August 12, 20169 yr Is there a docker out there that enables IP camera management? Lets you copy to a NAS, etc...all the goodies?
August 13, 20169 yr Author Have you tried searching for camera within CA? Yes, I did. I saw one beta (WIP) and one other one called Zoneminder. And the only reason I asked I was surprised there weren't more, so I was just double checking with the community.
August 13, 20169 yr Author Check out Zoneminder Docker Thank you. I'm currently going through some cameras to see which manufacture I like the best. Surprisingly I bought an Amcrest PTZ model on Amazon, hooked it into Blue Iris ( which is a paid camera managment software that I may buy for camera management ) and the setup worked pretty good. Very surprised on the camera quality, speed and options.
August 13, 20169 yr Having been through Zoneminder, a couple of dedicated boxes systems, and Blue Iris, I advise installing Blue Iris. Inexpensive software, and really, really great. Have mine installed on Windows Server VM.

August 17, 20169 yr Having been through Zoneminder, a couple of dedicated boxes systems, and Blue Iris, I advise installing Blue Iris. Inexpensive software, and really, really great. Have mine installed on Windows Server VM. What kind of resources do you have dedicated to the VM? Are you using your data store for storage? Something external? Why do you think it's a better solution than something dedicated? Thanks.. Just trying to decide which path to take.
August 17, 20169 yr I'm running blue iris on a vm with 2 cores (of 5960x) and 2gb memory on Windows 10. 25% cpu usage when recording a single 3mp camera Love the software and the mobile app is great for when your out. I use it all the time

I'd like to make a Windows VM for it but I don't have any Windows 7/10 keys available. Windows should just give away their OS full for consumers.

August 25, 20169 yr Have you checked out Ubiquiti cameras? I'm using their UniFi gear along with their cameras and I love it.
August 26, 20169 yr Author The demo of Blue Iris and one of their $100 Amcrest cameras has been working out pretty good. Been testing it for a little bit. The camera prices are good and the current Amcrest I'm using now has an excellent picture. Most likely a couple bullet cameras installed in the front and one PTZ motion detection one in the back.

I use it all the time I tried doing this and have no video on my VM using server 2016. Works just fine on my Windows 10 desktop. Any suggestions? Am I missing a codec? I'm using rdp to connect and install.
June 4, 20179 yr Do you mean no video in the blue iris preview? It has a setting that can limit or even disable video when it detects rdp. I'm not sure which setting section it's in but I had to set it not to limit the video to get a decent video feed Jamie
