So, my setup is different. I do use BI, but just for local NVR purposes. I use an app called IP Cam Viewer Pro (Android and iOS) to view our IP cameras. For years I had a local WISP and static IP. I changed to Starlink and all is well except that I can no longer use IP Cam Pro to access my...

TonyR, Wow, thanks VERY much for that thorough reply. In fact I have a Fingbox, and so since I saw your follow up I have been fooling around with them one of a time to see if I can spot any on the network. And I had forgotten that I had read that it will pick up an IP address via DHCP, so...

All, I have a box full (six) of these Dericam 502W cameras. At various times one would stop working, I would reset it and then could not get back into it, throw it in the box and shrink my constellation of them until finally I have none working. I have done resets on all of them. The green...

My alarm system has two-way IP communication. If the normal path fails it rolls over to a cellular communicator (think cell phone) link to the central station. I do not know many details of how my system and the central station communicate, but it is a very high profile manufacturer and a very...

alastairstevenson, OK, those are all interesting points. Even my DSC alarm system requires ports to be opened to function correctly, so essentially every convenience for attaching devices that need two-way access open up the door to these nefarious types. It is still unclear to me why the Blue...

alastairstevenson, I have to say, you are a genius. OK, it was hacked and the second password above was the one they reset it to. What do I need to change in my router to keep this from happening again? I am stunned to near disbelief that someone found my camera and did that to it. And I...

All, I have quite a curious development. I have two identical HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I cameras connected to my LAN. They have worked flawlessly for several years. Suddenly I cannot log into one of them. I get a message that the password is incorrect when I try via a browser and iPhone apps...

NoloC, I have made a note. Much thanks. Phillip

NoloC, OK, that explains why TeamViewer works fine and the cameras won't. I'll call the provider in the morning and see if they have a suggestion. I'll explore VPN in the meantime. Regards, Phillip

NoloC, in my original post I noted that they are on a WISP that does use NAT. That is pretty typical, right? They do not and never did have a static IP. But your question does get me to wondering why you asked it so please share your thoughts if something is percolating there. And tomorrow I...

Whoareu99, OK, I will continue to look. But, since your post what I have found so far are people using VPN...and trying to figure out how to open ports. LOL Illustrating my point that maybe it isn't so easy. And I don't know if millions of commercially installed devices would be done by...

Thanks for the comment and I see your point. However, while use of a VPN is an option, this is a residence and not a commercial entity with the higher need for camera access security. As a result I see the benefit of VPN added security outweighed by the the additional complexity of a VPN in...

All, I am configuring the following: ASUS RT-AC88U router on a connection to a WISP with a NATd IP. . Since ASUS no longer makes it easy by hosting DDNS themselves, I set up a NO-IP client on a network connected computer. The router DDNS and port forwarding-triggering setups (respectively)...

Oops! Sorry, this was addressed in the post Missing User Interface. My sincere apology for the distraction! Best Regards, Phillip

Folks, I am a new user here so my apology if this is addressed elsewhere. BI offered to download and install an update a couple of days ago. Everything appears OK, except that now I cannot find the user interface. :sad: My two cameras load up, they are switching back and forth on the...
