Blue Iris and Myipcam at the same time?

[jmagill]

If we have Blue iris installed and running on an office system, can we still allow other staff to just see a live stream on myipcam.com?

What's myipcam.com? It's not a valid website.

If you want staff to see a live stream you could use the web server or console on the BI comp.

Sorry. It is a browser extension. My boss wants a few people to have access to the live streams when away from the office. I am trying to figure out if you can do that through a browser extension and have Blue Iris recording at the same time.

Use the blue Iris app or set up access to the blue iris web server.
Please do not open ports, use uPNP. Watch your net work security.

No need to have a browser extension, BI comes with an amazing web server / remote viewing system made by @bp2008 called UI3. Click on settings, then Web server to configure



You will have to either set up port forwarding or a VPN to view remotely. I blocked out my IP for security reasons.

Please do not open ports, use uPNP.

Did you mean "use VPN"? uPNP is the usual term for when apps automatically setup port forwarding on your router (vs. you having to do it manually).

x3 on seeing if the BI web server meets your requirements. To your original question, as long as your cameras can support multiple simultaneous streams, they should be able to stream to BI and someone connecting via the way ya'll have be doing it.

Use the blue Iris app or set up access to the blue iris web server.
Please do not open ports, use uPNP. Watch your net work security.

For future viewers, that is not advisable to use upnp, just the opposite, make sure all instances of of UPNP is disabled.
