    Pfsense on Blue Iris PC or Separate PC?

    I am curious about pfSense cpu usage. Do you really have pfSense running successfully on your BI server?

    How to modify "Onvif User"?

    Yes, and it is possible that BI was (perhaps) simultaneously trying to access the camera with the old password that caused my problem. I am not sure. In the future I will shut down BI completely before attempting a Dahua password change.

    Delete camera "admin" user accounts?

    I changed the password, but I left the username as "admin." You have to be careful on some cameras because they have two admin accounts -- as one is assigned to ONVIF usage.

    Pfsense on Blue Iris PC or Separate PC?

    Yeah, I looked around and googled and "pea size" is now considered reasonable. I thought it was less than that.

    Pfsense on Blue Iris PC or Separate PC?

    Pea sized? That seems like a huge amount, but maybe I am wrong.

    Pfsense on Blue Iris PC or Separate PC?

    Isn't a VLAN just a logical mapping of network traffic? It doesn't actually "isolate" anything? So a malicious software or devious user would not be bound by the VLAN partitions.

    Pfsense on Blue Iris PC or Separate PC?

    From my vague understanding of them I don't see the usefulness of VLAN's in a home network. I don't have any significant data flows from one device to another except for the camera sub-net. Everything else just wants access to the outside world. The annoyance to me is that a typical home router...

    Pfsense on Blue Iris PC or Separate PC?

    I have been wondering about this topic. I just got another Optiplex SFF to play with. If I load this one up with pfSense and place it between my cable modem and my WRT3200ACM router -- what would be the effect? I like the idea of being able to log network traffic and monitor bandwidth usage so...

    How to modify "Onvif User"?

    This is an old thread, but I just ran into a similar issue. I don't really understand the difference between the two accounts. I wanted to change my admin password and apparently this introduces a risk. I couldn't even log in until I ran the ConfigTool. Can someone please explain the Dahua login...

    Configuration for Internal Home access only

    I guess I don't understand what you mean by "home viewing only." Certainly you can operate the monitor on the BI server and see the cameras even if the server is not connected to the network provided by the router.

    Camera Isolation from Internet

    Uh, yeah, but I don't think it would take much cleverness to know what the gateway of the subnet is.

    Need help with remote wifi access.

    So with wifi disabled on your phone you can use the Android app to connect to your system?

    Camera Isolation from Internet

    Okay, I don't know what effect a bogus gateway address might have.

    Camera Isolation from Internet

    I had thought about entering bogus DNS addresses into my cameras but that doesn't make sense. A device would not need to use DNS to "phone home." It would have those ip addresses hard-coded.

    Alljoyn Router on Win 10 ?

    I disabled it and of course there was no effect. What I don't understand is why pc's would ever need to participate in IoT network traffic?

    Aloha from Reno Nevada

    I was curious about those Costco Lorex systems. The price seems too good to be true unless the 4k cameras are junk.

    Set up a VPN with your gateway router.

    I need some help with the time stamps on my cameras

    No, I mean it was that darn "Allow other computers to sync to this computer" checkbox. That was the problem.

    I need some help with the time stamps on my cameras

    Oh heck, it was just that checkbox. Duh.

    I need some help with the time stamps on my cameras

    I can't get this (NetTime) to work. Are you sure it is a server and not just a client? And as a server it will service multiple ports? My Hikvision cameras have a NTP test button, and they say the test fails.
