Looks like i just solved the problem, so for anyone else .. here it is. On the PC, inside BI, Web Server, inside the section "Local, internal (LAN) access, is something called Adaptors. The "unable to reach server" problem was b/c the dropdown was already (wrongly) set to an IP of a virtual...

I love Blue Iris on my PC, but I'm having issues with the Android mobile app Unable to connect. Unable to reach server if it matters, the app was downloaded in Sept 2020 Here's what I tried .. BI mobile, entered first/last five of key BI mobile, LAN ip and port matches the BI Settings on...

I'm still torn on what would be best for her

You guys are awesome! Thank you. I guess the consensus is even if one goes with an NVR, buy the NVR separate so that one can choose which cameras to use. For the record, as mentioned, I have Blue Iris on my home setup and love it. If I were building another system for me, it would most...

I've heard a couple others mention a PC with VMS .. is a VMS same as a Virtual Machine?

I'm researching for a friend, and was all set to recommend a PC with Blue Iris, and X number of cameras wired with POE. But the more I think about her needs, the more I wonder if an NVR system would make a better choice. Give the needs below, what NVR package type setup would you recommend...

Great answer. That's the direction in which i was leaning (PC + BI + cams). Your insight on cameras was especially helpful. Thank you.

What hardware would you guys suggest for a landscaping & nursery small business setup? Like for example, (PC + Blue Iris + X number of cams) or (a kit or package with some recording device plus X number of cams)? I'm in the process of "doing my homework", but thought you all would have some...

Very helpful suggestions; thank you.

It seems my question is a moot point. The purpose of this project is general "surveillance and security", so it sounds like wiring it up is the way to go. That said, I'm thinking a dedicated PC w/ BlueIris, X number of cams, a router, a switch, and all connected with Ethernet. Any objections...

Hello All, How do I setup multiple (4 ish) Amcrest Wifi IP cameras with BlueIris (BI) using a router (if needed), a dedicated PC, and Wifi only (ie, no internet)? For now, assume all cams will be located on the exterior of a small building. After the initial setup, i'll address any security...
