My dad has some 4k Lorex IP cams, while trying to debug some POE problems he pushed the reset button on them a few times. Now one camera's Reset button is broken, he pushed it in so far and it won't reset anymore. Is there a way to use Putty or something to tell it to reset via software/command...

My parents have a Lorex kit from Costco w/ four 4K bullet cams and an 8-port NVR, model NR908X-N. Installed everything a few weeks ago and it worked, 4 cameras showed up (ports 1-4) in web app, client, phone app, everything working properly. Turns out the fan was too loud for them so they...

I'm planning on building out my home network soon by adding Cat6 cables to every room, plus running cables to ~8 locations around the house for IP cams. Something that seems like it would solve this is e.g. a 48-port POE gigabit switch (e.g.this Netgear). Is this frowned upon for any reason or...

Costco Wholesale The above is on sale for $499 now at Costco, it's four 4 MP cameras (Lorex) and an accompanying NVR with support for 8 channels and a 2 TB HDD. I've been waiting for a 4 MP bundle since I don't want lower viewing resolution, and 8 CH is probably about as much as I'd want in the...

As the title states, I'm curious why people highly recommend the prebuild computers when some people ask what type of rig to build capable of handling Blue Iris. Is it just because they're a good value relative to the parts you can buy separately and configure yourself? Just wondering as...

I've read some about BlueIris and that it seems to have good motion sensing capabilities, but that doing so requires a ton of CPU usage, whereas simply saving cam data to disk is much less of a CPU burden. Do the majority of people do motion sensing and only save data triggered by those events...

So I got a deal alert from slickdeals for a system with 4 or 6 LaView cams (4 MP) with the NVR. (4 cam bundle $600, 6 cam bundle $900). How do people feel about LaView cameras in general? I've been looking for some higher quality (3 MP+) cameras to get a system started for my home and figured...

I'm in the research stage and was wondering if heat is an issue for having a server in a confined closet. I'd like to have my data storage in a locked closet which won't have AC. Do NVRs or even more powerful systems with Blue Iris cause too much heat for a closet that doesn't get circulation...
