[2425.48 --> 2425.72] Cheers. |
[2425.98 --> 2426.58] Love the show. |
[2427.00 --> 2430.16] Well, let me just fire up notes.jupiterbroadcasting.com |
[2430.16 --> 2434.64] and type in blue iris because that's going to be my recommendation. |
[2434.92 --> 2437.34] We've got a couple of episodes where we've talked about it in the past. |
[2437.34 --> 2441.46] Episode 43, episode 28, 36. |
[2442.42 --> 2443.94] Now, we've talked about it quite a few times. |
[2444.64 --> 2449.64] The too long didn't listen, though, is Blue Iris is a Windows app. |
[2449.82 --> 2454.46] So you're going to want to have some kind of a system that has a quick sync enabled CPU. |
[2455.12 --> 2460.74] So something like the HP 290 Slim box, which you can pick up off eBay for about $130 |
[2460.74 --> 2462.84] at the time of recording. |
[2463.20 --> 2467.04] That has an 8th gen Intel CPU in it, which has quick sync. |
[2467.34 --> 2468.98] You install Windows on there. |
[2469.30 --> 2469.94] Yes, I know. |
[2470.06 --> 2470.68] Sorry, Windows. |
[2471.32 --> 2473.24] And then Blue Iris on top of that. |
[2473.82 --> 2480.30] And then what you will need to power the hardware is a PoE switch connected to PoE cameras. |
[2480.64 --> 2485.96] And you can usually get those for anywhere from $10 or $20 from Alibaba |
[2485.96 --> 2491.02] all the way up to $300, $400 each if you want to buy a Unify gear. |
[2491.02 --> 2496.22] What I tend to stick with is the price point of around $50 a camera unless I absolutely |
[2496.22 --> 2497.22] need 4K. |
[2497.80 --> 2499.62] And then it's about $100 a camera. |
[2500.30 --> 2502.14] But it's not terribly expected. |
[2502.22 --> 2503.90] The cameras are the cheap part, essentially. |
[2504.54 --> 2509.28] Running Ethernet is going to be something of a consideration because that's how the cameras |
[2509.28 --> 2510.00] get their power. |
[2510.86 --> 2515.76] And then also you might want to upgrade a couple of things in the HP box I recommended. |
[2515.76 --> 2520.06] It comes, I think, the one on eBay with a 500 gig spinning drive, for example. |
[2520.56 --> 2522.22] So you might want an SSD for that as well. |
[2522.98 --> 2524.62] But that's a pretty solid setup. |
[2524.72 --> 2527.20] And there are lots of guides on YouTube on how to set up Blue Iris. |
[2528.00 --> 2532.88] And recently, they've got some really cool features in there with deep stack to do object |
[2532.88 --> 2534.36] detection and that kind of stuff. |
[2534.52 --> 2536.42] So Blue Iris gets my vote. |
[2536.96 --> 2537.02] Right. |
[2537.08 --> 2540.78] And those cameras going over Ethernet are going to be a rock solid setup. |
[2540.78 --> 2548.02] And I think that's really key is a lot of the cloud solutions are all Wi-Fi cameras. |
[2548.26 --> 2550.64] And Wi-Fi cameras are going to work 90% of the time. |
[2551.48 --> 2554.98] But wired cameras are going to work 100% until there's like a hardware failure. |
[2555.24 --> 2559.78] Now with Blue Iris, Alex, because I'm unfamiliar with it, is there a remote viewing component so |
[2559.78 --> 2561.30] we could pull it up on a mobile device? |
[2561.80 --> 2562.50] It's so cool. |
[2562.98 --> 2569.98] There's an app for all the major mobile platforms as well as a web browser, like a web interface. |
[2569.98 --> 2575.92] So I can just type the URL of my server, which happens to go through my traffic reverse |
[2575.92 --> 2576.28] proxy. |
[2577.18 --> 2580.98] And straight away, I'm thrown into a web interface that is HTML5. |
[2581.34 --> 2584.24] And I can see all six of my cameras, boom, right there. |
[2584.34 --> 2591.58] So if I hear a noise or the doorbell goes or something like that, I just type in bi.mydomain.com |
[2591.58 --> 2593.90] and boom, straight in a browser. |
[2594.12 --> 2594.70] I'm good to go. |
[2595.12 --> 2598.78] And that's another thing about the local wired systems is those camera feeds are going to |
