    I only need to monitor packages and perhaps theft, that's 10ft away. Then in the driveway just keep an eye on the cars. No license plates or anything. The area is very well lit during the day, at night there is only star and moon light.

    I run 3 IP cameras currently. 1 Hikvision, 1 Amcrest, and 1 China offbrand. All POE. I probable like the Amcrest the best, but the Hikvision is low end. I do not record yet, my 3 internals are for live view only. I need to add a POE camera to the front porch. It will be under roughly 2 feet of...

    Well, I already have the BI license and PC, so no out of pocket for that option. I tried to plug in an Android box and run the BI app on it... and its miserable. Seems the only way to show BI is through the web page.

    A NVR is for local recording mainly, which I do not need at all. So basically I would be spending $200 to do what BlueIris does, plus added features I dont need. Also, would connecting my 4 different make model cams to one NVR prove difficult? Not bashing your suggestion, just trying to weigh it...

    So I have been hacking away at this... and a lot of people are recommending TinyCam Monitor. Here are my notes: 1. TinyCam has to be setup per phone, manually. This means I have to add my 4 cameras to my phone, then my wifes phone, then the ipad, then the other android device. Changes need to...

    I'll check it out, I think I have a R Pi 3B lying around. This is stable as in it can run for a week without me having to go hit the power button to reboot it? Also, I would get rid of Blue Iris with this solution, yeah? If I get rid of BI, then I would have to plug the cameras back into the...

    I'm not overly happy with #4, it just works ok. Have to worry about heat, visibility, power, OS, security, etc. I would love something that was 0 maintenance and just works.

    So this would be no BlueIris, and from camera right into TinyCam... That's what used to run on my phone. Does those show the all camera view full screen without borders? Does app need to be restarted frequently?

    I have a very simple need. Three IP cameras on a LAN, no recording only live view. I need all 3 on one 26" monitor in the living room. I have tried 3 solutions, to varying degrees of success: 1. Blue Iris on server, with 3 cameras going to it. Chromecast on monitor, dialing into that website...
