Thanks, Fenderman. You've been a big help to me before. I have the motion triggers set the same on all the cams, based on the settings of my first installed cam. I also thought of the grouping technique, but haven't yet been able to find where I set the groups up in the BI settings. I'll keep...

I have a BI setup and used to only have one Hikvision IP bullet cam running covering my driveway. Recently, I added 2 more cams identical to the first for additional coverage of my driveway and front yard. I'm noticing that when one of my driveway cams is triggered by motion, the other cam...

Thanks to fenderman, problem solved. The problem was I wasn't including the port number in the external IP address in the BI mobile app. Now everything works like magic. This is why I love these forums.

I'm open to that, but timing is going to be an issue. I'm in Dallas or CDT, and have to head out to a jobsite until around 10 pm. I work a lot of nights, hence my need for surveillance cams and the ability to watch things remotely. Let me know if that's too late or maybe we can plan one evening...

So today I tried using port 8000 and opened it up in both the firewall tab and Ports and Sytem Services tabs. Changed the settings on the AT&T router to open 8000 as well and set the webserver in BI to 8000. Did a open port check with canyouseeme and got the green light. But still can't get my...

Tried creating new user, made it admin, made it non-admin, checked and rechecked password...still nothing. Can't believe I'm so close and hitting a wall on something that should be among the easiest things to do.

I've double checked IP address in app and it's correct.

I tried using port 8500 and tested with canyouseeme.org. With Mcafee on it could not see my ip, but with Mcafee off it could. However, the BI app still won't connect with Mcafee on or off. If i return the port settings to 80, I can connect via local wifi but not with wifi off and using data...

When the ports were set to 80-81, I was able to connect from my Android phone only when wifi was enabled. When I turned wifi off on my phone i got the unable to connect to server message. I can't get connection either way with ports set to 8585-8586. Just tried with Mcafee turned off and still nada.

You mean this?

Let me know if I got your request right

I changed the port to 8585 on the router firewall and the global range to 8585-8586 and then changed the webserver settings in BI to match but still can't get app to connect. Also got negative response from canyouseeme.org. Any other ideas?

Okay. I ended up getting a Hikvision bullet cam and finally have an operational security system! Still a few kinks to work out, but once you get a camera working, Bi is an awesome tool. I'm still having remote connection issues. I have At&T uverse. I set a static IP for my video server and...

Ok. I returned the Swann cams to my friend, but now I'm thinking I gave in too fast. I had the IP address figured out but it kept saying 404 error, no stream found. Should I have tried different ports? I can't find the port settings anywhere and everytime I ask Swann tech support I get the blank...
