    Should I switch from BI to Dahua or Hikvsion NVR?

    I've been running Blue Iris since 2016, and currently have 7 no-name cameras covering my home interior and exterior running on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU with 6GB of RAM.

    What solutions have you found to secure your network from unauthorized access through the LAN connection on an IP camera? I'm considering an IP doorbell camera, but one thing that concerns me is that ability of a technically savvy intruder to access the LAN connection in the back of the camera...

    timelapse between triggers

    Does anyone know of a way to have BI record a continuous time lapse clip until the camera is triggered and then switch to normal speed? Since the object and motion tracking sometimes doesn't trigger unless I set it so high that I get lots of false triggers, I would rather reduce the trigger...
