Notifications will come through, but you won't receive the still capture pic of what triggered the alert. You would need to have openvpn running to get the pic.
Push notifications are usually faster and more reliable than other methods.
Thanks looney! I've had the worst luck in the world trying to set up my BI! Bless
@wittaj for sticking through with me to keep going.
I fixed the 100mpbs NIC issue and now I don't have a bunch of things not working on BI and I'm kinda freaking out cause I went ahead and bought a bunch of stuff to go to BI over the boxed NVR. I'm trying to draw my network topology to share with people here, but here's my list now... If someone is willing to help me via DM/TV please let me know. Current list of issues:
1. BI UI3 server doesn't work ANYWHERE or any devices on the network, other than a Windows machine with IE. I believe I have the right settings in BI, but only IE works over the whole house. No chrome, no mobile devices, not OpenVPN'd connections.
2. I set up my email address to get notifications. Gmail blocked BI and now notifications or nothing has come to my phone from BI.
3. DeepStack doesn't get set up with BI. I have tried various versions of the installers. One seemed to be detected and working, but then I couldn't get passed the API Key, which apparently is no longer needed. But the new versions don't get detected in BI for me to work.
I'm having a bit of deflated day over this, since I have investment in this solution. My goal was much like this forum, get off the cookie cutter, out of the box limited NVR solution and move to BI... But it's been a journey and it's looking dark. Appreciate you guys for helping me through it.
