Ok thanks. I'll see what happens when the time comes. In the meantime I bought 2 ring battery stick up cams with solar chargers a couple weeks ago. They have been working pretty darn good and will be sufficient for the rest of our time here and the first month or so at the next place. They...

Ok awesome. Thank you so much! Been a bit stressed about it!

Not sure yet. We currently have internet through Centurylink an old Centurylink router. Centurylink is available there. As is Spectrum. Both places are rural locations in the country.

I have 2 hikvision cameras and a Hikvision NVR. Been running the cameras since 2015 and they still work perfectly so want to keep using them. For many years I ran them with blue iris on a desktop, but after my desktop crashed (only used it for the cameras) I just purchased a NVR to run them and...

ok, thanks!

Do I need to change this now in BI also? In the Options -> Web Server tab -> External IP address -> do I now put in the Dyndns name address I set up? Or do I leave it as is with the external IP numbers and set to check for router external IP automatically every 15 min?

Ok, cool. It just seemed too easy to get it all setup! I usually end up with all kinds of problems so I thought this was too easy and suspicious that it worked right off the bat. :laugh: Thanks!

I purchased the yearly subscription with dyndns. I downloaded and set up the DYN Updater. It seems to be working. I can access the BI remote viewer using the dyndns address I set up. I am not so sure i entered the correct IP in the DynDNS settings though. I was a little confused about that. I...

Yea, not happy it changed so soon. (only had these cameras about a month) Having to change all the different remote access bookmarks on different laptops/phones is a pain if it needs to be done this often!

So, my external IP changed, while we were away for the weekend, which means I had no access to the cameras remotely all weekend. Don't want that to happen again!!! So is DynDNS.org the way to go to prevent this? I am not sure if I can set a static external IP in my router. I have a lynksys...

It is a DS-2CD2120-I. I am VERY happy with these cameras, after first trying Foscam, which gave us terrible videos. code2...In the 27 years we have lived on this property we have seen many wolves. (Very few have collars around here). We even had what we think was a male and female pair that we...

Just 4 days after installing our new Hikvision cams we scored. Capturing wildlife that walk through our property is exactly why we wanted them, and this is a good one. The jury is still out on if it is a wolf or coyote, hard to tell for sure, but either way I am thrilled with the location of...

So glad you got yours figured out too. I know how much we rely on the notifications to let us know if there is any motion out there! And thanks for the info on the lightscreen. Another program to check out :) I didn't take the time to get familiar with 8.1. Bought the new desktop computer...

I even mustered up the courage to go out there and walk around in the dark by myself to test them. It worked!

Ok, I have lowered the make time. I will work on the duplicate camera setup in the morning. My brain is fried for tonight! Thank you, thank you! I don't think I would have slept tonight without some sort of answers to this.

Oh my goodness THANK YOU! See, this is what happens when we don't completely understand what the settings really mean :redface-new: I now understand the pretrigger from your explanation and yes all my fps is at 15. So I will get that changed. I do understand now too (somewhat!) what you are...

Ok, installed my photo editing program so I had something to paste screen shots into and crop them. Let me know if need any other screen shots. Hopefully you will see something in these that is, like you said, simply a wrong setting somehow.

aaron1953, it is not sending the emails either so I don't think it is just related to the phone. (?)

I really appreciate the offer to help but am not comfortable giving access to my computer network to a stranger, which is what think that would be doing. Hope you understand. And thanks for the tip on classic shell. I will have to check it out.

I am at my witts end with this for tonight. To top it off, this new computer is windows 8.1 and I struggle with it constantly. I hate it. So needless to say I feel like an idiot not even being able figure out how to take screen shots on it! Plus, I have no photo editing program on this one yet...

yea, I have checked all those basics several times. Everything looks correct. Both profiles for both cameras have alerts and motion activated.

Did the update and still nothing. I am at a loss. I keep looking at all the settings and I am not seeing anything that looks incorrect. Don't know what else I can do.

I am running 4.0.3.1X64 and it is saying version 4.0.4.3 is available.

I did have a popup that there was an update available. I did not download it though.

I rebooted the computer and still not sending alerts. I adjusted the sensitivity this morning is all. When I left for work this morning it did send alerts when it caught my car leaving, but it has not been working since.

Just to clarify.....I did a test send for each and the test send went through. Still not getting alerts automatically with motion.

Ok, I tested each and all came through. Email to both myself and husband. SMS text message to both of us, and push alert on my phone.

Sigh.....ever since purchasing Blue Iris a couple weeks ago, along with the app for my phone, all the alerts were working wonderfully. As of this morning all of the alerts have quit working. Everything had been working just fine and I don't recall making any changes that would have affected...

Here are some day/night sample shots from the cameras. We ended up putting them both in different locations then the Foscams were because they have such a wider view. The back camera I have the internal IR off and am using external IR lights. The front camera has the internal IR on, but there is...
