Thank you, yes, first thing I checked. It's selected as "https://" in the WAN drop-down. He's tried both the domain name I have tied to his home IP and the direct IP address and port. Both work on a remote wifi connection, neither work on Verizon.

And I do have him running through Stunnel, for an https connection. I know a VPN is still one big step better.

I've already got one set up for my home connection and have turned off all outside WAN access to the server. I may tell him its necessary to do so as well. Just more curious at this point at the technical aspect of what might be changing when moving to a cellular connection.

I appreciate your input. You're right that it's probably a good idea to reinstall the app. While I wasn't necessarily pointing fingers at Verizon, it was the only variable I could identify that was different from my other test scenarios (remote WiFi, AT&T LTE, etc). I am trying to put all the...

Hello All! I have a very strange issue with a customer for whom I set up a Blue Iris server at his home. When on a remote WiFi network (not his home WiFi), he can open his Blue Iris iOS app and connect flawlessly to view his cameras. If he turns off WiFi and uses his Verizon Wireless LTE...

In case anyone finds it useful, I figured out one aspect of my problem with the Baby Monitor app. It turns out that when I had the camera set to stream video at its full 12,288 Kbps, it would lock up the app. If I turned it down, even as little as to its 8,192 Kbps option, the app worked fine...

So I was sure this app was going to be a winner, but I actually set it up last night and had some problems. First, the list of supported cameras is quite small with no Hikvision cameras listed. I tried to see if any of the other listed camera settings from the dropdown would work, and I got...

Another follow up, in case anyone finds it useful. I reran the same test as above with the 2nd generation Anker battery. The only change was that I ran the video directly to my Blue Iris server instead of monitoring the video feed from a web browser. With this setup, the Hikvision 2432 and...

All, In case anyone finds it useful, I did a first run test with this battery: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B45EOYS I hooked up the TP-Link TL-WR802N router to its USB port and the Hikvision 2432 to the DC output port. I then linked the camera to the router, connected to the camera's web...

Yikes, that's a deal-breaker for me. Thanks for the info! Chris

Thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any hits for "Giantree" on Amazon. Can you send a link?

Thanks so much for your advice, network specs and otherwise. My next question is going to be about what app to use to monitor the baby. My wife and I live in an iOS ecosystem, but I'd like a similar app to yours (maybe there's an iOS version, haven't looked). I'd like to use an audio-only...

Thank you! I purchased a TP-Link N300 travel router and the Hoo-Too one with the internal battery to test out. I'll post some results on here when I learn more about how compact the setup can be made and how long things can be used on battery power. I'm considering the AC router linked, but...

You're right, it's expensive. I don't have any idea how to calculate how long it could power the Hik 2432. Might have to try it out and see. Chris

Thinking out loud: I wonder if the DC-out on something like this could be adapted to the Hikvision 2432: www.amazon.com/dp/B00DN0KBXU

I agree, this looks great and will likely manageable by my wife. I was trying to think if there is any way to power the 2432 via a battery pack. Either via the ethernet port or the DC-in port. I'll have to search around and see if there's such a thing. Thank you again for your help!

Excellent! Yes, exactly like this! I wonder how I could make it even more compact. What model WiFi router is that?

Thank you everyone for your help. The Hikvision 2432 has been ordered and I'll start testing it out when it arrives. I'm sure it'll be great. In a bid to increase the wife-acceptance factor, I'm trying to figure out how best to cut down on cords needed for operation. My wife liked her...

Thank you everyone for your help. setting up a mini/travel router as a wireless network without internet should work fine as well. Great ideas everyone!

Thank you. That looks fantastic. I had left off the requirement of having a dedicated video monitor since I was sure they wouldn't exist in a WiFi model. Also, thank you for advice on IR. That sounds very reasonable. Happy Holidays!

Hello, My wife and I are expecting our first child in May and we're starting to plan out our nursery. One of the things I'd like to figure out is what type of camera to use as a baby monitor. I'm currently using a combination of Hikvisions, Foscams, and an older Compro IP cam running...
