Add Remote NVRs to Blue Iris

[Tony Simmons]

Hi All,

New to Blue Iris...

Would like to use Blue Iris to monitor and do backup recordings for two NVRs located at two different locations.
So far I've been unable to find a way to do it. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Tony

You would need to build a VPN between you and each location.

The internet is a force of nature; no video surveillance system made was designed to be exposed to those forces.. NEVER FORWARD PORTS to your NVR or Cameras, doing such things not only exposes you to severe security problems, but everyone else on the internet too.. Hackers dont want your video...

You will need the IP subnet to be different at each location.
Then you can connect and pick off the cameras you want to display and record.
I have 3 locations, each has a NVR, and I monitor all cameras on BI, and record to it's drives.

Thanks for the response.

I've been stuck on this for a couple of days and the info gives me a fresh place to start.

Best, Tony
