are the cameras and NVR on a different subnet?

I must admit that I'm not sure that ZT needs to be involved while on the same LAN. I was thinking that ZT was policing access to the PC and wouldn't let it through unless it was "ZT authorized". That may not be true while on the same LAN. I do know, that even when local I use the ZT IP...

you will also need to authorize access to the PC you're trying to "see" in Zerotier.

Oh well, I'm not sure what I'll use it for. I'll have to figure out how I can protect it on the network to use it. thanks

I guess I just don't understand how the cloud-based ones work. I was assuming that there must be a video feed coming from the camera that isn't available without internet connection. I was hoping I could intercept the raw signal. Sounds like it can't be done. Thanks for your help!

Is it possible to "intercept" the signal from a cheap IP camera that doesn't support RTSP/ONVIF? I received one for free and as expected, it can't be pulled into BI. I am thinking that there may be a way to connect it to an NVR directly. Is it possible to cut the ethernet cable, identify...

ZeroTier has worked very well for me. I’m personally not familiar with Tailscale, since my ZT setup has worked so well, but I believe that they are similar upon function. ZT allows me to use windows Remote Desktop. The combination has worked very well.

thanks for the ngrok suggestion. We are in the process of setting up a Zerotier solution. The site is remote, so we are only there sporadically to work on it!

in the BI Webserver tab, you can select the ZT created adapter. If I remember correctly, once you select the ZT adapter (which has the ZT IP address in the name), it inserts the ZT IP in the external IP field.

I currently a have static IP address for my Blue Iris PC. I will be moving to an ISP who doesn't have a static offering. Do I need to change any settings for Zerotier? I used a No-Ip solution in the past, but haven't for a few years. Do I need to reinstate it for Zerotier to work?

One tweak that you have to do in BI is to change the LAN adapter to use the one ZT creates.

I’ve been using ZT for about a year. It’s been sold for me.

Have you reviewed this YouTube? It presents the setup steps well…

Many thanks for the suggestions and ideas. We will pursue these. I don't believe that the ISP has IPV6 available. We will work with these suggestions and hopefully have some discussions with the tech support team at the vendor. Many thanks!

Thanks, I found this before posting my question here. It's provides great direction , and suggests that ZeroTier will resolve the issue when I migrate next week (thankfully). It doesn't seem to directly answer the question as to whether these solutions were specific to CGNAT based networks...

Our area is moving to a fiber solution for internet. I was assisting my brother with his installation and we've run into a problem with remote access to cameras. The problem seems to be due to the ISP is using CGNAT where you don't have a routable IP address (even with a DDNS provider)...

I don’t know whether this will help or not. I do know that Lorex provides a service at their tech support line where, if you forget, or purchase a used DVR, they will reset a default psw on the unit if you give them a serial #. I’m not sure if Dahua does this or not.

Rereading this thread, it certainly sounds like a BI problem. Do you have a restore point from 3 months ago - before the problem?

A couple of suggestions to consider: 1) memory problem? If you have 2 sticks, remove one at a time and see if it disappears 2) power supply? Check the Event Manager to see if anything pops out. 3) heat? Run a heat monitor like “Core Temp”. If there’s a problem, Reset the processor with...

I do this successfully, so it must be something simple..... Have you checked that the ZeroTier client on the phone hasn't "disabled" itself when using cellular? I have seen instances where the setting doesn't stick.

I just re-read the thread, it might even be a camera problem. Maybe it's starting to fail. I'd swap out another camera as a first step to try to eliminate the camera as the problem. Maybe check the camera on a short cable and with the tester to see if you get different results. If the...

ya, doesn't sound like a cable length issue. I would think that distance should be easy.

could it be distance related? How long is the cable?

way to go! You're certainly fortunate to find a solution. I came to the conclusion that my Dvr was just too old. I ended up putting in my "old" box of parts. When the pain has worn off, I may just pull it out again and see if some new tricks might work. Thanks for the posting.

thanks! found it!

Where did you find this setting?

Before jumping into a new Lorex DVR, consider the BI route. I had a DVR and then loaded BI onto an old Windows XP computer (that was running other software too). I ran BI, but it maxed it out. I ultimately purchased a refurbed HP and installed BI on it. It nicely accepted the input from my...

I use ZT on my iPhone and iPad and it stays “on”. I think I selected the beta copy……

I have used IP Cam Viewer pro and have been very pleased. I haven’t found a camera that it cannot deal with. Also, Robert’s support is great!

I have found Lorex support on the phone to be quite good. Give them a call with your model and serial # they should be able to help.
