    Tailscale and Blue Iris help please.

    Thanks for all the help, finally able to try it today when waiting at the Vets! With Tailscale connected it was just slightly faster connecting to U13 than using Port Forwarding. I assume that I should only connect Tailscale when I need to use it or it's going to eat my data allowance.

    Tailscale and Blue Iris help please.

    I think I have it working but because the phone signal strength where I live is not that good I'll try again tomorrow when I'm out. What I did was use the PC Tailscale IP address with the Blue Iris Port Number in my browser and not the LAN address listed in Blue Iris (which is what I was...

    Tailscale and Blue Iris help please.

    Thanks for help. I've had to deal with family life of the last few days and only just got back to this. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I switched off WiFi to ensure I was using my data connection simulating being away from home. Tried with a 4G and a G signal. Tailscale is showing as connected...

    Tailscale and Blue Iris help please.

    I currently use Port Forwarding to view Blue Iris remotely. I have a fixed IP address from my current internet provider which I purchased for a one off fee of £5. It's simple to use but not the most secure way of remote viewing. I'm looking at changing my internet provider for a faster and...

    Tailscale and Blue Iris help please.

    I'm completely baffled with how to get this to work. I've searched on here and watched lots of video's on Youtube but my 70 year brain just doesn't understand the terminology used in most of them. I've used a fixed IP for remote use of U13 ever since I got Blue Iris and that I understand but...

    Registration & Backups Problems

    Today I've had quite a few problems with Version 4 which I've had for 5 years. Outstanding is this major one. Because of all the problems I've had today I thought I'd try a restart of Blue Iris. Shut down and reopened to find my registration had disappeared and I was back on the trial version...

    A New Doorbell

    I've had the Lorex version of this doorbell since late June this year. The installation did cause me a lot of problems as I'm in the UK (bought from Amazon US). We use lower voltages in Europe for existing doorbells so getting an appropriate transformer did cause a few headaches as did getting...

    Lorex 2K Doorbell and Blue Iris help please.

    I've bought one of these and the new Alexa Show 8 version 2, its a bit of a saga and I need some help. Over the last year the wife and I have used our summerhouse at the bottom of the garden but there we cannot hear the front doorbell. I've been waiting for a video doorbell that would work...

    Dissed by BI?

    Again another one who only bought BI because of this forum and the help I've received. This forum is the reason I bought all my Dehua cameras direct from Andy and the excellent service he gave this novice when I hit a problem.

    IPC-T5241H-AS-PV DOA?

    Another Update. Andy suggested that I try the English version of the config tools. I reset the camera back to factory default, initialised and tried with the English version which he provided a link to. However no cigar, the English version under tools does not have as many menu options as the...

    IPC-T5241H-AS-PV DOA?

    Update. I've received the replacement license file from Andy much quicker than I expected, however it doesn't work. Assuming that I've followed the config tool instructions correctly I do not get the green tick to show that's its complete, I get an orange warning triangle. I assume that this...

    IPC-T5241H-AS-PV DOA?

    @SkyLake @aristobrat Thanks for the link and suggestions, email sent. I'm a bit annoyed that this camera is being sent out with a known fault. Everything I've had from Andy before has just worked, well they have after I found out how to make them work via lots of pretty pictures from the web...

    IPC-T5241H-AS-PV DOA?

    I've just purchased one of these direct from Andy to add to my existing Dahua & Blue Iris setup. All other cameras direct from Andy. If I just initialise the camera and set it up through BI as just another camera its works ish! more on this later. However when I set up the Smart Plan IVS it all...
