Are you using the NAS storage over network or USB or??

My 10+ year old Blue Iris PC is starting to become unreliable. I was given a Dell 3060 Micro Form Factor PC that I'd like to use as a replacement. The Dell PC has a 2.5" SATA HD slot open. Does a 2.5" SATA to e-sata adapter exist that will allow me to use my 3.5" 12TB WD Purple drive? Has...

Gotcha!! Using BI sounds like better choice than using NR to connect to camera. Do you use NR to trigger the Alexa notification? If so, what node do you use?

I have Node-RED running on a Rpi handing a few integrations around the house. I was poking around the node library and found one that connects to Dahua devices. The description is limited and says "Configure motion detection on a Dahua device. Drop the Dahua device node to a flow." I assume...

Most camera mounting locations seem to be around the roof line of a house/building. I would like to put a camera around 4ft or possibly close to the ground facing upward. There have been a couple instances of people walking around the neighborhood stealing stuff from unlocked cars. They are...

This cam popped up while browsing Newegg. Has anyone purchased one? For the cost, I wouldn't mind getting a couple of these to cover some non important areas. VUELAB EZ-IP 4MP IP Powered by DAHUA H.265 / H.265+ Smart Codec IR Bullet Camera 2.8mm Fixed Lens Security Camera - Newegg.com

I implemented a setup similar to what you are describing a few years ago. I added the VZW Hot spot to an existing phone plan that had a data package. I think it was $10 or 20 bucks a month to have the unit on the account and it would use data from the existing plan. I didn't find a hot spot...

That was my original idea. I have a couple Sonoff TH units with a HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors hot glued to the top. My plan was to stick those on each stall's garage door opener facing the floor. It would publish a Mqtt topic of a car being in the stall or not. I wanted to check to see if...

I'm planning on installing a camera in my garage and was wondering if it is possible to detect if a car is in one of two spaces? Not motion but just the presents of a car. If it detects a car, send some sort of output over Ethernet. I want to use this output to set a home/away flag in my home...

Good idea.. That would save quite a bit of rule config. How would BI know which network card to use for remote access vs. cameras? Or does it even need to know?

I recently upgraded my home network to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter light, a AC-Pro AP, and a couple AC-In Wall units. I've very pleased with the coverage and performance of the system.. It works well with 3 Firesticks streaming video, phones, computers, and all my IOT gear. I'm in the process of...

I'm thinking of building a mini-itx based PC for BI only. This PC will reside in a closet so a small form factor and low heat generation is the goal of the build. From what I've read on this forum, BI works best with intel graphics, so it would seem a mini-itx board without any dedicated...
