    Issues with OpenVPN out of the blue

    Hi folks. Y'all helped me set up my home cameras a while back with BlueIris and they have been running very solidly for some time. BluieIris is awesome! But lately, having an issue with "peer certificate verification failure" in Open VPN when I go to use my android phone to access the VPN...

    Well, not much running aside from BI and Avast virus protection..... My system is pretty old.....no doubt the main issue.

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    "Then go to the camera Network settings and change the camera IP address to the range of your system and hit save. " Pretty sure that is what I had done early on....WITAJ had walked me through step by step as well as did others....I remeber those screens when setting up the two NIC cards....and...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    Thanks! Yeah I am running Home 10 x64 on this box. Can you clue me in on manually assigning the IPs w/o using a seperate DHCP server? After another restart I am now able to get back into settings and BI is running and all cameras are up..... But here is what my camera side NIC is saying. Not...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    I am almost certain I did assign static IPs to ten cameras when I set up the dual nics....I just cant remember where to look to verify that. I swear I did. But the second nic is showing DHCP...so......I may be full of poop.... Thought at least for now I was good aside from the DHCP stuff...but...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    Ok...well....I told you I am a newbie...... I was avoiding shutting down /restarting the B machine figuring that I would avoid MORE issues. I restarted the box and like magic all cameras are now back. I guess the NIc got confused? That said, My second NIC card, the one running the camera...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    Since the cameras do not show up on my router, they only connect to the BI machine.....I assume I need to set up static IPs there for the cameras? But I thought I did this when I set them up originally on the second NIC..... In my BI box under networking and for the NIC card running the camera...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    But if the subnet of the PC is set at the router level, how does that work without breaking stuff? BUT---update -- here is what is nuts. I just switched all the cabling back to exactly where it all was before, restoring my camera side switch etc.. I labeled stuff prior to changing stuff...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    Thanks FWIW the brillcam is not in my router network map anywhere right now (nor is that funky MAC address I was talking about earlier).... So I disconnected my other two cameras from the POE switch, disconnected the cable connecting it to the camera nic....then.....took the internet cable...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    The camera is (was) setup as a static IP as are my others..... The factory reset is what I am clinging to.... Dumb question -- in the dual nic setup you helped me with, the three cameras are on a switch on that second NIC, isolated from the interweb..... IF the camera did default to its...

    IP Camera offline after powering down

    I was perusing my Asus router logs and found that there is a mac address constantly trying to connect, authorizes, then deauthorizes. I looked online for what the vendor of the MAC address is and it says "Tuya Limited" from China....I found some info about TUYA that seems to indicate that they...

    How to improve scrub action?

    Ok, another newbie query. I am a video editor by trade and am very used to using scrub on edit timelines etc. and am used to a very responsive scrub. I am guessing my system is the major bottle neck causing the issue, but I have pretty poor scrub action while scrubbing through recorded/stored...

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    Thats good advice......frankly, I wouldnt g.a.s. fi I had to stay on W10 forever for BI . Nothing about W11 entices me. But security updates (not Windows updates) have become a way of life I guess.....I will use W10as long as I can....especially now that you said BI isnt quite stable as of yet...

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    I have tried rolling windows updates back (on non BI boxes) and I always seem to have teh luck where it eitehr stays broke or it gets WORSE. It has been a long time since I tried rolling back anything.....PTSD from those times...LOL Is there a patron saint of PCs I can pray to?

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    Thanks Appreciate the link. I have seen many sites like this , referenced on this and other sites. I already "limit" them by the first method....pausing them. The group policy to STOP them is a great way to go, but you have to have Pro....I am running HOME 64 bit on my BI box...so a non...

    Blue Iris Extended Support Auto Renewal

    Probably is. On the other hand, could just be someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of BI and maybe they are not very tech savvy. In this instance the complaint seems tp be with Digital River....I could be mistaken but I have bought other software arrangents through that provider (I...

    Blue Iris Upgrade Hell Rant

    I have seen this comment a bunch of times.... Can you clarify what version of windows you run and how you STOP updates?c I think I would be FIN with no updates. I havent even taken the gamble up upgrading BI from 5.4.4.2, because "if it works dont fix it". Do you run the security updates at...

    I am trying that (a backup) now. I never had any scheduled anything set up....I did the first CLONE when I first insatlled Macrium and then didnt use it or touch it since...that was in May 21.... If the C drive is what I am imaging, and if it tanks, how would I use the stored image I am making...

    UPS for use with Blue Iris system

    Yeah the first time I used it, no issues at all..easy peasy. Which is why I am stymied.... I am doing an "image" now.....onto the backup drive, will report back on that......but now that I think of it, I guess I will need to then transfer that to something else if I want to keep trying to...

    Blue iris and Windows 10 vs Windows 11

    I have been using BI for going on a year now and LOVE it. EXTREMELY reliable and though I am still muddling through the learning curve on some things, it has done everything (and more) I need it to do right now. Couple questions though in regards to updates. I am running BI 5.4.4.2 on Windows...
