    JPEG SNAPSHOTS

    Currently you have it set to take a snapshot every 10 minutes DURING a trigger. So if the trigger is less than 10 minutes, it will not take a snapshot. if you uncheck 'only when triggered' it will take a snapshot every 10 minutes, forever, regardless of trigger state.

    If windows is reinstalled then can we reuse the Blueiris keys

    First, dont run BI on a PC that you do other stuff on - that's the worst idea. The second worst idea is letting your kids run wild on a PC installing games with malware and ads and all kinds of other garbage - ON A PC WITH YOUR CAMERA IMAGES!

    Dahua VTO2111D-WP Information and Hacking

    I am using a Netgear JGS516PE switch which uses standard PoE spec for power - nothing is specific Dahua or to Dahua and this villa station is the only Dahua item I own on my network.

    It will work to activate a wired bell or a wireless zwave sensor/zwave chime through a home automation hub but you need to 'hack' the unit using these instructions (it doesnt have a chime/bell feature or connection by default): Hacking Dahua Video Intercom VTO2111D-WP to add a ding dong bell

    Dahua VTO2111D-WP Information and Hacking

    It does make that voice 'calling now' and/or 'call was not answered' if you dont pick up - but they can be disabled in the options. Mine is hardware disabled right now due to the zwave sensor I have added - the resistor I added doesnt allow the voice to be triggered which I like better.

    Dahua VTO2111D-WP Information and Hacking

    Yes the DB10 has no POE and no wired connection - IMO not a good choice for cameras.

    POE cam with 2-way audio - BI

    Finding one that is through BI is the challenge. POE is also a challenge as many that fit the bill are wifi + 12v power only. There is a thread in the IP cameras forum like 5 pages long about this topic.

    After trigger, do not trigger for X amount of time?

    So divide the viewport into two 50% zones for the trigger and voila? Seems to easy.

    After trigger, do not trigger for X amount of time?

    As camera systems are becoming more integrated with HA suites and other sensors, this is very useful. My current use case: When my doorbell camera is triggered, it changes the state of a virtual switch which turns my front door overhead lights on after-hours. After 3 minutes, the lights are...

    Dahua VTO2111D-WP Information and Hacking

    Problem fixed, I had to have the device and the iDMSS phone on the same VLAN/subnet. But the auto discover still did not work, I had to manually enter the IP. Also the Dahua web service/server requires activeX and setup is a nightmare on a mac

    Cujo Smart Firewall

    While these will benefit many users, I think that pfsense has evolved so much recently and anyone with the knowledge to mess with router settings (again, not everyone) should look into setting up a pfsense box.

    Blue Iris compatible doorbell/intercom/2 way audio

    So there is no 'doorbell button' on this cube camera, correct? So really it's not much of a video doorbell, but something that would need to notify you through motion detection that someone is there - and you would open a 2-way audio link hoping they are still at the door?

    Reolink - good & bad

    I love my reolink cameras. Low light is not GREAT, but it's acceptable for 90% of users besides very nit-picky 'power users' who toy with their own systems. I have owned 6 Reolink cameras for about 16 months now and NONE have given me any sort of trouble - and actually the police were amazed...
