    I guess I could. BI app seems to get mixed reviews here - I’ve never looked at it.

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    I’m running windows 11. I am currently away for work and the RDP into the BI computer is working just fine. I can be into my cams in seconds and stay connected on an iPad as long as needed. Some ptz controls are funky otherwise it seems to work as if sitting at home. Job site has terrible...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    Yes, both devices are connected. I can access thru Remote Desktop protocol. It’s not that bad besides, as I said before, running a windows desktop with an IOS phone. Haven’t played with it much on the iPad. I’m wondering if I should try and access a fire tablet running ui3 24/7/365. That would...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    This didn’t work either. Entered Tailscale IP address in remote, external access with port :81 at end hit ok, then shut down and restart BI. open brave on phone, enter ui3 address and session times out I have nothing else checked in the remote external access box

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    My BI machine has a different IP address due to not assigning an IP on my router for a couple of reboots. That problem is solved. my test was only typing the IP address and the port :81 I guess I should try /ui3.htm version and see what happens tried again, both versions — at home, Wi-Fi...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    @concord I have tried having both my phone and my BI machine connected to Tailscale and just opening brave browser and entering UI3 address with the port also. This is with Wi-Fi off on the phone. Just goes to search results for the IP. Does not connect to UI3. I can do it thru RDP, and then...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    Elvis - It will take a little bit of learning for me to understand what you just wrote. I did see the part about subnet routing on Tailscale.

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    I'm hooked up to tailscale, that was a small learning curve but done. What I'm confused on is how to actually see UI3? Maybe I'm overthinking it. I can RDP into my blue iris machine, open the browser and type my UI3 address. Is that it? Seems awful slow and a lot of steps. Is there a way to...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    So I’ve set up 3 devices on a Tailscale account. my blue iris machine, iPad, and IPhone - now what? I also have a couple of Amazon fire tablets, one is running UI3 24/7 on LAN — can I utilize this somehow? what is the best way to use Tailscale? Do I need an app for BI on my phone. All I really...

    Help - Magenta Z12E

    Ok solved for now -- tapped it a bit with the rubber handle of a large screwdriver -- no change until a restart of the cam. Back to color. Forced BW and color a few times and all OK at the moment

    Help - Magenta Z12E

    Spring loaded? Is this common? At the moment this camera is on a test rig so it’s easy to get to. Intended use is for LPR up on a pole. 15 feet up. Not easy to get to. Now that it’s happened once, Should I expect this to happen often? Camera has been in service on the test rig for over a...

    EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 - Smart plan unable to select options other than AcuPick?

    Write down all your settings 1st. It’s happened more than once that when I turn off acupick and the system reboots it wipes all my camera settings. Now I try and shut off acupick immediately after setting a new IP address on a new camera. Before I’ve changed much of anything.

    What exactly are these very small objects? Do they move? Are they warm blooded? Do they have eyes that would reflect?

    Installation in Work Shop- Sawdust

    Sounds like money is not a problem, how about a dust collection system, and air filtration. It can be expensive or not. In a previous wood shop/garage I built my air filtration system from an old furnace blower. Should do it for dads lungs if nothing else.

    4kt - need help - clearly being an idiot / overlooking something

    Is that a typo? 192.158? Still have to question why you could not contact the cam when you plugged into the main nic card. That card should have had the proper 192.168.1 range Anyway, glad you figured it out

    UI3 LAN address changes?

    I certainly did not set anything on the router. My son handles all that crap. I do have the username and password. Thanks for the help.

    UI3 LAN address changes?

    I seem to have a recurring problem with the UI3 LAN address changing when I lose power to the router. What causes this and how do I stop it? Is it a BI setting or the router? PIA when it happens, I have to change all the bookmarks in my devices to the new address.
