    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Looks like my issue is around DynUpdater not updating the WAN address correctly. I had to manually tell it to us the existing WAN address

    Keep losing audio from Reolink Doorbell

    So i just figured out.. it applies to both of my Reolink cameras only. If I use the Reolink PC application, I get sound every time. But when I switch to Blue Iris, I don't get sound unless I issue a reboot command to both. If I reboot the camera from either the Reolink PC app or thru Blue...

    Keep losing audio from Reolink Doorbell

    This is a strange one. Maybe my settings... not sure. I have 12 cameras and this is the only one doing this: About once a day I lose audio from the camera thru BlueIris. I lose it thru BI5 both the Android app and the web interface. If I do a "Restart Camera" from BI5, audio comes back, for...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Is it correct to assume that when you use a VPN at the router level, that any device in the house doesn't need to run the OpenVPN client side software (64 bit MSI installer). So if I have a laptop running on the LAN inside the house, I don't need it. But if I use the laptop at the airport, for...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I do. It doesn't pop the app up. If you are on a lock screen, I see the message pop up on the phone. If I tap on the message, nothing happens. I then unlock the phone and go into Notification Settings, then scroll down to the message and tap it, it then opens the Reolink app up. Too many steps

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know why Reolink just doesn't update their Android and iOS software to allow the app to pop up when the doorbell is pressed. Seems so easy! FYI: I'm using OpenVPN. I just figured out last week how to implement OpenVPN at the Asus router level and turn off...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hello all! I've had this installed since last year. And I know this is a really basic question.. When someone rings the doorbell, I want the Reolink app to pop up on my Android phone so I can immediately talk to the person. Im not sure if this is in the settings? Or is this not part of their...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    I changed the password when I first setup the router and changed it again last week. I'll change the user name as well. Then I'll make the other changes. Thx

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Since I have OpenVPN running on the router... Is there a reason to run the OpenVPN client side software (64 bit MSI installer) on the BlueIris server (PC)? The server is never outside the house. Community Downloads - Open Source VPN | OpenVPN

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    So I got this working. The part I was missing is that you have to download the OpenVPN app on the phone side too. So I went to the Google Play Store, downloaded the app. Then you have to export the profile from the OpenVPN built into the Aus router. Then you have to import that file using...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    4) I am using Verizons 5G Home internet (White Square box) in passthru mode. Because they change their WAN IP frequently I setup a DDNS- DynDNS Pro account (Screenshot attached) Good. You will want to put the DDNS address as your server in the OpenVPN client. So it should look like this but...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    5) Do I need to change any settings inside the BI5 app itself. Like under Blue Iris Settings, Web Server tab? (Screen shot attached) Yes, you will most likely want to turn off the auto refresh WAN IP and manually set it to the LAN side static IP (192.168.x.x.) in the URL For #5.. please see...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    On the BI server machine, when I go to ping.eu, it shows: Your IP is 97.149.xxx.xxx (it whos the real numbers, I just masked them so I don't give it out here) If I turn off the OpenVPN button inside the router then run the test again, it shows the same IP address.

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Yes, I setup DynDNS and used mjXXXXX.dyndns.xxx. I configured that on my router under the DDNS sections and it accepted it. On my original post above, I attached a screenshot of the Blue Iris Android App where I entered the mjXXXXX.dyndns.xxx:81 under the WAN section. Using the forwarded port...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Up until this week, I really never studied the Connections tab in BI Status. this week got Connections from: Shadowserver.org as well as 185.242.226.40 security.criminalip.com. Well, last night I saw 2 IP addresses, looked them up and they were both in China. IP WHOIS Lookup - Lookup IP WHOIS...

    Who is ShadowServer.org and why are they on my list?

    So this is confusing. I have a Reolink Video Doorbell, purchased last year. In the Reolink camera software on the PC, its configured for a static IP address 192.168.50.151. In the Android software, same thing, shows IP address 151. In the Blue Iris camera software, it shows and configures...

    2023 best Blue Iris compatible Door bell (non-POE)

    So the RCA doorbell uses the existing door chime. Do you have to use the white door chime that comes with the Reolink? Looks like there is a $25 off coupon right now on the doorbell on Amazon.

    Blue Iris and Verizons 5G home internet- Static WAN IP

    I've never downloaded or worked with Blue Iris Tools... So I need to download BlueIris tools to the PC that has Blue Iris 5 installed on? What do I need to configure inside BI Tools in order for it to update the DDNS ?

    Blue Iris and Verizons 5G home internet- Static WAN IP

    So in order to get the DDNS to show the new WAN IP, I have to manually go into ipcamtalk DDNS, hit Update, Use current IP address, then it shows the new IP Address. I thought this was supposed to happen automatically? I did not sign up for any of the paid plans. Just the free one.

    Blue Iris and Verizons 5G home internet- Static WAN IP

    So Im not sure what I did wrong here. I had everything setup. It was working until Verizon assined a new WANIP address. Screenshots attached shows what I put in. I put the DDNS name (michaelJamesLVK.ipctddns.com) in the Blue Iris Android Google app and I could see the cameras and I could see...
