Hi All. So I know I've asked questions a couple of years ago pertaining to this issue but I think I gave up trying to get it working. I just added a new camera and wanted to try and see my cameras when I'm not home. When on wifi, the app gets into my cameras but outside of the network, it fails...

Hi All. I'm about to replace all my floors in my kitchen and wanted to do a time-lapse using my Amcrest camera and BI. In Blue Iris, I have it set up to take a frame every 10 seconds for the weekend but when I watch the windows folder, once there are 60 files, it starts back at one snapshot and...

I have three Amcrest, one ReoLink, and a Dahua. All the UPnP settings in each camera are defaulted to off (box not checked).

All my cameras record to my local PC drives so I'm assuming that the router is the only way to get my cameras not only to those drives but also the BI program that runs all of it. Am I doing it wrong?

My three POE cameras are plugged into the powered switch just so I can get them to the router/modem and then the other two are on the wifi. I access all the cameras on BI through my PC in the house. I don't access the cameras from any other computer outside the house but set up Stunnel so that I...

For now, I'm just blocking their wifi access using the AT&T app that has control of my network. That's probably why the cameras still show up normal in BI since that's really inside my network. As far as open ports, I have all closed except the one I set up for Stunnel fakeout. I guess since...

Hi All. Network question. I just got a new Arris router/modem for the house and was trying out AT&Ts Smart Home Manager app. It shows my cameras using a ton of data which are a mix of wired and wireless. Three POE cameras --> switch--> router and two others are wi-fi. As an alternative for now...

I just got a new router and added BI to the one port I want to be opened. I can see the cameras on the BI app when I'm on the home wifi but when I leave the house, the server won't open. What did I forget to setup?

Thank you!

Hi All, I've done this 100s of times but for some reason, BI doesn't see my wifi cameras. I changed my router password and reset both cameras back to factory. Sometimes the Amcrest app I use to bring them back into the network doesn't recognize the custom IP addresses I give them. So now they...

What's funny is I found that guide before posting and read right over the upgrade section. What a dummy.

Hi All, I'm on 4.8.6.3 and everything is running fine but I'm assuming that means I'm not on version 5 and won't be until I renew/upgrade. So, do I have to purchase at full price to jump to v5 or will the "Extended Service" @ $29.95 get me there? Ty

So I have 5 cameras, three of which are POE and two that are wireless. The Dahua and Reolink work fine plugged into the Gigabit powered POE switch but ever since I've had the cameras, the Amcrest POE camera, it will only work if it's plugged into my TP-Link injector. No matter which port I tired...

It's actually more than a camera issue because when I disconnect the VPN, I can't even get into my router to view or change settings and as soon as I turn it back on, I can get in. I think I tried a hard reset of my At&t router-modem a couple of weeks ago but I guess it didn't fix the problem...

Alright soooo, not sure why but the solution to this problem is that the cameras only come back online when my Nord VPN is connected. How can that be? As soon as I disconnect Nord, the cameras go offline within 15 seconds. I'm ok with this for privacy but if connected to Nord, I can't see my...
