I asked this question a year ago and was given the suggestion of Blue Iris (commercial) and iSpy (freemium). Now I have ~1 month left on Blue Iris until I have to renew it for $69. iSpy wants $99 /year for viewing more than one camera. I have tried YAWCAM, but it will not work for all of the cameras I have, and I have tried Contacam, which again wants a donation to use it for more then 14 days, and I could not get it to connect to my WiFi cameras, but it accessed the PoE's with no trouble. Can anyone suggest any other programs to try, or would I be better off paying for Blue Iris? I should add that I have the proprietary software to view the cameras, but it would require me having two programs open.

Are you able to setup PiVPN and just connect back to your lan and do a local lan view? Can the free version do free lan views? or do you even have to pay for that?

I have no idea what you are asking here!

When you said $99 for viewing more than one camera. .. you mean just to record more than one camera?

I apparently misread what it was saying:

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
