I see what you're doing. I'm going to do this as well. I know our times will be different but is there a preferred time to have the schedule change it from day/night? 1 hour before, 1 hour after, spot on, etc. Also as I'm typing this my camera swapped back to color on its on even though I...

I bought one of these and I have it setup. It works for a few days then gets out of focus. I know focus has been mentioned on here but could someone explain to me what I need to do to keep this thing focused?

I just read where you said it works if you use a browser but not the app. I wouldn’t think it’s the ISP if you’re using OpenVPN since your tunnel is connecting. It has to be an app setting not set right.

When you're using your iPhone are you on another WIFI connection? Reason I ask is I have OpenVPN setup at home and my business. Both private networks are on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnets. If I was on my WIFI at home and connected to my VPN connection at my business it wouldn't see my business...

This just furthers my hate for lawyers.

LOL. I swear I've seen that somewhere. Thing about it is if it is a product and you get all three, it was probably stolen.

Yeah no doubt. I told my wife I could try to work with support on it and she F that. Send it back, buy from the original source(Andy). I was happy for those reply. :D

I have read a lot of posts here. I have read over and over about purchasing the cheapo Dahua cameras that have the English firmware hacked on them or whatever being trash and just to pay the extra money and go with Empire Tech Andy. I have already bought 6 cameras from Andy, 1 4MP and 5 8MP...

This guy knows.

I have D2D on as well. When I review recorded videos, the overlay is on but when I export the video the overlay isn't there. This make sense?

Do you know why direct to disk is on by default since it performs so much better this way? What is the benefit of not having direct to disk enabled?

Nice. I've never researched alarms and only assumed you had to go through one of those bs companies that charge half a liver.

Does this $200 alarm come with a monthly service or is it just a loud noise?

I have users setup like this. In the user section there should be permissions. Set it up like you want there. I have it where this business owner and her clunky sister can't make any changes that will affect the system.

Hopefully you're on Windows 10, it'll show what I'm asking for. Take a screen shot of the task manager with the "Performace tab selected and then the CPU tab selected. This should show what processor you have and if you have IGD passthrough helping your processor which you probably don't. Like...

You could always check out Unraid too. I've been using it for years and am upgrading the hardware now for a VM with BI on it with IGD passthrough so BI can utilize the Intel Quicksync. It has a lot of support in the Unraid forums when many apps. Mine runs all of my TV Shows, Movies, OpenVPN, and...

The Blue Iris tools will backup your old version in case the update breaks your setup.

I just setup Blue Iris for a business in my town. Their upload varies between 3-4 Mbps like yours. When reviewing clips or live view I have seen this orange clock symbol but it goes away and works fine. Maybe there is something else going on with your system. Even when I was testing this on my...

For the $20-25 price difference, might as well. If you buy a PC with 4, just buy another stick.

I would assume it is possible but the quality isn't going to be very good with those upload speeds the cameras will have access to.

I have BI setup to send notifications with pictures. Is there a way for it to send animated(GIF) SMS notifications? I'm guessing there isn't since it isn't in the alert options. I've read threads about it being an option with push notifications to the app and in that research it appears that...

I used to port forward each service I needed but now I use VPN. Using those same services over a VPN connection seem to be much more responsive. I have 1mbps upload on a great day.

So you are able to get audio while using the UI3 or directly from the camera's GUI?

I came in to say what was already answered but to add a little more. At least one port will have to be opened for OpenVPN to work. Obviously the default port is 1194. You could change this to some odd port in OpenVPN and your router to make it a little less obvious that you're using OpenVPN...

Came here to say the same thing but I also think even if you get an M.2 PCIe it is still Motherboard dependent. I will be putting a M.2 in mine only to free up a SATA power plug and 1 less drive bay spot.

Spend some quality time reading this form man. I started reading about 4 weeks ago and realized there is soooo much I didn't know but now understand about cameras and systems. There are two dreams I was chasing, high FPS and high megapixels. Both are dumb, and I know that now. I think there is...

1. Possibly sniffed on the LAN, but not the WAN. 2. I cant speak from experience or knowledge but it seems to be an acceptable way here. I recommend VPN rather than this. 3. If by "others" you mean me or the fine folks at ipcamtalk.com, no. Even with a VPN you have to have 1 port open into...

I came here to say the same thing. @Dasstrum, your videos are very helpful. They are detailed but not long winded. Thank you.

Derpy Durr, and endless loop of monitoring devices.

I can't speak for Amcrest but I bought my key from here. I've been reading this site nonstop for about two weeks. Learned so much so far.
