    Camera Recommendations

    With Blue Iris you can set a schedule for a profile that will send alerts for your indoor cameras.

I have a couple hidden cameras in...

    Can I temp share a live BI cam feed with guests?

    Don't forget you can isolate connections by IP blocks also. For example you can't log into my Blue Iris Webserver from location, the lan is denied and in fact the only allowed connection is my OpenVPN virtual lan. Now if I want to give access to someone I assign them an OpenVPN encrypted...

    (SMS) Text Message Alarm for Android phone??

    Long story short: I need my phone to fire a loud alarm when it receives a keyword by text but I think my Samsung Note 5 doesn't allow apps to manipulate incoming text messages, so it can't pickup keywords. Long story long: My very trusty Blue Iris sends me text messages and emails if there is...

    Help: IP Camera with DVR built in versus only with SD card?

    Question: What different configurations are there for network cameras? Are there IP cameras with built in dvr and without dvr but only with sd card slot? On another note many of them seem to have dvr functions built in but I don't need to login to just one camera at once. Should I avoid any...
