    VPN, no-ip, and iPhone remote access

    Hello. I have a VPN set-up on my router which works fine for accessing Blue Iris when I log into the VPN from outside the home. Trouble is that the iPhone closes the VPN connection after some time. And I would like to get push notifications through Blue Iris, which of course would not work once...

    Different motion settings for different zones

    Hello. I’m wondering if there’s a way on the same camera to have different motion settings in terms of sensitivity for different zones, say zone A and C? For example, I want zone C to be less sensitive than zone A.

    Smartthings automation

    I'm sure this has been asked before. I'm a fairly novice BI user and I also have several items connected to Smartthings, e.g., lights. I want to trigger some lights when a camera senses motion. For a while, BI Fusion (I believe it was) worked for me. I integrated that coding into Smartthings...

    Change address of UI3?

    Right now BI5 is randomly picking 192.168.1.20:81 as the local UI3 address. How can I change that to say 201 instead of 20? I can't seem to edit the entry on the webserver tab in Settings. Thanks!

    User account control

    I know it's been asked before but I'm not following 100%. I'm the only admin on a PC and I want to kick-off BI5 sometimes without being prompted "This software wants to make changes..." . Is there an easy way to do this? My old installation (new desktop now) didn't have that "issue". For now...

    Need help with DDNS

    Hi - I have Comast and since they sometimes change IPs, I've set up an account with no-ip so I can "name" the ip address. When I look at the BI iPhone app, I'm not sure what to put in for the WAN? Right now it defaults to the Comcast numerical IP. How can I put in the alpha name? Also, I have a...

    Replacing xps 8930

    Hi - have a Dell xps 8930 and it runs great with about 10 cameras. However, it just gave up the ghost and so I’d appreciate your thoughts on some key features I should look for in a replacement. I’m hoping to spend under 1000 if possible and hopefully still get good overall performance.

    Order of cams?

    I can edit the BI screen to re-arrange the Cams. However, I have a Group called Group A let's say, and I view those Cams on an iPad via UI3. The cams on the iPad don't follow the order of cams on BI desktop computer. How can I re-arrange the cameras showing up on the iPad?

    BI has up to 40 presets. I only need sat 5 for a camera, with autocycle. So I never want to go to preset 6, 7, etc. but no matter what I do I can’t get BI to stop calling all 40 presets. Help please?

    Why use a substream?

    Why would you use a substream? I'm just a homeowner and I like seeing my cams + recording when there's motion. Do I really need my IP cameras sending out a sub-stream?

    External access to "webstream"

    Without using Webcam settings, since I have a permanent host name ("keep alive"), e.g., hostexample.ddns.net that maps to my Comcast IP address, how can I access the UI3 and/or a specific camera? Of course with a username + password as well. Not sure what the URL would be in that case. Thanks!!!

Ideally, I'd like BI, when it sense motion in the garage for example, to turn on a light switch through smart things. I'm a...

    Record all but alert some

    Hi - is there a way in BI to record basically any motion but only send an alert when a MAJOR motion happens? I want to record when a car drives by my front door say, but I also want an alert if someone walks up to the front door. I guess one way would be to set up "two" feeds with different...

    UPNP keeps disappearing

    Hi - I've run the BI wizard a few times and I get it to work to access video while I'm not home. But it seems the router or windows or something keeps resetting my UPNP?

    Cam connects to app but drops BI connection

    Hello, I got a Wansview W4. I can connect via RTSP in Blue Iris and often if works fine. Sometimes thought (at least once a day), BI can't see the camera, but I can confirm it's still reachable from the Wansview app. By rebooting the camera, BI picks it up again. Suggestions to fix this please...
