    IP4M-1041B constantly trying to contact AWS, bug or deliberate?

    I just added my first Armcrest cameras to my BI system today. I noticed similar activity.. when I would save other settings, DNS servers would change from 0.0.0.0 (what I entered) to the two google servers. It did this several times. I just checked and they are still at 0.0.0.0. I changed DNS to...

    Geofence is changing status and phone hasn't moved

    As the subject says.. iPhone is sitting stationary on a table, inside the geofence. It will then go out of the fence, and change profile. Then, a short time later go back in and switch profiles. It keeps doing this, while inside the geofence. Everything is latest versions. I've expanded geofence...

    my BI system build

    I installed a Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC wireless bridge between two buildings I own that are about 1.5 blocks apart. It’s working well with about 260Mbps. I have one 3MP camera running 15fps over the bridge to my BI server. It’s running great. I’ll add a few more when funds allow. The speed test...

    How do you sync time with your cameras? I have 15

    After unsuccessful attempts to get Windows built in time server to work with my cameras I installed Meinberg NTP. Once installed, I changed each camera to NTP and setup DST rules. It’s working well. Highly recommended.

    Galaxy S8+ Geofence Problem (Blue Iris App)

    When I use my routable external IP address, I can’t connect via VPN. I have to use my 192.168.x.x:81 IP to connect over VPN, which makes sense from a routing perspective. Any ideas on how to use the geofence when using vpn connections from the outside?

    Any way to remote access without port forwarding in router?

    My Netgear Nighthawk router has OpenVPN installed on the router. Their setup makes it easy to get going on PC, Mac and smartphones. You just download the OpenVPN client from your app store, get the client files on the device and you are set. I use it to access BI and HomeSeer. I actually use...

    My BI server is a Dell OptiPlex 7050, i7-7700, 16GB, 256 SSD and 8TB purple for storage with ~40MP across 11 cameras. I decided to load Homeseer on the machine as it runs <20% CPU, <3GP RAM. I loaded Homeseer plugins for BI, MyQ (garage door openers), ecobee thermostat (heat only in my case)...
