    NVR set forget easy interface for 8 POE IP cameras home use - Looking for recommendations

    Thanks, was looking and I don't think he needs to more robust features or 2HDD. Think the EmpireTech NV41AI-8P-4KH should work as i think those are the major differences, unless i'm missing something.

    Continues to happen, Not sure what's up w/ BI going to put in a ticket as this should run as service without issues regardless of using a Microsoft account (as admin) to loggon. Is there any other way to force it to run as Service since within BI not working?

    Can't logon after updating Startup in BI. "Blue Iris User" Popup window (see pics)

    I'm unable to login at all to BI. You mean create a local user account, because I don't have one on my BI PC. I did that before, but then I'm unable to Remote Desktop in. Why does BI even have that option if I can't loggon using it...

    Best Practices [mid-level/DIY] for recorded video security/backup/location

    This is great idea, I'll have to confirm they have MicroSD card slots they're fairly old (cmip3042) then climb up back to my cameras on the eves of the house though. But very good idea - and assuming you can pull the video from the camera SD card remotely.

    Best Practices [mid-level/DIY] for recorded video security/backup/location

    I'm running BI at home off a PC and have an internal drive capturing all the videos. I'm always an over thinker and wanted to know if there is a somewhat mid-level/range method to further backup the videos just in case of a break-in. I have my CPU in the basement in the corner, but it's not...

    Blue Iris setup using Tailscale or similar

    AHH OKAY.. I was saying I didn't want to open/forward ports so I switched to Tailscale, if i didn't use tailscale or nothing, i would have to open/forward port for BI to work from the outside, correct? And not using tailscale - home LAN/Network, she basically just connects the way you said but...

    Blue Iris setup using Tailscale or similar

    I was hoping to not open/forward Ports , hence using tailscale for more security. But i guess that will prohibit me giving temporary access to someone unless they use tailscale.
