How did you install the Foscam cameras? Did you assign static ip addresses for each camera yourself?

Yes they both have a static IP address set up by a friend but he is not available for the next several days to help walk me through the process

I don't have Foscam cameras or use Wireless connections for my cameras, but I'm guessing the IP Address of each cameras was lost when the router rebooted. This would cause Blue Iris to no longer see your cameras. It sounds like you need to re-assign static ip addresses for your cameras and confirm the settings in Blue Iris match your camera settings.

You might have better luck with responses if you post this in the Foscam section of this forum.

Use the foscam software tool to find the cameras and make sure the ip address is set correctly in blue iris. As others have mentioned it was likely not set static/dhcp reservation.

why is this thread in installation pics?

You might also look at your router to see if there are DHCP reservations set for these devices instead of actual static IP's. I have done that in the past where I would setup a camera with DHCP, then make a reservation in the router. Then after that is working I would set the camera to a static IP anyway. That covers me if the camera loses it settings at any point.
