Understood. I've had little experience with either SMD or IVS. What are the main drawbacks to SMD? If I convert to IVS rules on the recorder instead of SMD will it use less AI resources?

I'm only using SMD on 8 channels (as per the stated NVR specs) with nothing else running on them. If I can't use any other 4 channels for IVS by recorder (which is also allowed per specs), then it sounds as if the stated specs for the unit are pretty much worthless and wrong???

Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know the model # of the NVR that you have? I'd be interested to look up the specs on it. My particular NVR should be able to handle 4 IVS channels by recorder, but so far none will work. When I attempt to set any of them up, I get the message that...

I am setting up a new Dahua DHI-NVR5232-EI NVR. The specs for this unit call for 4 channels of NVR controlled IVS and 16 channels through the camera interfaces. I have an IVS channel set up through one of the cameras, but so far have not been able to use any channel with IVS controlled by the...

I have been guilty of using the p2p solution because of poor networking skills. This would be a good time for me to become familiar with the open VPN setup.

Posting in this section of the group because I believe this to be a networking problem. Please correct me if wrong: Just changed NVR to a Dahua NV4216-EI (No poe ports). NVR is connected directly to a router port. There are 16 Dahua cams connected to a POE switch, then directly to a router...

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

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

Got it. Thanks so much for everyone's help!

Understood... I assume that I need two separate IP address to distinguish netgear from asus, such as 192.168.254.254 and 192.168 254.255, or does it matter?

Yes, Default for the Frontier Netgears is 192.168.254. ASUS Ivp4- 192.168.1.228 Subnet- 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway- 1.168.1.2 NETGEAR IVP4- 192.168.254.17 Subnet- 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway- 192.168.254.254

Sorry for the delay, I'm losing connectivity as I toggle in and out of bridge mode to test. You are correct, I do show an internet connection at the asus router network page. Both router LAN subnets are 255.255.255.0, but I don't have internet to the computer coming out of the asus router...

Frontier's service is PPPOE. Won't I have to enter their credentials and passwords for the DSL onto the ASUS for internet to function?

I tried the netgear in bridge mode, unfortunately, it discontinues the internet connection.

The first modem is a Netgear D2200D modem/router through Frontier communications, but i did set pptp, lt2p and ipsec to passthrough mode. After you mentioned the internet IP address, i noticed that the first router WAN address is different for the second router WAN address, so you may be onto...
