The explanations and help on this forum were invaluable to me. From knowing nothing about cameras, I was able yesterday to install a Dahua on the outer wall of my house, with Blue Iris set up on my PC, and OpenVPN in my router. I'm still sorting things out (still have to research how to control...

Ah ok. I thought if I left the BI server enabled with port 81, it'd listen to port 81 ignoring the VPN. But I think I understand now - the BI server would listen to port 81, but since I didn't forward it from the router, nothing would come through from outside the home network. But if I enter...

I got a tplink a20 router. it has 6 antennas and I think a quad core for VPN processing. I generated the certificate on the router and I put a copy in my android phone, but I am not sure how to set up BI web server in the BI software. So do I understand it right that the BI web server is only...

I installed Blue Iris v5 (my Dahua cameras from Andy are in the mail), and I set up the OpenVPN server on my brand new router. Now how do I set it up so that I can access Blue Iris remotely, while keeping it secure? I'm confused on whether I should access my PC remotely through the VPN without...

If I set up OpenVPN on a w10 machine that I use for Blue Iris as well - what happens if I close OpenVPN on the w10 machine? The router (which in this setup is not running a VPN server) would have port forwarding towards the w10 machine for the VPN traffic. What happens to that port if OpenVPN is...

I already have a flexible fishtape from when I built the AC : ) How would I route all the cat cable then, should I bring each individual cable from each camera into a closet or a room with the PoE switch? Thanks for the links!

Hey there, I've been reading the cliff notes and several threads, but I'm still trying to sort everything out! I just installed some mini split AC by myself but this seems more complicated! I live in a quiet neighborhood but the new neighbors are genuinely from hell, so I decided to set up some...
