Looks like that worked. My BI is from last august when it expired. Deep stack was the version from feb 22 but seems like it’s the current version. Wish I knew what happened but all well. Thank you.

I hope this is the right forum. So my system has been just fine since install. Recently added a 4th camera about a month ago and everything worked fine. A few days ago, I noticed I wasn’t getting push alerts. So I checked and there was no alerts in BI at all. The only solution I could find was...

Oh no Better prepare my wife now… I’m looking at a ptz right now plus could use another 5442

would you suggest I just move the 2mp by our front door and get a different camera for the driveway? I like the 4K a lot and was reading all the posts. Howbright Are theLEDs? I know I sounds funny butflood light brightness is too bright as it pointsright into the neighbors bedroom window lol.

So I have the 5442t (4mp 1/1.8”) and a ipc-T3241T-ZAS (2mp 1/2.8”). Both overlook the driveway and I would like to use one more of the overview and the other slightly zoomed down the driveway as people walk up. I understand the 2mp requires less light comparably zoomed In at the same focal...

I feel like the lights would act as a good deterrent as well as zone control for intruders. If I were to see this on someone’s garage I would approach from the side where I didn’t see it and stay in the shadows. Move low between cars and bushes. Maybe I’m overestimating criminals lol. I would...

Can I ask a silly question or two? How much would the illumination lighting interfere with a 5442 using IR at night if they both look over a 2 car driveway from opposite corners? I could use BI to havethe cam using IR detect motion at a distance, and activate the lights thencorrect? Also when...

Got it! Thank you all, your patience and knowledge is appreciated. I ended up doing as said, started over fresh. I think two things happened. One was i was thinking that any computer that i wanted to connect to while i was out and about had to have VPN installed on it and running. Secondly...

Initially I went through the router and followed the directions (that’s where it said change the name of the TAP -just the name). Then when I was in windows trying to set up a vpn connection I didn’t have a server or address so that led me to the vpnbook. I didn’t realize windows won’t work with...

okay.. I cannot connect with BI app when i'm not on the wifi. Even without a vpn I cannot connect outside of the wifi network. I'm not using stunnel and there is no port forwarding. Do i need to start with router changes? VPN is enabled and the picture shows settings. Ive installed the...

I ll have to give it a try when I get home. I believe once the pc is connected to the vpn is when I can’t connect to BI. I’ll double check though

I’ve read the wiki and so many other things I’ think I’m confused. So my settings in bi LAN router ip WAN vpn ip Port is related to the connected vnp (443)? then in BI app input the same info? connect to same vpn on iPhone andit should connect? Thanks for you patience, I know this is simple...

I’m just having a hard time getting blue iris to communicate through the vpn. I use the remote connection wizard and it stalls at the UPNP screen. Even when I try to have the wizard open the port it won’t work. It asks if UPNP is on, which it is. It works without being connected to the vpn and I...

Okay so I've connected via an openvpn. Is there a port i should use over another that would be less likely to flag as suspicious? Google thought i was a robot when i checked my ip. My router has TAP mode-service type and a line for the port. Should i check off TCP and use port 443? Edit...

Okay gotcha. Use an openvpn vs pptp?

So if I just get the BI app I wouldn’t need the vpn… but above was a very good explination thank you so much. I was thinking the cpu the cameras are on needed thier own vpn to make them more secure?

I'm Running Windows 10 with a nitehawk r6900 Router. In windows I set up the VPN connection but i'm confused as to what i should be putting in the "server name or address" Line. On my routers advanced settings i've enabled VPN, Installed the configuration files and copied them to the...

I know this is really old thread but the BI app is also part of family sharing so $10 gets you and you family access.

didnt see you reply at first but thank you! I noticed once hit find and inspect it populated in the drop down

You the best thanks!!

I Made the plunge and am getting all set up. I got one of the above cams for now to do some testing. I'm optimizing BI and trying to get the substream settings. So I enabled it within the cameras config tool, but on BI i don't have any paths for main or sub. How can i find them?

I did see the giant list of switches but I didn’t really know what I was looking at. I need more of glossary I guess so I can understand differences etc. I think I’ve figure it out enough to get by at this point.

So I found this one on Amazon and thought it looked good to get me started. I can always purchase a second switch right? The. If one goes bad at least I have some working cams? NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE Switch (GS108PP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 123W Upgradeable

Gotcha. I’m looked on eBay and it’s mainly in the uk right now. Not a huge issue cause I’m not in a rush. I guess the main thing is I would eventually like a ptz cam so I’ll have to look out for the 802.3

Holy crap.. can I get an idiots guide to what is recommended when getting a switch? It will power 8-10 cameras. I’ve spent the last two hours combing threads finding switch’s that aren’t available anymore. 10/100? Gigabyte? I’m going crosseyed…

why a HDD and an SSD?

It was on ebay.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/303948216626

If its a matter of spending a little more to get a much better option I'm for it. I would rather overbuild than under build and have to change later. Should i look at an i9 or a newer gen? the 6th gen i7 seems to run almost the same but about $100 bucks more

Pretty straight forward question i guess? Im looking at a the following for about $200 HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF i7-4770 3.40GHz 16GB RAM 1TB HDD Windows 10 Pro I'll be running 8 cameras but ill plan for 12.
