Fab - sincere thanks all. I think I have come down to two options: 1. Use Tailscale and see if I can set up a site to site VPN. Use BI on the main site with a PC, link the second site and tie the cameras in to site 1 VPN 2. Set up BI on separate PCs at each site - but this would mean...

The second location has gigabit broadband so should be okay. I’ve done port forwarding but I’m new to vpn connecting routers between locations. Is this straightforward? Do you know of any guides or software that works to enable it? Sorry to ask newbie questions

Hi yes the latter. One pc and blue iris licence at one location with the cameras from the second location on the same device. I’ve 5g backup and a power supply at the main location so resilience is pretty good - one of the reasons for going down this route

Hi all, I have been a long term fan of Blue Iris and used the app for the last 7 or 8 years. I have a use case where I would like to add cameras at a second property to my existing set up. Initially I had thought about a second pc and licence for blue iris, but that would mean having to log out...

Hi there. Sorry to ask what may be a bit of a noobie question, but how do you run sub streams to get the CPU down? Whats the setting for this? I am running an i7 but get high cpu counts; 16gb ram and 7 dahua cameras - 4ptz

I have the same issue today. Not impressed as the reason I have been a long term BI fan is I thought we avoid server dependence at BI or any cloud hosting of elements. Why do they need to do this as the key authentication should be locked to your local machine once done. If BI servers are down...

Amazing - thanks for the fast response. I was looking at the NVR5816. I was also looking at the newer style Dahua: VCR Nvr IP Dahua 4K 8MPX 16 Channels IP Ultrahd but I can't find much on these. I think they may be better in terms of AI and app integration, but would be great to get views...

Interesting and thanks so much. I currently run 8 dahua cameras (mix of PTZ, stargazer and colour night time cameras) working with BlueIris. We are now selling our house and leaving the camera set up, but blue iris will be too complex to leave especially with the port forwarding required to...

I love how we are all trying to get blue iris to integrate with Alexa and the echo show. I can’t believe how hard it is to do. I’ve given up. But I do wonder if we should start a specific thread to see how many people would want this feature prioritised by blue iris for dev. Maybe we can...

Sounds great - thanks and may well take you up on that if it's not a hassle. Will have a look at the models and PM you in the coming days. Thanks

Thanks and seems to be a good price.... will keep a look out for reviews. Unfortunately I don't have a trade account yet so will be paying a bit more at the RRP

Great, have been waiting for these to come out. Do you know pricing and best stockist, as I am struggling to find them in the UK

Hi there - you guys have better eyesight then me for sure as the pin holes are tiny. Is it just the case of putting a bit of wire between pin hole 1 and 2 to short out? Thanks in advance

Another thought, if this integration were possible, I’m assuming it could be used to kick off other skills such as turning on lights on detecting motion on a specific camera via Alexa skills? I use Alexa but have not tried with ifttt skills

Massively interested in bi and Alexa show integration - would happily pay a premium for this service or be a beta adopter ie Show displaying BI feed on motion. Has Ken @BI been informed of this post as it could build into a support case for this feature to be developed or prioritised on his...

I haven’t yet but will do. I’ve also found a cheaper source here too, but will certainly drop him a note to see what he can offer. Sincere thanks.

That’s good to know - I thought it had Poe+. Bit annoying if not. I will have to look at a poe+ pack or install power nearby. Not a big hassle but would have loved to just have a cat 6 cable direct to it. Oh well. Think I am set for this camera unless there are any other views. Thanks everyone...

also - I meant to ask, can the Sd49225T-HN be run just from POE, or does it need a separate power supply? I have a Netgear GS724TP which I think supports POE+ Thanks in advance

Very helpful. I have a mixed line up of one decent ptz out front and fixed cameras too. I will do something similar out back. One question as I’m confused by the vast line up of DAHUA cameras and the cost differences. I can get: Sd49225T-HN for £325 Sd59220T-HN jumps to £699 Sd50430u-HNI...

That's really interesting and great to know... I was primarily going for the more expensive camera for the 4Mp and auto-tracking. As the 2MP seems to be pretty good resolution anyway, I think that I will stick with the Dahua DH-SD49225T-HN 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network High Speed IP Dome...

Great - I hadn’t appreciated that the more expensive intelligent version didn’t have ir. Based on reviews here it certainly seem that the cheaper SD49225T-HN may actually be a better option. Not sure I need image stabilisation. But auto tracking. Would have been great if movement is detected...

hi there. Awesome forum and very helpful advice - really makes a difference. I could do with a bit of help though... I have a domestic setup of around 11 cameras, a mix of vivotek (good but old school), dahua 3mm and 6mm and ptz: SD22204-GT ptz - cheap and good image HDW4331C - great image and...
