    Thief caught on camera at my house

    While it's hard to see what the little thief got, it was a chuck it and ball I use playing fetch with my dog. I looked all over for this thing yesterday, so eventually went back to my cameras to track it down and this is what I saw. I guess I'm not good at setting them up, my 5442 cameras...

    Blurry when FFW or RW at more than 2X?

    So I've recently updated my Blue Iris to 5.9.7.4, which fixed my notification issue, however now I'm trying to backtrack on my cameras and see when a coyote attacked it, but if I fast forward or rewind at more than 2x speed, the camera goes blurry until I get back down to 2x or less speed, at...

    New phone, no notifications

    So my push alerts were working fine on my old phone, then I got a new one and used the Samsung smart switch to transfer everything over. I'm set up using zero tier to access the cameras, which I can do even from the new phone. I'm away from home but connect to my computer using a remote desktop...

    Dang cats are expensive.

    Never been a cat guy, but quickly realized they are a necessity after moving out of town and in what is basically the middle of a pasture. Gotta admin the dang things grew on me. Coyotes got one not long ago. Took me a week to go back and really comb through footage after she went missing. They...

    What the heck is going on with my system?

    I don't think this is directly Blue Iris related but I think it's the best place for the thread, as I may have to give up Blue Iris if I can't get this figured out. Firstly, My Blue Iris PC is a Dell Optiplex 5050 with an I7-6700, 32 GB of RAM, dual NIC, using the onboard and a TP-Link card I...

    Reboot PC when no internet connection?

    I wasn't sure where to put this, so this is the section I ended up choosing. Yesterday I had an issue. I was home in the morning and my step-dad showed up and I didn't even know because I didn't get any notifications. I used remote desktop to log into my Blue Iris PC, which worked fine, and...

    Need help choosing the right switch

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a good switch for my cameras. I'm fine with used on Ebay but I've learned I don't know what I'm doing. I purchased a 12 port Brocade ICX 6430 just to test the waters and after messing with it for the past hour, I've decided that I'll never even figure out how to enable...

    Ideas for the best way to do this

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some ideas here. Originally I was wanting to just use a nanostation to shoot from house 1 to house 2 (My house to my old house) to get all cameras on the same network, but I ended up getting my mom some new IP cameras to replace her aging camera system, so I'm thinking...

    I need your expertise

    This isn't really about my camera setup, but it is about networking in a way. Either tomorrow or Tuesday the phone company is supposed to come and get me hooked up to VDSL. I'm currently using a WISP provider that I've been with for the last 17 years, and while obviously speeds have improved...

    I don't care what ya'll say....

    This is deep enough! I'm running outdoor rated (but not direct burial) cat 5e in conduit to get back to my garage, and to get to the cameras on the house since my attic design sucks. It's a 98 degree heat index right now and only getting hotter. Ditch is maybe 6-8" deep. I'm leaving several...

    I really hate eBay

    So I haven't shopped on eBay for years, but decided maybe I wanted to run a blue Iris server or at least see what it's really about and if I didn't like it I could just use the desktop as I'm currently using my surface pro that doesn't have an Ethernet port...... I shop around for a while...

    New member, trying to sort this out.

I am currently running some Swann 5mp cameras that were free to me. It's a 16 channel dvr with 8 cameras...
