Great setup and interesting projects. I wish I had the same skills. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you CC. I really appreciate the advice.

That’s very clear. Thanks for taking the time to explain it CC. If I toggle the OpenVPN port to UDP does it effect anything else meaning do I need to change anything else? Eg do I need to issue the OpenVPN cert again. Or is it as simple as just toggling it?

Thanks catcamstar. I have it all up and running on my remote laptop and ipad (access via OpenVPN) but I will take the opportunity to ask you one question that has me wondering. When I toggled RDP on the host Computer it states that the app is running on xxxx port number. I am accessing this...

Ok. Great. Thanks for the advice. I’ll do that.

At the moment I have router - BI server - switch - cameras. Are you suggesting router - switch - BI server and camera’s? Thanks

I have OpenVPN up and running on my Asus router (RT-AC86U) and can access the BI remote GUI outside of my LAN. The desktop is currently connected directly to my router. It all works fine and when I am away from my property and I just turn OpenVPN on and insert the local ip and port number into...

For me it was the diff between it working or not working. Obviously it’s bypassing some other issue that I had.

Thanks TL1096r. I was doing what your link said but the commentary below that tutorial prompted me to change the task schedule to run “after login” in lieu of “at startup“. That worked for me.

I had tried this before fenderman and Task Manager showed that Blue Iris task had run and that BI was up. But it wasntt. Also after I do that the BI shortcut on my desktop wont open BI. It shows a quick glimpse of the BI good morning start up screen and then nothing thereafter. If I go into...

My system runs at a remote site which is an eight hour round trip to service. I use OpenVPN to login when I am away and like to see the ui up. the cameras instantly and have the software fully running.

I initially Went down the path you suggested above but couldn’t get it to work properly Fenderman. I know you say it’s easy and it’s about attention to detail (I’ve checked and checked the task properties) but for me it wouldn’t auto start. I could “run“ it from within Task Scheduler but it...

This was so simple and exactly what I wanted. Thanks ponyboy.

My issues were related to using Dropbox as the link for the client file which OpenVPN Connect didn’t like for some reason. I got this enlightenment when I ditched the iPhone and iPad for a while and achieved success in getting a connection on my laptop. It was then apparent that my road block...

Thanks Catcamstar. I will look into the embedded certificate option which I have also seen mentioned elsewhere.

In the first picture above I am only downloading the “Export OpenVPN configuration file” which provides a file named “client.ovpn”. This is the file I am loading in my Dropbox and linking in the OpenVPN connect app on my phone. I am not using the “ export current certification”...

That’s how I did it fenderman. I took your advice and downloaded the software to a usb and In the process everything was suppose to have been wiped.

Thanks IAmATeaf. The only reason I have been toying with turning it back on after I sort BI is that I don’t run any anti virus software. And the reason I don’t run anti virus software is that I have seen how it can bloat a system. This desktop is 100% dedicated to BI and once I have it running...

I just checked now and I see that it is there in two spots. The first is an option to disable the app in the startup process and the section is an option to disable it from running real time. As it’s clearly a manufacturer app (HP in this case) I have disabled both while I am customizing my BI...

Apologies up front for the boring thread but I am also having trouble setting up OpenVPN on my ASUS router. I have read the wiki multiple times and also followed Randys very succinct explanation but can’t seem to get it working. This should be an easy process but I can’t see whats stopping my...

So I did a clean instal of Windows 10 and everything booted up fine. Got Blue Iris working and I walked away happy. When I came back the next morning the system was off. I restarted it in safe boot and the same problem came back the next day. So after I booted up on the second day again there...

I’m not familiar with Regedit weigle2 but will have a look at it and report back. Thanks for the tip.

No I haven’t tried a clean install yet IAmATeaf. What I meant was that I purchased the desktop new and installed Windows 10 at that time. It’s a dedicated BI server and I have been very careful about the software that has been installed on it as I don’t need anything that’s unrelated to BI or...

Thanks for the responses Area651, fenderman and IAmATeaf. Whwn I set this PC up I did do a clean instal as it was a new system but obviously somewhere thru the process I got sucked into accepting the HP Sure Run tool. It still amazes me that a HP tool could block part of the windows core system...

The above program is preventing me from temporarily switching off my windows 10 firewall ( it instantly turns it back on) and after doing some research I see a possible solution wherein I need to switch it off inside the system bios. Uninstall from the HP Sure Run app doesn’t work as it keeps...

All camera installations need a solid mount and if there is access behind the wall generally the best solution is the cable placed entirely in the wall cavity. Wall mount brackets are also OK if they again have a solid mount. In the pic attached you show the cables as exposed. That’s not a...

Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting question. I’m guessing if a camera can trigger an alarm out it can also trigger other IOT devices. Bumping for an answer.

I have been successfully testing my cameras, switch and BI setup at home and now wish to move it to a remote and live setup. The remote setup will be at a second property and will use a completely different internet provider and a different type of router (remote is Asus fibre vs my home Huawei...
