    OpenVPN Upgrade

    I recently went through the OpenVPN upgrade on both my iPhone and iPad. I couldn't initially connect with the saved profile but then I noticed that the profile contains only my password but not my username. I retyped my username on both devices and they are working again. That was how I...

    New Ring Alarm System 199

    My understanding is that you can self-monitor via Internet for free. However, for $8.33 a month (if you pay $100 for the year in advance), you get 24/7 professional monitoring and cellular backup in case the Internet is down. It's definitely a game changer that's shaking up the home security...

    Sending a "Push Notification" with a picture only, no video clip?

    I am now able to get alert image preview with push notification. The solution is probably obvious to the experienced Blue Iris users but I am going to explain what I did so others in similar situation may benefit (or correct me if I'm wrong). Since I am using OpenVPN, I didn't forward any...

    Sending a "Push Notification" with a picture only, no video clip?

    Thanks Fenderman. That's good to know. I didn't know that Blue Iris supports alert image preview with push notification. I am using OpenVPN on iOS 11.3.1 but I don't think that should matter so I have to do some troubleshooting now. RL, you may want to check the following thread discussing...

    Sending a "Push Notification" with a picture only, no video clip?

    Assuming you have already configured an outgoing SMTP server correctly, you should be able to attach an image to an SMS text or email message and send it to your phone. This is what I did to get a picture of what caused the trigger. There will be some occasions when the image is not good enough...

    [HELP] Camera Triggering on Natural Sun Movement Shadows

    Hi Nyghthawk, You should try Blue Iris Zone Crossing feature. It helps me to deal with moving shadows during the day so it should help you also. Dasstrum did a wonderful job in his video. Please take a look. You may want to browse some of his other videos as well in this thread. Blue Iris...

    FYI - Amazon deal of the day LaView / Hik OEM 1080P WiFi 360° PT camera $37.45

    I also just received this from Amazon. I was able to pan and tilt with no problem via Blue Iris and its mobile app. Everything also appears to work fine via LaView Connect mobile app except for two-way audio since the speaker emits distorted loud noises.

    New Ring Alarm System 199

    Wow! I agree that Ring alarm system price along with 24/7 professional monitoring with cellular backup for only $10 a month is an amazingly great value. I was planning to buy Abode alarm system but now it seems prudent to wait and see. Since Amazon now owns Ring, it's possible that they may be...

    Hello and Thank You

    There is a wealth of information here on this forum. I currently have Arlo Pro cameras, which are so convenient to use, but they are not adequate for my needs. I was initially thinking of getting a Lorex 6x 4K security camera system from Costco. However, after spending some time reading the...
