I was thinking along those lines. I am loathe to install Java 7 on any machine under my control.

So I have been out of the IP Admin game for a LONG time. The last time I did this it was for a living and it was a different time (Cheers was still a new show then). So imagine my surprise when I find out that my new NETGEAR GS110TPv2 needs Java installed to manage the ports. One more piece...

I bought from a "cargo warehouse" outfit in KC, MO eBay ID: cargolargo that depots damaged, open box, and returned items. Not all sellers actually know what they have. For example the same brand+model number might have different specs depending on the year/season; some casual sellers simply...

jcraigcx, Welcome from another newb. I am NOT a CPU expert but I just went through this "What PC for BI" scenario in my installation and I think the chip you list has one "strike" against it at the start: the age of the chip family. As I understand it, a lot of the BI synergy with modern chip...

I was thinking under 20' for a pole. Using oilfield pipe for a mast I am limited by what I can haul on my trailer - 22ft dovetail outfit. So if I am starting with 22 or 24ft pipe and I bury 5ft in the ground I have 20' or less left. In past life I secured a commercial perimeter with 18' masts...

Its probably wise to post some more details with a help request - but do so in the "IP Cameras" area so that the right people will see it. I don't think you are going to get enough people looking here in the Welcome area. I grew up in the US Midwest and we had barn owls on our farm too.

Stanley71, I am less brave and I'm only starting with one new camera until I decide what I like. I ordered a single Dahua turret. I don't have a Blue Iris (BI) server yet and I'm lurking around my local auction sites looking for that now. I did order an "open box" Netgear managed PoE switch...

Welcome Barnowl (love the name) If we operate from the theory that your camera is working but has "reset" itself somehow you might try the following: 1. Look for it on its default IP address. 2. Examine the IP addresses leased (issued to devices) by your DHCP server. Once you eliminate the...

Welcome from OK. I'm in the same boat except moving from some older IP cams. Honestly I would have been better off with CCTV years ago but I like to tinker with the new.

"Yojinbo" comes from one of my favorite Akira Kurosawa films. I am not Japanese nor do I speak more than 10 words thereof. Executive Summary: Old tech guy upgrading the kit at his home. (further reading optional) I'm a middle-aged tech "hobbyist". I work in IT Services - exclusively in ERP...

I have downloaded BI (but not installed it) and I've been reading 2 to 3 hours a day. I watched a few videos. I'm stalking a lot of used Dell desktops at a local surplus auction (read the BI Hardware guide). I have new Netgear PoE Switch on order (AMZ Warehouse deal - open box). I dismounted...

I appreciate you all directing me to the optional path of maximum return to a worthy Developer. Its good to know that I could get it cheaper but I just paid $59.95 directly. If money were real tight I might have chosen another path. Get ready for "duh" newb questions in the weeks ahead.

I appreciate the info - I will buy directly when I do. I have a motley collection of IP cams collected over 13 years and it will interesting to see how I can mesh them into a "system" with Blue Iris. I live a "quiet area" but its getting less quiet every year.

I see a USD $45 package on AMZ by Amcrest - I am guessing buying directly from the Blue Iris website will put more money into the developer's hands? I have been watching Blue Iris for a long time and I'm finally ready to buy, I think.
