    I got the FLIR app working but I had to open the nvr to the internet. Maybe there is a setting that isn't correct in my VPN? I will play around with that as time permits. Thanks again for the information.

    down the rabbit hole

    We moved into a new to us house and have been thinking about an outdoor camera system. The thought process has has evolved from the dubious Blink , to having someone wire my house with a BNC system , to POE and maybe I can just run those cables myself. I've learned that there are...
