the PTZ overlay. The shed overlay is through HA and MQTT. I’ll grab those and share in the morning! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Easy to do! I have weather station data going to my PTZ cameras through this very method! I’ll check and redo the screenshots for you tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who has converted their vehicles from non-(insert item) to powered? I gots a 2001 Dodge 1500 basic cab (ST?) with no bells & whistles.

    Before our most recent cars with it from the factory, I’ve installed remote start in three of our previous vehicles. Fairly straightforward but none had a factory plug I could tie into so had to identify and splice wires where appropriate in the steering column. Dash cam is also a necessity in...

    BlueIris iPhone app not connecting via VPN

    Odd for sure!! I’m on iOS and use OpenVPN as well. Only time I’ve ever had an issue is when the WAN address would change to my true WAN instead of the LAN. Other than that it’s rock solid! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Catalytic Converter Theft

    I am up to 24 cameras and I still want more coverage!! That’s just for a rectangle single story rambler house and a small shed. I have two LPR cameras, one for each direction. Now I’m considering some dedicated street cameras. If something happens in my yard there is a good chance I’ll have a...

    The squirrel must die

    I would have a blast taking the pellet rifle to them! However, the old guy behind me has a squirrel feeder so he would not be appreciative of me killing his friends.

    The squirrel must die

    Came across a pretty serious squirrel trap on the YouTube. Little bastards destroyed several strands of Christmas lights this spring. Gotta convince myself the $200 price tag is worth it :oops:

    Anyone using VLANs?

    I use pfsense with smart/managed switches, and Unifi AC Lite access points. I'm up to 9 different VLANS! It makes it so easy to isolate traffic and implement access rules! For instance, my CCTV network is blocked from having any internet access or access to other VLANS. My HOME network where...
