    Remote Access failure setting up Stunnel

    Hi All. So I know I've asked questions a couple of years ago pertaining to this issue but I think I gave up trying to get it working. I just added a new camera and wanted to try and see my cameras when I'm not home. When on wifi, the app gets into my cameras but outside of the network, it fails...

    Issue with JPEG snapshots

    Hi All. I'm about to replace all my floors in my kitchen and wanted to do a time-lapse using my Amcrest camera and BI. In Blue Iris, I have it set up to take a frame every 10 seconds for the weekend but when I watch the windows folder, once there are 60 files, it starts back at one snapshot and...

    AT&T is reporting that my cameras are using data even though I record to my own computer drives. Why?

    I have three Amcrest, one ReoLink, and a Dahua. All the UPnP settings in each camera are defaulted to off (box not checked).

    AT&T is reporting that my cameras are using data even though I record to my own computer drives. Why?

    All my cameras record to my local PC drives so I'm assuming that the router is the only way to get my cameras not only to those drives but also the BI program that runs all of it. Am I doing it wrong?

    AT&T is reporting that my cameras are using data even though I record to my own computer drives. Why?

    My three POE cameras are plugged into the powered switch just so I can get them to the router/modem and then the other two are on the wifi. I access all the cameras on BI through my PC in the house. I don't access the cameras from any other computer outside the house but set up Stunnel so that I...

    AT&T is reporting that my cameras are using data even though I record to my own computer drives. Why?

    For now, I'm just blocking their wifi access using the AT&T app that has control of my network. That's probably why the cameras still show up normal in BI since that's really inside my network. As far as open ports, I have all closed except the one I set up for Stunnel fakeout. I guess since...

    AT&T is reporting that my cameras are using data even though I record to my own computer drives. Why?

    Hi All. Network question. I just got a new Arris router/modem for the house and was trying out AT&Ts Smart Home Manager app. It shows my cameras using a ton of data which are a mix of wired and wireless. Three POE cameras --> switch--> router and two others are wi-fi. As an alternative for now...

    stunnel

    I just got a new router and added BI to the one port I want to be opened. I can see the cameras on the BI app when I'm on the home wifi but when I leave the house, the server won't open. What did I forget to setup?

    Someone slap me. I can't seem to re-connect my wifi Amcrest cameras.

    Hi All, I've done this 100s of times but for some reason, BI doesn't see my wifi cameras. I changed my router password and reset both cameras back to factory. Sometimes the Amcrest app I use to bring them back into the network doesn't recognize the custom IP addresses I give them. So now they...

    Question about upgrading to Version 5

    What's funny is I found that guide before posting and read right over the upgrade section. What a dummy.

    Question about upgrading to Version 5

    Hi All, I'm on 4.8.6.3 and everything is running fine but I'm assuming that means I'm not on version 5 and won't be until I renew/upgrade. So, do I have to purchase at full price to jump to v5 or will the "Extended Service" @ $29.95 get me there? Ty

    Issue with Amcrest POE camera only working through an injector and not a POE switch

    So I have 5 cameras, three of which are POE and two that are wireless. The Dahua and Reolink work fine plugged into the Gigabit powered POE switch but ever since I've had the cameras, the Amcrest POE camera, it will only work if it's plugged into my TP-Link injector. No matter which port I tired...

    Signal Loss ( error: 8000271d_socket error 10013 )

    It's actually more than a camera issue because when I disconnect the VPN, I can't even get into my router to view or change settings and as soon as I turn it back on, I can get in. I think I tried a hard reset of my At&t router-modem a couple of weeks ago but I guess it didn't fix the problem...

    Signal Loss ( error: 8000271d_socket error 10013 )

    Alright soooo, not sure why but the solution to this problem is that the cameras only come back online when my Nord VPN is connected. How can that be? As soon as I disconnect Nord, the cameras go offline within 15 seconds. I'm ok with this for privacy but if connected to Nord, I can't see my...

    Signal Loss ( error: 8000271d_socket error 10013 )

    I thought about mice chewing through cables in the crawl space but the wireless cams are offline too and those are in the house where I can see the power cable connected to them. They both have power. I'll check the windows update.

    Signal Loss ( error: 8000271d_socket error 10013 )

    Hi All, So one day last week, all my cameras suddenly lost signal within BI and they're still that way now. Sometimes one or two will sporadically come back on but mostly, they all stay in signal lost mode. I have 3 POE cameras and 2 wireless running in/through my provided AT&T router and have...

    Blue Iris partial playback on 1 of 5 cameras.

    Hi All, First off, I'm running the latest version 4 software (4.8.6.3) just in case there's a bug I don't know about. The problem is with only one of my cameras which is a Dahua Pro Series HDW4433C-A that just started having playback issues. I can watch it live in BI and it triggers instantly...

    What are the steps to monitor a camera from another location in Blue Iris?

    About to order two Asus routers for my house and theirs. Do I get just a router with onboard VPN since they have a separate modem from Charter? For me, I have the all-in-one Pace router from AT&T so I know I'll need the combo one. Even though I have my one port going through Stunnel, it's...

    What are the steps to monitor a camera from another location in Blue Iris?

    Mine does not and you helped me big time a couple months ago to at least set up my rig to at least Stunnel. I will be checking her router tonight and think hers is a Netgear she rents from Charter/Spectrum.

    What are the steps to monitor a camera from another location in Blue Iris?

    Viewing just a single camera through their wifi. I'd just like to operate in BI like the rest of my cameras. May be just a reeeeealy strong password?

    What are the steps to monitor a camera from another location in Blue Iris?

    So I currently have a 4 camera set up with Blue Iris on my home network. My PC runs Blue Iris and all cameras record to external drives. On Saturday, my 78 year old father is going home after 3 months in the hospital and he's got a serious case of hospitalitis and has been yanking out his cath (...

    Issue with Android Text Alerts

    So everything has been going fine with my cameras and BI and recently, installing stunnel but for some reason in the last few days, I've been getting a "mismatchsernerid" error when I try to send or test the "Send push notification to mobile app" within the BI Alert tab. I can still send texts...

    HTTPS/Stunnel not showing up in web server test

    Okay close enough to my situation except I'm not getting any errors on that one page. I am however getting failed tests on the router and remote access sections of the wizard but still have the access I need to log in from my BI app. Just want to make sure stunnel is doing its thing and that...

    Do you get a successful test in the https/stunnel box when you run the wizard?

    HTTPS/Stunnel not showing up in web server test

    Hi All, okay so I believe I have stunnel up and running. If the service is running on my PC, I can log on through the BI app (WAN address https:// enabled) and see my cameras while outside my home network. If I turn stunnel service off, I can't log in remotely. That's the only way I know of now...

    Is there a way to trigger a geofence profile outside of BI?

    I'm going to tackle VPN tunnel next but knew stunnel was safer than http. Thanks!

    Is there a way to trigger a geofence profile outside of BI?

    That's what I get for being the only Android owner in the house but Apple sharing on their devices would at least save me $20. As far as open ports, I just got stunnel up and running so if I got Geofence working, that ought to be safe enough right?

    Is there a way to trigger a geofence profile outside of BI?

    So I want to use geofencing to trigger home and away profiles but, I have 3 other family members in the house that don't have the BI app and would never open it if they did. Regardless, I'd like to get everyone's phones set up to trigger the BI profiles and would rather not spend the $30 on BI...
