    Strange Problem after lightening strike

    There was a discrepancy in subnet. I fixed that and uninstalled and reinstalled and its working fine now. Lightening does strange things though. Had to uninstall and reinstall the wifi cameras, and three nest smoke alarms. Once again thanks for your help! I could not survive these camera...

    Strange Problem after lightening strike

    Had a bad lightening strike a week or so ago and it tripped out a battery backup/surge protector. The surge protector reset but unfortunately it took out a ethernet switch. I have replaced the POE switch and I can log into the camera (Amcrest) thru the Amcrest UI setup page. The problem is...

    Schedule/Profile set up

    I am trying to set up blue iris so that it does not record and send out alerts during certain hours of the day. But I also want the video stream to be visible online during these times. It seems like I have seen a "continue to stream" check box somewhere but I cant find it now. Would...

    Blue iris evaluation version

    I am currently running BI 5.7.7.18 (06/28/2023). Renewed my yearly support plan back in February. Now all of a sudden I see "Blue Iris Evaluation Version" on all cameras and it says my subscription expired on 02/02/23. I see some older post about this from back in 2019. Has anyone else had...

    Issue with camera preset on profile change.

    I have one camera set to change preset from 1 to 2 upon the away profile which is triggered when I am outside the geofence. The camera moves to preset 2 but will not hold. After about 5-10 seconds, it returns to preset 1 even though the schedules shows away (Outside Geofence). Any Ideas what...

    Blue Iris, Zerotier, and Geofencing

    Hello, I just recently install Zero Tier as suggested by IPCam and it seems to be working great. I can view my cameras from outside the lan, most of the time without issue. At times though the apps appear to be turning themselves off on their on. The only real issue I am having is that...

    Geofencing

    OK Thanks, I will do some research on the VPN's, because that went right over my head. I know VPN is Virtual Private Network, you lost on the open part. Do you recommend a separate computer/network to run BI on? I have seen on youtube that some people run theirs on a separate computer from...

    Geofencing

    You are probably right but I have always believed you needed a static IP address to run blue iris. I use a Ubiquiti Dream Machine, which is new, and I have noticed it has a different IP (in the 100 range for WAN) and everything else seems to be in the 192 range. When I switched from ATT uverse...

    Geofencing

    Hello, I just switched over to fiber optics for internet and my ISP does not provide static IP addresses. I know BI suggest using NGROK but I currently use Zero Tier to connect to the BI server from outside the geofence. I have my IPhone geofence set up using my current location, not server...

    Blue Iris connection problem

    Yes I can see them on lan and its odd because I get sound notifications on my phone outside of the lan, just can't see camera's. I don't I am paying for the static ip address, if I am he did not say. I am not a paid member on IP cam talk but I am a member. My IT/WIFI tech said he had checked...

    Blue Iris connection problem

    I have had a blue iris system for several years using AT&T as my ISP with speeds less than 20 mps. Recently got fiber optics thru Point Broad Band, 300 Mps which is great. Only problem is they do not offer a static IP address in my area so now blue iris is not going out to the web. I had a...

    How to remove account from IPhone

    No, they are both the same, coming from the same server. They both work so when I open the app, I can't select the forget server fast enough to remove it.

    How to remove account from IPhone

    I recently purchased a new Iphone and I used the bar code in the blue iris program to connect it up with BI. Now I have two BI accounts on my BI app on the phone. When you click on the house in the BI App on the phone, I have two of the same thing. Need to get rid of one of them. How do you...

    Alert setting problem

    I have three cameras that are set to play a sound wave over the BI server computer when the cameras are triggered.

    Cameras loosing signal and BI SMS text not working

    I set up an app password and tried to copy it to the password box in BI under email settings but it would not let me paste it. Had to use the "OAuth" button which generated a token. I followed their instructions and the test passed. Do you have to use the Google app password in another location?