[2598.78 --> 2599.58] come up a lot quicker. |
[2599.58 --> 2602.58] The cloud-based systems are going to have to connect to the service first. |
[2602.88 --> 2606.62] There's usually somewhere like on a good day, a three-second delay. |
[2606.74 --> 2608.22] Sometimes it can be a 30-second delay. |
[2608.68 --> 2609.60] I don't like it. |
[2609.94 --> 2613.60] Now, I normally would sit here and I'd tell you about my Wyze system. |
[2613.92 --> 2617.88] I have the WYZE cams that are going into a Shinobi box. |
[2617.88 --> 2623.30] But I don't love the solution because the cameras are not super reliable. |
[2623.30 --> 2627.84] And so I would not recommend them for a security system like what you have here. |
[2627.98 --> 2632.90] I have it for we're off grid somewhere and we come back and somebody's broken into our |
[2632.90 --> 2633.20] rig. |
[2633.20 --> 2635.58] I want to have a good shot that I've caught something on camera. |
[2635.70 --> 2637.30] That's really what I have my system for. |
[2637.62 --> 2642.02] But I don't know if I would trust it to run 24-7 because they're Wi-Fi cameras. |
[2642.32 --> 2645.08] They're doing it over RTMP or RTSP. |
[2645.26 --> 2646.88] It's just not super reliable. |
[2647.50 --> 2650.94] Now, I've never used the next system I'm about to talk about. |
[2650.98 --> 2652.70] So I would not normally recommend it. |
[2652.70 --> 2658.18] However, I have gotten a couple of emails in people have said that if you want a system |
[2658.18 --> 2663.72] that's kind of like a Midway system, I have heard that the Arlo camera system is good for |
[2663.72 --> 2664.50] that kind of thing. |
[2664.72 --> 2668.00] You can get it like on Amazon and like a three to six camera kit. |
[2668.36 --> 2672.24] And what's kind of different about this is it has a base station unit that the cameras |
[2672.24 --> 2674.06] connect back to locally on your LAN. |
[2674.28 --> 2675.84] And that's where the video is stored. |
[2676.50 --> 2679.18] And so that does seem compelling to me. |
[2679.50 --> 2682.14] And I guess it has a pretty flexible setup system. |
[2682.14 --> 2688.34] And you can get a three camera kit for 385 bucks off of Amazon when it's not on sale. |
[2688.96 --> 2693.22] And I don't know how great it is, but the people who've written into the show seem to |
[2693.22 --> 2693.66] really like it. |
[2693.70 --> 2695.64] The cameras seem to work indoors and outdoors. |
[2695.84 --> 2696.66] Never tested it myself. |
[2696.80 --> 2702.68] But if I had 385 bucks to burn, I may give this a go one day because I do like the idea |
[2702.68 --> 2704.74] of making this as much of an appliance as I can. |
[2704.78 --> 2709.04] And I am not really in a situation to run Ethernet and do PoE. |
[2709.04 --> 2712.82] Now, I do have a couple of those Wyze cameras plugged into Blue Iris as well. |
[2713.38 --> 2719.30] One thing of note, though, is that the new V3 cameras don't support the RTSP firmware yet. |
[2719.50 --> 2728.18] So if you're thinking about getting those cheap $20, $25 Wyze Cam V2 cameras, just be aware |
[2728.18 --> 2729.76] you'll need to put a custom firmware on there. |
[2729.98 --> 2730.12] Yeah. |
[2730.12 --> 2731.78] My advice would be don't do Wyze right now. |
[2732.18 --> 2737.10] The Wyze 2 is just not fast enough to do the feed reliably. |
[2737.80 --> 2742.34] And the V3, while it has a faster processor and better optics, doesn't have the firmware |
[2742.34 --> 2743.16] yet, like you were saying. |
[2743.62 --> 2747.82] And I would hold off on purchasing a Wyze camera system until then, because what I like |
[2747.82 --> 2750.82] to do is bring all those feeds back into Shinobi running on my Raspberry Pi. |
[2750.82 --> 2755.34] But with the V2 Wises, they drop off several times an hour right now. |
[2755.56 --> 2756.70] It's no good. |
[2756.94 --> 2757.58] There's gaps. |
