My error was in searching for "limit access by IP address".

Honestly, after reading Winn Schwartau, Kevin Mitnick, and Edward Snowden's books, I don't take that one for granted. If they want in, they will get in. No point in making it easy though.

Okay, thanks for setting me straight on this. Paranoia is how we keep things safe I suppose. LOL

What? They are minuses! I could not find documentation about these addresses being there. Cripes.

I have blocked all outbound WAN connections from all IP cameras and tightened firewall settings, as well as added authentication for LAN services.

Quite possibly, but I am not convinced it wasn't a backdoor exploit from a camera.

Port forwarding.

After some recent odd happenings on my network with IP addressing, I was forced to re-evaluate my authorized connections and DHCP reservations. In so doing, under the BI WebServer Advanced tab, I noted 3 IP addresses added to the 'Limit access by IP address' listing that I did not put there. To...

Nevertheless, it does appear to work, but I can't think of any easy way to automate it. I set up a stream using OBS Studio and it is working to bounce it back to my hub, but it's really not practical.

Already done. I don't see this as a BI platform issue by any means. Hoping for work-arounds . .

I hate relying on IFTTT for anything. Really hoping an answer or solution is out there to make use of cameras I already own. It seems silly that I would have to duplicate a camera or display to make this work without having to ping pong it through a webhook.

Yep, this is ultimately what I will end up with. Thanks for the rundown. I actually tried to do this today until I screwed something up and had to reset the ISP modem. I did not realize it until today, but it has been over 2 years since I last set it up, and going back to factory defaults seems...

Like Mikeynags said, I think I am just going to throw a real router in between my wifi router and the gateway, making it the soul DHCP server for both segments of the network. It is just going to be a pain in the ass otherwise. No hassles either if my gateway or ISP change after that.

I will preface this by saying that I can accept if I just need to find a better way to set things up, but I am not having any success getting my wifi cameras to feed into BI from a physical subnet. I have my primary ISP provided gateway setup with DHCP for everything wired directly to it with...

Sorry, I don't mean to confuse with that phrase, but I mean all of my streams are making use of it.

I appreciate the advice on that as the only way to really clean things out, but I got lucky with the reset and have a fresh BI 5 up and working with full GPU decode now. I'm very happy to see my CPU load drop by about half and room to turn some settings back up! Hard to say what was causing the...

Any ideas why this would happen with a processor that supports Quick Sync? I have an i5-6400 that shows GPU processing in task manager when I log into remote viewing, but when I enable the intel option in BI, it defaults to this crashing behavior in both BI 4 and 5. I have tried all sorts of...

Just spent 2 hours pulling my hair out over the same issue. Sometimes I REALLY HATE WINDOWS! How it ever gets reset to public just because the IP address changes is just ludicrous with being on the same LAN. That said, I'll be looking into VPN now that everything is at least working as expected...

Okay, just muddled my way to the solution: Options > Web Server > Advanced > Encoder Profiles Configure Check 'Resize output frame width x height' and adjust down to maximum required size. In my case, it was set at 1280 x 1024, and dropping it to 640 x 480 cut the outgoing bandwidth to under...

Still cannot find anything specific to what I describe. I don't have any CPU or bandwidth problems save for the individual feed streaming issue. Not sure what to adjust.

I wish the search function on this site were better, as I am sure this has been covered at some point. What I am having trouble with is streaming to tablets and a remote PC from individual cameras via the Blue Iris server. Specifically to an app like ActionTiles or SharpTools. Streaming just...

I think I have isolated it to something like that either with my server or the network cabling. Moving cameras around to different ports makes no difference to which remain active, but I just setup a second BI demo server on my main PC and I am able to access some cameras that way. I was...

Camera status.

Yes, I can view cameras directly outside of BI. Here's the log. The force quits are for the Q-See DVR cameras.

Really not sure what is happening here, but over the course of the last 12 hours, most of my cameras have dropped off from being accessible by BI. The viewer frames report no signal, but none of the IP addresses have changed, and three cameras served by an old Q-See DVR are reachable...

My assumption is that this is deliberate to prevent people from streaming non-stop and sucking up bandwidth they'd like to reserve for other uses. Get permission from the site admin and a direct link to it if you want to do this 24/7.

I'm really interested in getting motion tracking working with PTZ. I have BI setup to trigger presets, but I'm wondering what options exist to get real time motion tracking done. I frequently see my PTZ ping-ponging back and forth with two different trigger zones while nothing is actually...

I recently started having this issue with an older DVR feed from four cameras. It affects all of them, but no direct to disc, so the recordings get corrupted as well. This thread has given me a good idea what to look at, but I figured I'd toss out my temporary solution of changing camera...

Having spent a little time with this issue myself recently, I just want to throw in the suggestion that the native Windows Remote Desktop Connection is an absolute hog of CPU resources. It's fine for low load use, but turns into a system killer quickly without much additional load. I had been...

Just did this today as I upgraded/moved it to my new i5-6400 system. Easy as ever! (Just be sure you have your license info handy!)
