    BI login security

    I am not using Cloudflare but I am using fail2ban on my syslog server which captures haproxy logs. How does authelia/authentik work? Are there then multiple login prompts (i.e. first authelia then bi)?

    BI login security

    I recently moved BI from VPN only access, and put it behind a reverse proxy (haproxy running on pfSense) and I am wondering if I can (or should) harden login security. Obviously port scanning is not going to find my BI port but what is the likelihood that someone could discover my...

    pfsense/haproxy/blueiris always shows "200" in logs

    You gave me what I needed for haproxy so I'm happy. I should probably not dwell on what could/could not happen in a situation like logging out/in and not getting the 401 in the log because of browser caching. Now to bash my head against the wall with haproxy and regex. Thanks again.

    pfsense/haproxy/blueiris always shows "200" in logs

    Thanks using Basic or Digest does give a 401 for a bad password in the haproxy log. One unexpected oddity though, after authentication through the Digest login the URL that is displayed in my browser changes to https://mydomain.com/blueiris/ui3.htm?t=live&group=index. After poking around at...

    pfsense/haproxy/blueiris always shows "200" in logs

    I'm having trouble capturing failed login attempts to my blueiris VM with haproxy. I'm using the pfSense version of haproxy and it is working perfectly for a jellyfin container and the blueiris VM. Unfortunately, the only thing that is being captured in the haproxy logs for failed connections...

    BI on Proxmox with Synology storage

    I am having some issues mounting a CIFS folder from my Synology to my Blueiris VM (on Proxmox). Background: A few years ago I moved my BI installation from a desktop PC with a video card to a VM on a Proxmox cluster and it runs great. I had plenty of NAS storage available so I moved my...

    New build recommendations/ideas

    I am a long time BI user that hasn't done much customization but since the current PC is flaking out I built a new Franken-box with 64G RAM, an Intel 14th Gen processor (28 cpus) 1x1TB and 1x4TB M.2 SSD's and a Gigabyte 3060 video card, and thought I might explore AI. Yes, I know the hardware...

    Uniview LightHunter IR Mini PTZ Dome (IPC6312LR-AX4-VG) experiences

    Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with this Uniview camera? I think Uniview is a rebrand that Nelly's is selling but I could be wrong. "UNV 2MP NDAA-Compliant LightHunter IR Mini PTZ Dome IP Security Camera (IPC6312LR-AX4-VG)"

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    I dropped the Bluecherry VM, stuck with Blueiris, and went on to break plenty of other stuff on my home network :). I liked the idea of running a linux camera server but I liked paying BI support $49/year even more than the hassle of switching and possibly paying more.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    A few years ago I tried Bluecherry for a few months but not with any AI. Things were not always quite "polished". I contacted the devs about some issues and even gave them ssh access through my firewall to the Bluecherry VM so they could tinker and test. Seemed like there was always another...

    How to ideally seal a cable hole in a 5" PVC camera mounting box?

    How long do you realistically think you will have that camera for? Newer models with neater features are coming out rather frequently ... how many years until your cam is EOL and no more software updates? I would think a properly sealed box will outlast the camera.

    I am trying out Shinobi right now, thanks.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Hello and thanks for the suggestion. I use pfSense firewall and block all cameras from internet access and VPN in to view them live. I don't often find myself remotely looking at previously recorded video so thats not going to be a problem. I'll look at Frigate shortly.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    An update on my bluecherry experience ... I installed the server component on an Ubuntu VM and the client on an Ubuntu desktop. I had a few problems configuring some cameras and the devs were very responsive. After a whirlwind of back and forth, and even punching a hole in my firewall for...

    Amcrest cameras and Blue Iris

    I run Blueiris and 12 of my 16 cameras are Amcrest (IP4M-1041, IP4M-1190, IP5M-T1179E, and IP5M-1190), indoor and outdoor, purchased from Amazon, with the oldest purchased in Oct 2021. All are PTZ and they all run wired (no wifi) and have been fine for at least the past year. They are not POE...
