Re: Anyone using OpnSense routers and VLANs for their camera network?

I think there is only a restriction from Tapatalk after doing some tests a year or two ago. Are you using that ? No, from the web page I cannot post twice in like 60 or 120 seconds. Oh, and the simplest way to isolate those pesky cameras from the mothership is to use a second NIC. 10.0.0.1: Works a...

Re: Anyone using OpnSense routers and VLANs for their camera network?

Rather than dual post, here is a reddit thread where I am asking for help over there...

Uhg, can someone please reduce the timer for allowing posting consecutive posts. This restriction seems a little overly cautious.

Anyone using OpnSense routers and VLANs for their camera network?

I'm trying to isolate my cameras in a vlan and am having some trouble. Not sure if it is the way I defined the ports on my managed switch or if it is in my vlan definition on my OpnSense router. I can get into the details and post some of my config below. If anyone spots my error I would be very app...

Re: Protectli

My take is that an Intel with onboard iGPU and some compute cores should be good. My machine (a HP ProDesk 600 G5 Mini - i7-9700T 8 core, 16GB DDR4) with four cameras 24x7 recording substreams and switching to main stream on events uses 36% of 16GB ram. It uses practically zero cpu. [oops, forgot my...

Re: Is Blue Iris the best option for me?

I saw a funny youtube video tutorial from a dude showing how easy it was to run lines in the attic. He was lying down in a nice clean attic and drilling some holes, etc. I was like LoL.... where is all the dusty blown-in insultation getting stuck to every inch of your sweat covered stinky body??? So...

Maybe someone has the link to the user database that shows systems with the CPU and memory and how many pixels/sec they are processing and can share it here.

Re: Is Blue Iris the best option for me?

The windows crashing myth is greatly exaggerated. Doing a clean install of W11 and installing BI is perfectly stable (assuming you don't do upgrades the day they come available :-) ) Initial setup is really not that bad at all but there are a lot of options that grant features necessarily requiring ...

No. One of the early tutorials I saw suggested that but I am not sure it was required.

Re: LPR camera

I am way behind on paying attention here and just pop in once in a while. From my old knowledge there needs to be at least connected zones and preferably a square or two of overlap. That gap between middle and right could mess up and B-C crossings.
