    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Your proposed setup is basically exactly like I have my network working past 8 years accessing Camera GUI (at least in my setup) you have todo from the BI PC because the cameras are no longer connected to your primary network. I just pop open RDP (any remote desktop would work) on the "BI...

    Why We Can't Have Small Trucks Anymore - Blame the EPA :

    I personally have a Hyundai Santa Cruz AWD with the 2.5L Turbo, and although I dont have a hitch installed yet, it does have a "light-duty" towing capacity around 4500 lbs. Both the wife and I are thrilled with it and find it to be the best vehicle (best general utility) we've ever owned. I've...

    Micro Computer for remote access only

    Possibly see if you have the option to enable Bridge Mode for your existing Starlink router, if that can be turned on you need a firewall/router behind it and ASUS would be a good choice. Stable, patchable, and I've had mine running site-to-site VPN for literally years. If bridge-mode isn't an...

    Dahua Dash Camera

    Waiting/hoping these are better than some of the current stuff on the market. Would be interesting to know which image sensor and which SOC's these models use, as it seems (presently) a LOT of the cameras on Amazon are basically using the same parts. LTT had a recent video about dashcams: Do...

    I guess he figured I don't Need any help with the Cameras

    Same thing happened here, neither my "No Soliciting" sign, nor the Dahua IPC-PFW8802-A180 (massive panoramic) hanging off the garage stopped him from trying to pitch me to "sign up just to hear a little about their products". I just kept telling him different things to make my point: "As you...

    When an overview camera is just not enough (if they had been IPCAMTALK member I guess they would have probably had LPR)

    Moment of RPG shooting on Ministry of State Security in Tiraspol, Transnistria However, if EVER there was an argument for high MP camera to catch something going down in broad daylight, this might be it.

    Some good PTZ footage today from Ukraine

    Yeah a lot of the footage is poor quality TikTok/Phone or even worse security system footage like we are accustomed to seeing here already. But this one was really surprising to me, who knows maybe an @EMPIRETECANDY customer hehe.

    Some good PTZ footage today from Ukraine

    Pretty decent zoom on this guy. Nothing this exciting ever happens on my cameras.

    Starlink satellite internet

    As someone that works remotely, its really nice to have 60/30 OVER VPN when connected to work. We are 100% streaming (nothing over the air), so it's nice to know different TV's in the house can have 4-5 streams from different services going "no problem". Running a persistent site-to-site VPN...

    Starlink satellite internet

    It could also be something special they negotiated. I know in our small town we negotiated with a fiber provider to get a discounted rate, basically by just being honest about the church being empty (except for the pastor) 5+ days a week, and on Sunday's there might be slightly more usage due...

    Not eligible for Winn 11 Upgrade?!

    Also you might be able to get Windows 11 supported either by using the published workaround or if your motherboard offers TPM2.0 support (which you probably would have to enable). There was quite a bit of tech pushback around the Windows 11 "requirements" as being some type of forced hardware...

    So's....gots my 3D printer all setup and printing. But...need camera!

    Have an old smartphone laying around? With an app one of those can provide direct IP video over WiFi. Overkill but just an idea. Also will you be printing tough materials like ABS that require heated enclosure temperatures? If so might want to consider the recommended temperature range of...

    'Overview' camera recommendation needed - wide angle + Color night vision

    For what it's worth even though it's not precisely what you asked about, I am pretty happy with my: DH-IPC-PFW8802-A180. Not certain if there is a current equivalent. It's 4x2MP instead of 4K (or 4MP), and it has tripwire. IDK if that translates into better ppf at the distance you'd be...

    Blue Iris PC Build

    I should have been more clear, I put a standoff in the steel raised standoff that was causing the problem and "tapped it down" with a hammer so there was no more interference. I can't remember if I removed the standoff in the end, I believe I left it because the standoff did NOT interfere with...

    Blue Iris PC Build

    OMG when I recently built my wife's new computer I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM with her V21 case and her Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P. I ended up putting a standoff in that raised board mount (it's just punched and raised up) and tapping it down out of the way but I would have been so upset if it...

    Banding from LED motion light

    The banding is a result of the cheap way power supplies are implemented in most LED lights, the cheaper they are the worse they are. You will have to set the shutter slower than the frequency of your power (60Hz in NA, 50Hz some other places). Another alternative you can just get a...

    Camera for end of 1000' driveway ? WiFi? Ethernet? Other?

    You could also drop in direct burial fiber cable (something with 4+ fibers pre-terminated), combined with a POE switch at the far end and a media converter (fiber to ethernet), but covering that distance the cost is definitely going to be higher than a couple RF links, probably about $1000 ...

    Strange icon on Dahua IP camera server page

    To the OP the problem is you are experiencing voltage drop on your 12V PASSIVE POE injector setup. Sure you have 12V@2A, but 100 feet from where you need it and with some of the thinnest conductors (CAT5) used in wiring. I'm sure you are dropping volts, and the higher the current requirement...

    My experience with a Ryzen 5600g APU

    To be honest I’m happy to hear it wasn’t a disaster out choice, but I think as the number of cameras grow (and you don’t have the benefit of hardware acceleration), you may hit limits of that CPU eventually. It would be nice to have the system wattage draw for a reference point, and have this...

    Morning or Evening

    I think this might be an unmanaged switch, at least the installation guide says that on the first page. "Unmanaged Desktop PoE+ Switch " OP mentions he has a "TL-SG1210P", but maybe double check you don't have the TL-SG1210MP which in the install manual talks about having a feature called...

    Which new Intel NUC?

    For what its worth this version of the G3 is basically the same dimensions as the ML07, but should cost you about 20%-40% as compared to building something.

    Which new Intel NUC?

    Just some feedback on building the solution instead of buying something cheap off-lease that might not fit, building something will probably increase the cost by 5x. I have that exact case on my Intel pfsense Router build -- its nothing fancy but fine & small, manual sucks. I see you noticed...

    Which new Intel NUC?

    Can the existing NAS be hard wired to Blue Iris? I know some have USB-C etc ports, I wouldn't recommend constant write cycles to an SSD, I think the surveillance version SSD's probably would last long enough but only because of the over provisioning they have a lot of excess space waiting to...

    Concerned about a new AMD ryzen pc I just bought today! Will BI work??

    OEM lock-in can be a problem with OEM systems like Dell, motherboards and power supplies can definitely be custom and not off-the-shelf replaceable. I think the general consensus is once an old BI OEM system dies, you can just buy another used OEM system that's a few generations newer. Since...

    New Fiber Run

    I guess since I don't do this for a living I will defer to someone with practical experience running copper wire underground. I just feel like fewer metal conductors would reduce the risks of lightning getting carried to both structures. I guess some direct burial fiber cables would have both...

    Refurb tower with space for a 4-bay drive cage?

    I know this is not precisely what you asked for, but I build computer towers on a regular basis, and recently built one using: Thermaltake Core V21 SPCC Micro ATX case, and I was SHOCKED how wide-open that case is and it has room for 3 HDD and at least 2 more SSD drives. I know you probably...

    New Fiber Run

    I feel like if these are rentals the individual cabin privacy will probably be appreciated and heavy trimming to accommodate wireless link is probably not as good an option as fiber cable run. Agree with @sebastiantombs and your original assessment about LoS viability.
