One cam watches the front door/foyer from the inside.

I'm running BI on dedicated Dell Computer (an old GX260 with 2 gig of RAM).

Often 'auto awesome' is applied too! (motion gifs created from pics and videos!) Luckily, my ISP doesn't count uploads to my data cap. The best part is that they are automatically sorted into days.

I've configured BI to delete snapshots and AVIs after seven days, but Google+ Auto Backup has uploaded copies to the cloud for my permanent record. BI can be configure to generate short clips. With my Google account, I get unlimited storage for jpgs and AVIs less then 15 minutes. Vera triggers my 3 FOSCAMs to turn off infrared LEDSĪll captured snapshots and AVIs by BI are automatically upload to the cloud via Google+ Auto Backup. Vera triggers BI to stop monitor/record motion after a 5 min delay post disarm. Vera triggers my 3 FOSCAMs to activate Infrared Lighting when Armed Away or Armed Stay Vera triggers BI to monitor/record motion when my home is Armed Away or Armed Stay I'm extremely happy with the above combination as I've been able to achieve all that I've wanted for integrated video surveillance. Vera & Blue Iris (BI) & FOSCAM cameras & Google+ Auto Backup has been a potent combination.
