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...

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...

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...

Do ya'll have a Go-to start point for your camera settings when setting them up for night time? I've learned a lot on these forums, but I still can't comprehend camera settings. I have some 5442 camera's, an HFW5241E-Z12E mounted about 100' away from my barn and zoomed in to just catch the...

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...

Okay guys, I"m FINALLY getting around to putting up some cameras at my not-so new to me anymore house I've had for a year. I haven't had any issues out here yet but petty crime is picking up in the area and I want good footage for when it works it's way out here. I've posted some pictures of my...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello everyone. New member here from Oklahoma. As I'm sure a lot of people got their start in security cameras, I recently had my truck rummaged through that has sent me on a camera journey. I am currently running some Swann 5mp cameras that were free to me. It's a 16 channel dvr with 8 cameras...
