    Router Wi-Fi connection goes down when a computer is shut down

    The 2 should not be related. Was the internet ever working without the laptop in the environment? That wifi router should be maintaining the internet connection regardless of what is connected to it or VPN's through it. I would start with making sure the router is 100% functional before...

    Network Debug Basics

    A lot to unpack here. How are you viewing the cameras remotely? Have you tested locally as well and is the problem present locally also? Have you gone through the optimizations listed in the wiki? I have a very. similar setup to you and I barely see any CPU and/or network utilization that...

    Remote viewing on iOS app busted

    I think I figured it out. It's kind of obscure. Anyway, my domain was (up until Saturday) managed by Google Domains. Google sold that business to Squarespace so, source of my problems seems to be related to DNS re-write rules that were configured and subsequently moved to Squarespace now...

    Remote viewing on iOS app busted

    Actually doing both. I only allow access by IP from the address space at work so, it's not open to the entire Internet and I also use VPN. When I VPN in, the app works fine but when not, I get this funky app behavior and none of the cams come up. My wife's phone now exhibiting this too.

    Remote viewing on iOS app busted

    Hey Tony - none of the above. I have Windows Update disabled and I checked the WAN address, nothing changed there as well. scratching my head on this one.

    Remote viewing on iOS app busted

    Anyone ever see this? Just noticed this today. Remote viewing from iOS app just gives me the color bars but not the cameras - it behaves as though it is constantly refreshing the bars but the cameras never come up. Runs on the local LAN/Wifi just fine. Running version 5.9.0.7 on Windows 10...

    Need help setting up OpenVPN with fiber optic

    You can also just put your Asus in place of the Eero. That’s probably the easiest option for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multiple network cards

    I'm not sure implementing 3 network cards with different IP addresses equates to "implementing VLANs" - can you give more detail?

    Defined Subnet versus VLAN: Is there a difference in my example for Blue IrisI

    Rob - from what I see in your drawing, VLANs aside, the short answer is yes, the BI PC should be able to see cameras on both 192.168.0.X and 192.168.20.X. The is because the BI PC is on both networks via your dual NIC configuration. VLANs configured on managed switches ( or a combo of both...

    Dual NIC setup keeps crashing network

    If you look at the dual NIC wiki, it mentions that the default gateway on the 2nd NIC must be blank. Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine This would be the NIC that connects to all your cameras

    my flood light refuses to work without internet. any idea how to fool it?

    Both of those packet capture screenshots don't show anything but local traffic. Is it possible for you to block everything but RTSP?

    Making sure cameras aren't "calling home"?

    You should be all set then. The cameras are on the network attached to the 2nd NIC. From what you've described, there is no default gateway that would route the traffic out. The 2nd NIC in the BI machine should have no default gateway configured either. You can plug in a bogus IP in...

    User account control

    User account control is the first thing I disable when I build a Windows machine. Have you looked in the control panel to make "adjustments" to UAC or disable altogether?

    How to delay Schedule changes for 60 seconds etc?

    I do something similar using the geo location on my phone. When I come home, BI goes into a temp schedule for 2 minutes which still records but doesn't alert. Then after the 2 minutes, it resumes the normal schedule based on time of day.

    Blue Iris app + business related + I'm not to sure

    @Holbs - how advanced is the IT team? Do they already have a domain registered? If they have skills - you could deploy BI with some additional security layered in with something like this:

    Unable to Connect, Reason: IP Banned!

    Look in settings, web server, advanced - you'll find the ban settings there

    Cannot connect IP camera

    It's not an IPv6 thing - you don't need that to connect to the camera. Have you tried connecting to http://192.168.2.129 ? I am assuming your PC is also on the 192.168.2.X network

    Storage limit

    Yes you can. Look at the record tab on the camera. there you will find the folder location for where the camera records. You can change that location and then control the retention of the new location under Clips & Archiving under BI settings. You can do this on a per camera basis if you want.

    New internet service coming - VPN options

    This looks really interesting as an alternative to traditional VPN.

    Does anyone LiveStream their camera on youtube?

    I've tried it from BI before but not for too long a period of time. How long before you guys have seen the stream die?

    Cameras have no signal in Blue Iris

    While posts above are assuming it's a problem with cameras, you should also check that there isn't a networking problem with the BI machine going on as well.

    Funny / Satire

    We had one of those touch faucets in the kitchen that used to engage when I was on 80M - drove me nuts. Tried installing ferrite cores on the long cable that led to the battery pack which I was convinced was acting as an antenna - to no avail. Finally ended up getting rid of the faucet.

    Installing ethernet wire from 14-foot eaves soffit to 8-foot camera height

    @builder - Is it a hard and fast rule that the cameras need to be at 8 feet? I don't think it is. As an alternative, why couldn't you take those 5442 varifocals, mount them where you have boxes already installed with ethernet in the soffit and make up the difference with the varifocal zoom...

    Lagging... What Am I Doing Wrong?

    The one thing you can do for the ethernet port is to setup to 1000Mbps/Full and not leave set to auto on the switch. You would need to do the same for the ethernet adapter in Windows as well. This helps to alleviate the sudden switch over to 100Mbps.
