    Outdoor Solar-Powered Cams

    Wow, I didn't know that. I have 8 consumer-type cams (5 Arlo's, 2 Dropcams and an Amcrest) that I'm powering either by batteries (the Arlo cams) or AC/electricity and connecting by Wifi. I never realized other cameras could be powered by an ethernet cable only (and ostensibly also wouldn't...

    Outdoor Solar-Powered Cams

    I appreciate making me aware of those thinking-out-of-the options box Mat(t). As has been said twice here, it appears I'd just be better off with old school wiring; but it's nice to bounce it off you folks with obviously more knowledge than mine. It's nice to be able to funnel my game plan to...

    Outdoor Solar-Powered Cams

    LOL - I guess. I mean they can put a man on the moon, but STILL can't come up with a viable solar operated... Oh well, First World problem of course.

    Outdoor Solar-Powered Cams

    Nevermind (I'm the OP) -- I've done more research and it appears there's really no such thing that will work with Blue Iris adequately. Thanks anyway folks! :-)

    Outdoor Solar-Powered Cams

    Would anybody know of any decent moderately-priced outdoor cameras (or line/brand of cameras) that are solar powered which I could fold into my Blue Iris software? I ask because I want to replace my current outdoor Arlo cameras that are battery-operated (and can't be used with BI), and I don't...

    Work Hours Recording - How to Invoke?

    Wow. I've read all the posts, the applicable parts of the manual, and viewed all the videos I can, so I assure you, I've put in quite a bit of effort and it has nothing to do with being lazy I assure you. Sometimes things that might be intuitive for one person might not be for another. People...

    Work Hours Recording - How to Invoke?

    I don't see the word "enable" or "disable" in the record tab. The videos seem to go off on a bit of a tangent about everything one CAN do. I think mine with a single camera only to record during working hours would be the simplest of setups. Are you sure we just can't talk on the phone for a...

    Work Hours Recording - How to Invoke?

    I can appreciate that - which makes my asking for your or anybody's phone help a bit more viable. Barring that I've evidently not found the specific video you refer to above that you mention is "very detailed." Would you be able to post a link to it? Perhaps that will make things clear for...

    Work Hours Recording - How to Invoke?

    Thank you very much. In my defense I can report that I have looked at the online videos and read the pdf manual/help document and still can't seem to figure this out (and Blue Iris does not have a help desk tel#). While I DO appreciate your help, I realize with such a sporadic forum thread such...

    Work Hours Recording - How to Invoke?

    Thanks. I see there's a "Profiles" tab under "Blue Iris Options." In that tab I see a chart that shows, "Inactive, Active, Work Hours, Profile 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. However, I don't see anywhere how I may click on anything there to modify or do as you mention. Am I in the right place?

    Work Hours Recording - How to Invoke?

    I'm brand new to Blue Iris and am using it with am Amcrest 841B camera. The camera and software all seem to work fine; I have a picture and the combo records. However, I THOUGHT I made a schedule so that it records only during my M-F 9-5 working hours there in my living room. But I just...
