    Exposing EyeSurv ION NVR to Interwebz?

    Hi All- So I've been toying with the idea of exposing my EyeSurv Ion 8 Channel NVR to the internet so that I can remote view when away from home, since there is no cloud services, even tho the firmware and Nellys' both tout it as being "cloud enabled". Other than the normal "any time you...

    4 Up Viewing?

    Has anyone figured out how to make BI display just 4 cameras instead of 6? I have currently 4 cams installed, and on the live view I can only get it to show 4 live cameras, and 2 grey boxes where more cameras should be... TIA

    Alerts JPG Creation?

    Does anyone here use the JPG creation along with recording on motion? If so I'm curious as to why/how this is valuable to you? To me it seems a bit redundant, but I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to Blue Iris, and would love to hear others experience on this... I'm currently running...

    Norcal Hikvision Nightmare

    Hi All, I've recently installed 4 Hikvision DS-2CD2332 2.8mm 1080p POE cameras, and have been futzing with both the iVMS4200 and Blue Iris software, trying to figure out what would be the better of the two for a PC based NVR solution. The iVMS software doesn't use near the PC resources of that...
