    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?

    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...

    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

    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 )

    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?

    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

    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?

    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...

    Bad POE Switch?

    So I just did a test. I just bought a BV-Tech 4 port POE switch and when my camera is connected to it (no matter which port), it constantly goes offline and re-connects. Within Blue Iris, I can see the bitrate fluctuating between 130ish and 0 even though I have that camera's bitrate set to CBR...

    Question on granting one camera access to a user

    In short, I installed a camera at my front door to cover walk ups, the street and my neighbor's driveway. I got him to pay for it all and now I want to grant him 24/7 access to just that camera so he can monitor his precious vehicles (don't ask). Is it possible in BI to limit my neighbor to...

    Installed a new 4-port POE switch and cameras went offline.

    So this is the first time I've ever used a POE switch (BV-Tech 4-port POE +2 ethernet uplink ports) for my cameras and I thought it was plug and play but now the cameras are offline. Looked for directions from BV-Tech but nothing there to help me. I have an AT&T router modem and have the switch...

    I need help again with logging into my WiFi Amcrest Camera

    Alright so I know in the past I've seen this problem asked before (probably by me) but for some reason, I still can't get the IE browser (old version) to open my camera. I reset the camera and used the Amcrest app to get the camera working on my WiFi. I can see the camera output in the Amcrest...

    What can I do if Amcrest re-sold my license and can't log in?

    So my PC crashed and took my Amcrest software with it. I obviously have the DVD and serial number it came with but because I didn't have the chance to deactivate the serial number before the crash, I can't sign back in because it said both licenses have been used. Problem is, I never used the...

    Can I have a POE switch downstream of powerline ethernet adapter?

    For some reason I can't get it through my thick head whether or not the camera has to have power from the POE switch before it can be plugged into the powerline adapter to send the signal downstairs.

    What's the best camera type for an exterior wall that covers front door walk up?

    So, I'm looking for a camera that'll mount to the wall right next to my front door. I was looking at another Amcrest dome camera but some have mentioned that by being mounted vertically, rain drops both wet and dried up could eventually block a clear view as I don't have a covered front porch...

    Motion vs trigger question

    First off, I figured this topic was better suited for "General Talk" than "Troubleshooting" as I don't think this is a problem but more of a misunderstanding of the BI software. So I hope I choose the right forum. Alright so I've been trying to tweak my outdoor Amcrest camera (IP2M-844E) to be...

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. In the last couple of days I've been having trouble with my Amcrest outdoor camera and now I just launched BI and my license is gone. I bought the full $60 version only 2-3 months ago on Amazon. As far a the camera goes, it's been constantly re-tripping...

    Amcrest camera not triggering

    Hi All, I'll get right to the point.I have my new outdoor Amcrest camera recording the driveway and street. I have it set up to trigger all in zone A which is everything besides the trees in case the wind blows the leaves. It easily records every car coming down the street as soon as it comes...

    Blue Iris: error 8000274c - No Camera Signal

    Hi All, So this has happened a couple times in the past week and now my only camera (Amcrest IP2M-841S) is not connecting within the BI desktop program or Android app. I'm running 4.6.4.6 on Windows 10 Pro and have not done any updates to my computer, BI or camera that would cause this plus, it...

    No longer receiving push notification to phone app

    Hi All, I seemed to have lost the alert "push notification to phone app" I was getting when the camera detects motion. I've been running on the same version (4.4.9.4) and it was working a few days ago. I've quadruple-checked my settings and get test alerts to come through to my phone but when...

    Does recording to local HD on my PC using iternet data?

    Sorry if this has been covered. I did a search but couldn't find the topic and I'm confused when data is actually used against my monthly data cap of 1TB. I have a family of four and we no longer have cable so we're streaming a few hundred GBs per month between Netflix, our phones and tablets...

    N3wb from East Tennessee

    Hey Ya'll. I'm kidding, I don't talk like that. Originally from Miami Florida, I transplanted to East Tennessee in 99 for a job in TV (behind the scenes). I love tech stuff and am big into still photography, videography, video editing as that's my profession but never got into surveillance...

    How do you program BI to move a camera when a profile is selected?

    So I'm trying make it so that when I either manually choose a BI profile or it's selected as part of a schedule, the camera moves to that position right away and not only after a trigger. I see the option for the camera to move there when triggered but if the camera is pointed at a different...
