Hey guys. Wanted to report back since it has been awhile. I never was able to get the internet running for about 3 weeks until I had my brother up there. I had him recycle the power on the devices in a particular order and it started working again. The internet just doesn’t always know how to get going again when the power goes out. Drives me crazy.
Still have not, but thinking of tying into a cell backup system with wifi switches simply to reboot the internet cable modem and wifi router in a particular order.
@tangent is helping me with a remote cell modem build. Very cool idea!
Sometime in December 2017 we got the internet back up and it has been working great all winter. There has been a few power outages and the internet went out for a few days, but the old school power timers recycled the boxes every three days and it was able to gets itself going again. Wooohoo!
Aside from the internet outages. I feel like I really have the machine I set out to build 1.5 years ago. The
Blue Iris on the Dell computers works amazing. The Dahua cameras are fabulous. Having Adobe Premiere on the Dell and logging into remotely with Team Viewer to edit has been spectacular. I’ll post another edit of the time lapses. Very cool to work with 20gb of data remotely and not transfer it over the internet.
The cameras and Blue Iris have worked flawlessly through hot and cold and snow and rain and very happy with the choices people helped me with. Could not have done it without all the help of this forum.
It is snowing tonight. Below is a video of me looking through the tapes. I get really good 15fps on live feed, not sure why the recorded motion clips have slow 5fps playback speed??? But so so so happy with BI and
@bp2008 ’s amazing web GUI. Feeling thankful tonight.
