    Is mobile app purchase necessary for each device accessing Blue Iris PC

    Thanks. UI3 sounds promising, in the meantime.

    Installing a two lens camera at front door

    Generally I prefer to retain original setup of hardware, however, in this instance ... What would happen if I snipped off the pigtail, fed the cable through a small hole, and punched the cable into a keystone type port you would put in a wall plate in premise wiring?

    Is mobile app purchase necessary for each device accessing Blue Iris PC

    Thanks - I had a feeling I had missed something related to remote access. Didn't know about UI3, will investigate. I followed the zerotier youtube video from another thread, and (mis)undersood that you have to have the mobile app. Neither of the above points is important to me, at least so far...

    Is mobile app purchase necessary for each device accessing Blue Iris PC

    Is it the case that for each mobile device accessing the Blue Iris PC over the web, the mobile app has to be purchased? Assume the access is using zerotier or similar VPN.

    Installing a two lens camera at front door

    What is a good way to install a two-lens front door camera (boobie-cam)? It needs to be installed on a wall that is masonry, behind which is solid lumber framing, so no wall cavity. Between the bulk of the camera, and a box behind it to accommodate the pigtail, that’s quite a bit sticking out...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    Nice job. Got to get power there if putting in a switch. Nothing beats having known a lot more up-front, running many more ethernet runs to many locations and to many heights, when there was the opportunity. Next time ...

    Could filling the female jacks with dielectric grease get in the way of establishing desired conductivity between the connected conductors/contacts?

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    @ron351 Snipping/breaking off the ears would sure make for a neater install. At the time not knowing that there are camera boxes, I installed a metal exterior junction box at my first location. So I was looking for a way to use the same holes with anchors for a box better suited for camera...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    I like that. Happen to have one of those laying around except it has four ears. I prefer the two ears in the image you attached. Those may even match the holes for the round box I had put in, after tapping in plastic anchors into the soffit. Thanks. Just checked - Holes on the round two-ear...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    Could try a spade bit, aka paddle bit. For larger holes, a hole saw may be useful. Also depends on material you are sawing through and condition of bit.

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    Three photos to share related to soffit. First shows two holes in the soffit. Original hole through which the romex and ethernet were in a romex connector together in one exterior box, and the new hole through which I pulled the ethernet cable Second shows second exterior junction box around...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    Two stills/"snapshots" to share out of BI, a night shot and the same frame in daylight. Top third /left third corner of shot is arrival, so this location may call for a long lens camera. Top right corner of shot shows an eave just making it into frame, that has ethernet wire and is another...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    Thanks - will try to improvise a solution along these lines. My soffit is fiber cement (Hardy plank), and is brittle. Perhaps a solution is a husky block made of exterior grade wood, painted, and mounted to the soffit (preferably on framing behind the soffit), It will be more forgiving of holes...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    I was hoping there might be a base plate (or something) that one can mount, to which different camera boxes can be mounted. Would have been great if there was a universal box to mount cameras on, but so far I am understanding that the mounting box varies for each camera. Changing boxes means...

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    I have a T5442T-ZE up on a test rig. Soon cameras will go up on eaves soffits where I already have ethernet. What would be a good way to terminate the ethernet where I have it already at eaves soffits? Specifically, what mounting box or arrangement might be suitable to provide flexibility to...
