Why not expose to internet the Amcrest NVRs? If you have descent password, it should be ok no? I was going to set up separate VLAN for security. Currently rebuilding my LAN closet.

we currently have 8 cameras. But wanted to add eventually. We are using BlueIris now. just wanted to get everything into one machine (Switch and CPU)

I have a current set up using BI running on an old PC with both Amcrest and older Hikvisions. I have a 3750 10/100 POE switch. I am looking to simplify the system. I would especially like simplicity in monitoring such as being able to view cameras remotely, or with apple devices. I was...

I had a KPAS keypad that went bad. Need to replace it or find another ELK keypad. What is best place online to find one for descent price? New or used is fine…

Everything is working fine. Thanks for your help!

Anyone?

I moved to BlueIris from zoneminder. For me it was an amazing jump. Blue iris took no time at all to set up and is much easier to manage. The added price is worth it in the end.    That said, BI is a serious program and it will take time to learn to use properly. Same goes for picking cameras...

I am starting to have problems with my KPAS keypads on my M1G. I have two in separate areas that are acting up. One of them, I enter code to turn off alarm, and it stays red as if armed. The other one has become really difficult to hit the buttons, you have to put the code in many times.   Has...
