BI mobile app Get IPS

[dohat leku]

Guys - my Internet WAN ip address changed and when I go to the BI app and hit Get IPS, it doesn't automatically reflect the right IP address and I have to manually enter it and can then connect. This worked before - is there some port I need to allow in/out? I want this functionality to work since my ISP does change my IP address at times and I may not be home

Thx

In Blue Iris Settings > About, look for the checkbox "Register IP address to assist with client app connections". This might not be checked on your system.

Otherwise I recommend getting a dynamic DNS service and use the domain name from that instead of a raw IP address. If you install Blue Iris Tools it provides one for free and keeps it updated as long as you let the app run in the background.
