    WiFi connection to BI and viewing remotely

    So I wanted to setup BI on an extra machine to monitor my storage locker. So If I can connect the machine to my internet provider WiFi how can I get to BI? I dont have any access to their router so I can’t configure their router obviously. So do I have to get a service like NoIP?

    Camera Voltage Monitoring

    I'm running a camera on Wifi and Solar. Is there anyway for BI to measure the voltage / amps a camera is drawing and display on screen? So far I've undersized both my panel and battery for what i've been messing with!

    Covid Playing around...

    Anyway, I was thinking my old Blue Iris pc is sitting in the garage collecting dust. I have some extra cameras let me see if I can use the PC in my garage as a pass through wirelessly to my new blue Iris machine in the house and have 1 camera setup in the garage. I know not an ideal hop, i'm...

    Dell 7040 SFF vs Mini Tower for BI Server

    I like dell, I happen to have the correct Windows 10 Pro original CD so I'm leaning towards Dell. I looked at the HP EliteDesk on ebay too, but the selection didn't seem to meet my need for HP. Anyway, looks like the SFF can hold more RAM, and if i'm reading it correctly, drive space looks to...

    Blue Iris - Not Secure

    When connecting remotely to my cameras, on all the web browsers I use it says not secure at the beginning of the URL. Is there a way to secure this? Searching I didn't find much, maybe it was my terms I used.

    Squished Image Viewing on Iphone when viewing remotely...

    I did the update on Saturday since I need to install windows updates. Now when I view from my iPhone, the images are squished together bad. It's like SW is doing fit to screen for all the images. If I go to a single camera and flip the phone to landscape it doesn't really help, still squished...

    New Router Help: Went from Linksys E3000 to EA7300 - Pulling Hair Out

    Powerline and POE injector built into one?

    I thought I saw a link here on one but for the life of me I can't find it now. I know there is a UK one but... My buddy bought an ebay brand but I'd rather avoid ebay. Newegg searching provided little. Sucks when you search for Powerline adapter you get one set of results. POE and Powerline...

    Ugh my DS-2CD2032-I got wet....

    ... well there was water inside the jack. Came home to no signal and no light on my POE router. Is it likely the router died or the camera? I dried the connector out for a bit, but the no light on the router concerns me.

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    So I ran the SADP and have my IP and port. Put them in the add camera screen, select Hikvision and go nothing. If I do run "Inspect Now" it changes the Camera settings to RTSP H.264/MJPG/MPEG4 and still does nothing. Is there a router setting I need to check? I'm so far in foul territory...

    Finally got my camera in....

    .. and installed BI a few weeks ago. Of course my trial is expired. Can I simply reinstall BI to try this camera and computer I was thinking about using? I don't want to spend the money on BI and install on this machine until I'm certain it will even carry a half way decent image quality.
