I can't install OpenVpn my Windstream Arris Modem/Router so I installed it on a Raspberry Pi I had using piVPN. I setup a free account with Dynu for DNS. Everything is working great. Is there any down side on using the Raspberry Pi for VPN server?

Prior to March 1, BI was checking for updates at Startup and would asked me if I wanted to install. It no longer does that and when I try to "Check for update now" I get the following error My internet connection is good and I manually downloaded March 4 update and installed. Anyone else...

Anyone using this router with OpenVPN? Sam's is going to run it on sale for $149.98 on November 10th. I was thinking about getting one. Currently only running OpenVPN on my BI server.

Andy- Got my second camera Monday. Ca't believe how quick you turn orders around. Excellent service. A wise boss once told me "It is five times easier to keep customers you have than to get a new one". You definitely understand the importance of great service. Two of my Foscams are now...

While I haven't had any problems with the POE switch in the attic, it get really hot in Oklahoma, so I am moving it to the garage. I currently have one camera in the garage and used a keystone jack mounted to the ceiling. This is the general location I want to move the POE switch and will...

Got my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and ordered a PFA137 with it. Got it mounted and camera is awesome. When I ordered the PFA137 I didn't realize the connector would not be totally enclosed. The camera is mounted to the soffit and reasonably protected from the elements unless there is a blowing rain. I...

Thank you Andy for the excellent service. Swapped out one of my Foscam FI9900P for Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. Ordered it Sunday and got Friday morning. Up and running and first impression is it is a fantastic camera and upgrade from my FI9900P.

I have an unmanaged switch in the attic that has been working great, but while installing new camera I was wondering if I should put some dielectric grease on each cable going to switch as a preventative measure. How about the 12 volt power connectors? It gets hot and humid in attic.

In the process of replacing Foscam cameras with Dahua cameras with POE and POE Switch but short term I need use what I have. I want to relocate the Foscam I am replacing to another location and don't want to invest in adding a 120VAC box near the relocated Foscam camera since I will be going...

Looking to improve cameras and suggestions. I have a couple of Foscam FI9900P out front that have performed pretty good the last couple of years during the day time. I am considering replacing them to to see if I can get better night images. The Front entry is about 8 feet wide and has brick on...

I added a second NIC on my BI Server for cameras and everything is working great except NTP on cameras. The second NIC IP is 192.168.253.60, cameras are 192.168.253.50, 51, 52. The other NIC is 192.168.254.98 which is what BI is showing on my Web Server LAN access. Installed Nettime. I have set...

My current configuration is as shown below. My question is, to better isolate the cameras should I install a second NIC and can I connect the unmanaged switch with cameras to second NIC or will I need additional hardware. I am not clear how to configure the second NIC.

I recently bought a HP Elitedesk G1 SFF off of ebay that is working great for my requirements. I registered it on HP support and it says there is a 17 month remaining warranty. Has any one used the HP warranty on a computer purchased off of ebay? Hopefully no problems down the road, but...

While I am still investigating VPN pros and cons, I am using Port Forwarding on Blue Iris. I am watching Blue Iris Status - Connections and seeing some short connections 2-3 seconds and when I do Whois IP is says Ripe.net. Is this something to do with Blue Iris?

I have searched through forum and can't find and threads that provide a solution with Cricket/AT&T not connecting via WAN. I can’t connect to BI remote UI3 WAN when I use my Cricket mobile data. If I use my Wifi on the phone and connect LAN it works fine. I have also had bp2008 try to...

Trying to get UI3 to connect from Android phone from when I am not on local WIFI. When I try to connect using WAN address I get Login failed but Blue Iris did not provide a reason. I used the Remote access wizard to configure and everything looks right to me. I used canyouseeme.org to...
