    yes the WAN and LAN in the blue iris app are the same as shown in the blue iris desktop program under settings --> web server. These numbers allowed me to connect when I was on the wifi. but when I turn wifi off I can no longer connect via the blue iris app even when this OpenVPN program is...

    yes changed the port to 1194. loaded the new file and connected to OpenVPN. I typed into the browser my cameras ip which is 192.168.40.200. nothing comes up. but when I do 192.168.1.1 it brings me to my router log in. I changed the ip address and I guess the subnet of all my cameras on the...

    following that guide right now. just stopping at the part where the default port is 1194. the OP in the link blacked his out so im assuming I should change it to some random combo of 4 digits for security?

    ah yes I wasn't connected to wifi. so that worked when on wifi. but the main thing is being able to view the cameras when not at home on the wifi so to do that I ned to setup the vpn I guess. which I have no idea how lol

    So I now properly have my dual NIC BI machine setup (I think). Trying to get the mobile app to connect.

    Ive got the POE switch plugged into the ethernet jack in the wall. All 4 cameras into the POE. NIC 1 into the poe for internet access. NIC 2 into the POE also where I have changed the IP address and cameras to match it.

    the only way I can get ethernet on this computer is by plugging it into the POE switch which has all the cameras running to it. The poe switch is taking up the only ethernet connection on the wall so the POE switch sorta acts as an extension cable giving me slots for the cameras and slots for...

    Blue iris pc - ssd plus hdd?

    That’s a great thread I have referenced it a lot. It does recommend the optiplex and also using the 2 hard drive setup. But it doesn’t talk about it the specific optiplex 7040 sff can fit both. I do believe from reading elsewhere I just need to remove the dvd drive and then it can but just...

    Is this acceptable blue iris machine and can I add 3.5 drive.

    Isn’t the recommendation for a ssd for os and blue iris. Then the purple drive for recordings. I’m just wondering if it’s possivle to fit both inside these optiplexs

    Is this acceptable blue iris machine and can I add 3.5 drive.

    Ya that is nice. Although I think these optiplexs are actually a French inches smaller in length and width which is why I’m leaning towards them now.

    Got ya makes sense. I’ll go 15 then. Question about these dell optiplexs. I’m asking the ebay sellers if it’s possible to add a 3.5 hdd in addition to the ssd and so far they have all told me “no” for the optiplex 7040 and 3040. Is that accurate? Seems the recommendation is always to have the...

    Is this acceptable blue iris machine and can I add 3.5 drive.

    So if FPS is at 15, is that for recordings? Or just for live streaming? If so, is it possible to increase the FPS when motion is detected? I guess if my pc can handle it I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to run at the max fps in either case.
