    2 routers ?

    Most likely you'll want to put that modem into bridge mode. If you need help with that then maybe you can provide the model?

    Wire pull advice, please... (pics)

    I would drill through the rafter and feed the network cable into the enclosed area there the camera is mounted. Use coat hanger or glow rod to fish it out.

    Using a UPS with Surveillance System, is it recommended?

    This is exactly what I did. I work in IT so I grabbed them before the trash bin and I just had to add batteries. Have a 2k and a 4k APC Smart-UPS running most of my AV, security, and networking gear.

    Using a UPS with Surveillance System, is it recommended?

    I would use a UPS for my whole house if I could. Definitely would recommend for your surveillance system. I would also make sure that includes your network gear and router etc.

    WiFi monitor screen

    I have an old iPad that use to run the blue iris app. I leave it running almost all the time and it seems to work fine. As long as your wifi can handle it i think a tablet is your best bet.

    In blue iris you need to go to options and then users tab. Create a user there

    blue iris ipone app

    I believe the license number will just lookup your IP info for you. The app will still work.

    LAN IP address question

    Yep that would be from oracle virtualbox. It shouldn't be a problem unless it somehow has a duplicate ip or something like that.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I received two and neither were reachable via the config tool. Did you try setting your IP to something like 192.168.1.5 and then going to browser and enter 192.168.1.108?

    You cannot select PAL because there are none in stock. Once he has them available you can order.

    Edge Router by Ubiquiti

    So far I am very happy with the EdgeRouter and the AP Pro as well. You can see which band the clients are using in the UniFi controller.

    Yep....not all PTZ need 802.3at but this DVR says it supports it. 8 ports (IEEE802.3af/at) for PoE model

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    That seems like a great idea. I have used these to mount some ceiling fans and it was very easy. Should be easy to use in the soffit too

    Is this switch suitable for x6 poe cameras and 2 ubiquiti AP's?

    Yea that should work fine.

    Is this switch suitable for x6 poe cameras and 2 ubiquiti AP's?

    Correct. The 4th port will be used to connect to the other switch or router etc

    Is this switch suitable for x6 poe cameras and 2 ubiquiti AP's?

    You most likely wont have a problem with two switches but if you have to plug one switch into the other you will be limited by the bandwidth of that port. If you are just connecting three cameras to one switch that should be fine. If they were high bandwidth devices then you can run into problems.

    Is this switch suitable for x6 poe cameras and 2 ubiquiti AP's?

    Yes but the adapter is included so you dont necessarily have to power it from the switch.

    A little help with Blueiris

    Not sure if you are using the Mac or Windows app or phone app but this video explains how to port forward pretty good. Obviously you'll want to put in the ip address of the blue iris server.

    Windows 10. Can updates be reliably disabled?

    Did you pay for Windows 10 or are you using the free upgrade version? I dont think you can "disable" updates if you are on the free upgrade version. There are ways to hack around it but M$ wont let you do it.
