    Merged/Spanned Disks in BlueIris - Possible?

    I was more worried about losing footage due to time deletion than a drive crapping out. I originally had three 8TB drives in a RAID 5 set up, which allowed for 16TB of storage. I now have a JBOD of 58TB that, depending on a camera's schedule and triggers, allows me to hold over a month on a...

    WTSHTF : 11 Items That Vanish From Walmart in the First 6 Hours of Grid Collapse (What Veterans Grab Instead)

    I had enough toilet paper on the shelf from just my normal purchasing that I never needed to buy toilet paper during all of that. However, I did need to buy it for work, and it was a pain getting enough. Sam's limited you to 1 bundle and my response was "there are 15 or 20 asses to wipe at work...

    I successfully returned my Ring doorbell from 2019 for a full refund.

    This is related to my post about ditching my Ring doorbell, but I thought it needed its own thread. I was able to successfully get a full refund on my Ring Doorbell that I purchased in 2019. I had decided to just remove the doorbell, let it sit in a box, and cut my losses, but after watching a...

    Merged/Spanned Disks in BlueIris - Possible?

    I started with a RAID set up, but then decided to just combine them into JBOD. I don't remember how many drives I have spanned, but BI just sees it as the assigned drive letter and doesn't care.

    New Construction Feedback

    ^^ Everything he said. I have a PTZ on the front corner of my house to hopefully get better captures of people at distance (and be nosy when I am sitting at my PC). My main circle of security is around my home and in my yard, but if the PTZ can get details beyond that then it is a bonus. It is...

    Dahua Indoor cameras

    I use a T54IR-AS in the kitchen/living room space and another in the loft. The playroom has a K42A cube. My office has an E3241 wedge, no reason other than I had one. The basement has some other spare cams.

    Get rid of your Ring, Arlo, Tapo, Blink (or other cloud cameras) and reclaim your privacy!

    Ok, I thought I had read that before and that there was a threshold where it made more sense to include proper hardware.

    Get rid of your Ring, Arlo, Tapo, Blink (or other cloud cameras) and reclaim your privacy!

    I have had some friends ask about non-cloud solutions that do not require an NVR and have remote access. What are people using for SD card cameras and how is remote access achieved?

    I decided to ditch Ring and made my dumb doorbell smart with Hubitat and Blue Iris

    I think I got it. I turned off Anamorphic. It seems it did its thing after that.

    I decided to ditch Ring and made my dumb doorbell smart with Hubitat and Blue Iris

    I kept getting "ghost" alerts with no one in the capture. Apparently the girl across the street is too short to be in frame when ringing the doorbell... I've decided to try rotating the camera to corridor mode, but I can't get it to update in Blue Iris. It looks fine in the GUI. I had no issues...
