Blue Iris UI3
@bp2008 Is it worth setting up a HTTPS reverse proxy to use WebCodecs? Does it have advantages over the HTML5 player? Let's Encrypt can be used to automatically issue and renew certificates for internal systems (just use a DNS challenge instead of a HTTP challenge), so getting the certificate... -

H.264 vs H264H vs H.265 encoding
You can go either way. In theory, with H.265 you can either get similar image quality with a lower bitrate compared to H.264, or higher quality at the same bitrate as you were using before. H.264 uses macroblocks but H.265 uses coding tree units (CTUs) instead, which are conceptually similar...- Daniel15

Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)
It's not really different to WireGuard in terms of how it operates though, is it? I agree with you about ease of use, but WireGuard is similar in that it's also peer-to-peer rather than client-server (WireGuard peers have a list of other peers they can connect to, rather than a single central... -

Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)
You can use other VPNs similarly to ZeroTier. I use WireGuard instead of ZeroTier and it shares some of the same traits, just not with a fancy UI like ZeroTier (on the other hand, WireGuard doesn't rely on third-party services by default) :) -

Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)
It'd be useful to have the option for the experienced users that can configure it, but I definitely understand that it'd be lower priority. I agree with you that it definitely makes setup trickier for the average user. Let's Encrypt has made it a lot easier than it used to be, though! Free... -

Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)
Oh! I didn't know this. There's some code always running in the background when using notifications, true. It's not the entire webapp though - it's just enough code to render the notifications properly. Every notification system needs a constant connection so that the server can push... -

Ready to buy BI license but have a concern (mobile app reviews)
I've already got Pushover for various other notifications, so it's good to know I can use it for BI too. They should really add notifications to the web app. Most modern web apps have notifications - even this forum does. I know iOS devices don't support this well, but it works well on pretty... -

FCC to ban sales of some Chinese video products

FCC to ban sales of some Chinese video products
Thank you for clarifying - I appreciate it! So I guess all the news articles are incorrect? For example I just saw one from The Verge that said something similar to what I said (which I now understand is probably incorrect)... -

What high spec server would you choose for 50 cameras?
If you're planning a brand new network for a larger business / office and are thinking of 10Gbps, for the backbone / core switches I'd suggest using fiber with SFP+ modules if possible. For 10Gbps, fiber uses far less power (around 0.4-0.8W per port compared to 4-5W per port for copper... -

Can you please link to a source that says this? I've seen a lot of conflicting information. -

FCC to ban sales of some Chinese video products
That's not what the first post says: Not sure if Dahua or Hikvision make any wifi products (like wireless doorbells), but my understanding is that if the FCC is no longer going to certify their hardware, it means that new products can't legally connect to any wifi networks in the USA. I could... -

NVR vs Blue Iris
Most switches switch at line rate, meaning you can use the full capacity of all ports at the same time, so the switching capacity will always be lower for the slower ports. For example, the TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE has 16 gigabit Ethernet ports and two gigabit SFP ports - 18 ports in total. If you...- Daniel15

NVR vs Blue Iris
There's some older models that have 100Mbps ports with one or two Gigabit uplinks, similar to how many switches these days have 1Gbps ports with 10Gbps SFP+ uplink. They're definitely outdated though.- Daniel15

NVR vs Blue Iris
TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE is pretty good. Has a very good PoE budget (192W in total, up to 30W per port). It works fine standalone, but it's quite wide as it's designed to be rack mounted. Even though it's fine for cameras, I wouldn't get a 100Mbps (or "10/100") switch. Get at least Gigabit as it's...- Daniel15

The IPC-T5442T-ZE, or the IPC-T5442TM-AS? I'm looking to get some of those too, but I'm still new to all of this. I've been doing a lot of reading of this forum.- Daniel15
