    love it thanks! Actually have an Asus router that I haven’t used in a while so maybe I’ll set up a dedicated network just for the cameras using that router and the VPN

    So then basically I’ll have to be on the VPN on my phone in order to access the cameras right? I subscribe to private internet access maybe I can use it?

    Ok I’m going for the 3241. To be honest it’s also incredibly confusing navigating the different model numbers and the weird brand names. Everyone talks about Dahua but don’t actually find Dahua brand cameras anywhere. Crazy. https://store.ipcamtalk.com/shop/2mp-varifocal/

    OK - would you recommend something comparable in price? If there is nothing comparable in price, I'll give this a go and see how I like it. I'm not willing to make a big investment here until I can try out the blue iris, PC setup, etc.

    Correct. I'm actually looking at the various options now, I think I'm going to start with this Amcrest camera and a PoE+ switch, set it up with Blue Iris just for my front door camera while leaving the zmodo operational for everything else, and see how that goes...

    Sorry I had missed this... It's a PoE system in that it uses their proprietary switch and cabling, and I did not have to run dedicated power to the cameras.

    Appreciate all the info. A couple followup questions... Any idea if my Zmodo cams could be used with Blue Iris? I'm assuming they probably only work with proprietary Zmodo software. This would be huge because I could do this in stages - install / tweak Blue Iris, add one or two new cameras...

    Planning to upgrade my home Zmodo 14 camera system... need a little guidance

    Have a single story house that I wired up with a Zmodo PoE system 4 years ago. Zmodo strikes me as a crappy little brand, but I was on a budget and liked that it was PoE and honestly it's served me pretty well. The cameras are starting to fail one by one, and the image quality is basically...
