    Todays venture with my 4 year messed up VTO/VTH config

    A number of years ago, I purchased the VTO/VTH combo package from @EMPIRETECANDY Andy as a cool toy. This is a Villa Intercom station & display, NOT a doorbell unit: VTO 2202F-P (P=POE hardwired, not WiFi) and the VTH model 2421F-P (hardwired, not WiFi) The VTO is what sits outside by the front...

    Copying "overlays" from 1 camera to all

    Duh... hahahahaha... I'm old :) Ok.. has been a number of years since originally setting up individual cameras. Different "styles" for configuration based on what I was learning on the go, while leaving some older configurations alone in the dust forgotten about. On 4 cameras, I had the...

    Copying "overlays" from 1 camera to all

    Always wanted to get temp, wind, rain etc on all my camera displays but just never had the time to fiddle with BIT, Weather Underground, and Blue Iris Overlays. Now, I have time to fiddle! I do have my own weather station. Following the help file from BIT, created a Weather Underground account...

    Empiretech camera died, Troubleshooting tips? Determine model number?

    check the brass pins in the RJ45 connector. Odds are, if any outdoor IP camera magically dies without getting any link like when directly plugged into a POE switch, odds are the pins shorted out which could fry the camera. Any outdoor camera, I add di-electric grease to. A little $10 safety...

    Ever wondered why countries within the EU advanced faster than the US?

    I bet same people would not be happy with Russia being #1 super power, or China.

    Help with EOL router replacement options

    I just did the same as @weigle2 Though, not too sure of all the Ubiquiti vocabulary. I did get the Cloud Gateway Ultra (not max). Unsure if I made mistake or not. This Ultra is an upgrade from my 2017'ish Ubiquiti UDM (or is it UDR? again..vocabulary). For sure, needed something that can...

    IP cam network separation?

    I mean..... I have a 48 port Ubiquiti POE managed 500w switch with different VLAN's. If that fails, I have more concerns to worry about than network security. While I agree different purposed switches for backup purposes is great... can only go down the rabbit hole so far.

    Camera Purchase - Unable to contact support

    Has been awhile since contacting Blue Iris author. Isn't his name "mike" as well? Last time he & I were in discussion, I asked him to have Blue Iris have it's own NTP server for keeping all the IP camera times in-sync and he asked 'why?' :)

    Ever wondered why countries within the EU advanced faster than the US?

    Europe has not need for USA type of defense and spending, until Ukraine/Russia. Who wants to interfere / disrupt anything in Europe, in regard to politics or land mass? They are no World Police, like America is. Their foreign policies end at their borders. USA has interjected itself into...

    2.8 PTZ

    1.) confirmed to track HUMANS only. Not VEHICLES 2.) You would be asking alot of this camera for night time purposes beyond 10-20'. That is not it's purpose. 3.) When triggered, it will illuminate. You define what triggers it by object (HUMAN and/or VEHICLE) by IVS / Tripwire. The...

    Emerging details from the Epstein Files unfold...slowly....

    The dude upgraded his network gear to the latest greatest for this time frame.... but yet, kept his 1994 Panasonic 2 pair digital phone system intact? Doesn't even have Music On Hold or Overhead paging inputs connected (the 4 RCA connectors on right-most card). And that cable management...

    Accessing cams with BI on NVR POE ports

    I know I have Blue Iris at home, VPN tunnel to my work office. At my work office, we have some Dahua IP cameras plugged into POE switch + Dahua NVR. These IP cameras feed both NVR + Blue Iris fine & dandy. As for accessing cameras behind a NVR? Dunno's.

    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    since Blue Iris already does MQTT, that covers most of all automations I can think of. I have spare Pi's laying around... even some older i3 NUC's that I can just simply slap UI3 on as a source for TV or something. I'll figure something sweet out :) Just spent a good $3k this December for...

    OnlyFans

    During my 40+ years of researching online adult sites for scientific hypothesizes, it does come to my surprise that 1 day prior to OnlyFans, there were back channel low key webcamera sites littered all over the place. These women (and I guess men...but that wasn't the side of my scientific...

    Panoramic PTZ

    Yes... I have tripwires setup for HUMAN auto-tracking on the PTZ. Works great. I know there is a way for the 180camera's to have tripwires and then the PTZ to move... haven't tried to figure that part out yet.

    Panoramic PTZ

    Granted... good external lighting due to being in business plaza. I have one of these models for home, but not yet setup. And I would not consider this a MAIN camera to rely on solo on a side of the house. Night time at a distant (DORI) I would not expect to be all that great. The 180 + PTZ...

    BI6 and Home Assistant - server_all_cameras gone

    Sidenote question: how is the Blue Iris integration into Home Assistant? suitable for use? cool? aweful? Didn't know 1 existed. I know of the Dahua individual camera integration, but not the Blue Iris.

    Zooz ZSE70 Outdoor Motion Sensor

    I have the Dahua wireless motion camera spotlight in my driveway. Previous was a high lumen 110vac LED motion light that I required for past security events to light up the neighborhood, enough to blind my neighbors at 3am :) Wanted a lower lumen motion light, so bought the Dahua one with...

    Immigration or Invasion?

    And this is why I backed off IPCT for months in the last couple years. The vitriol politics mentioned on this website disgusts me. I did not become a member just to be inundated with forum political opinion messaging from either the left or the right. I get enough of the fire branding on TV news...

    Need help with new networks install.

    Adding to the above wise suggestions... If you decide to pull fiber, ALSO pull copper and ALSO a pull string for future use. The copper could be used to install PIR alarm boxes, DC related objects (IR blaster, 24vdc LED lighting, etc). Also could be backup to the fiber. Heck, I would still pull...

    Advice on selection and position of new cameras

    I was in a rush to install cameras. 1 camera I really wanted was to point down the entry way about 200' distant. I am lucky in that there is only 1 way onto my property (unless someone jumps fences with dogs & humans in the area). I specifically installed a lamp post 50' distant down my...

    PTZ only not working in Blue Iris

    oh...so it is the PTZ controls in BI that do not work. I had same issue with another generic PTZ camera. Controls were funky. Tried different protocols but no go.
