    Ahh, I must have an outdated version of the app that doesn’t have that option. Thanks, I will get an up to date version.

    Review-Dahua IPC-HDBW4231F-E2-M Dual Starlight Cam

    Has anyone figured out how to control the second channel with the sunrise/sunset app? Just entering the IP for host name only seems to control channel 1. I assume channel 2 needs a unique entry for this but not sure how to modify it. Thanks!

    Double NAT with Comcast fiber modem preventing VPN server for BI remote access

    A follow up incase anyone else battles this... I set up a port forward through the Xfinity router using this guide, set up the openvpn server on my Asus router, and I can now connect remotely using my Xfinity dynamic public ip in the vpn config file. The ddns function on my Asus router is...

    Double NAT with Comcast fiber modem preventing VPN server for BI remote access

    Thanks a ton for the ideas, I will play around with this later. There is only one device, nothing before or after it, and it connects to an actual fiber line that my router can not accept as far as I know.

    Double NAT with Comcast fiber modem preventing VPN server for BI remote access

    We are part of a small test bed for a new fiber into the home internet service from Comcast / Xfinity. I am trying to setup a VPN server on my Asus RTAC68U router for blue iris but am getting an invalid IP address error during the DDNS step in this video. It gives me a note of "This router may...

    Blue Iris UI3

    New ui3 user here, very stoked with how well it works on my iPhone and our newer Samsung smart tv. We have a slightly older one as well, 6300 series Samsung circa 2015, that is having trouble keeping up. Only jpeg options for quality settings and it struggles to get 1fps with 13 cameras...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE not letting me leave gateway blank for dual LAN

    I am trying to follow the wiki footnotes for setting up a blue iris server with dual lan. It says all cameras should be configured with no gateway but my cameras are forcing me to leave at least 1.0.0.1 and when I go to save it says ip address does not match gateway and won't save any changes...

    How to mount the centralized equipment?

    A server rack was my original thought, but what to do with the PC/monitor/keyboard/mouse? I can't seem to find anything rack mountable with the recommended processors. And I'm not super hot on the idea of switching internals over to a rack mount case given what they cost and the potential for...

    How to mount the centralized equipment?

    I already have a bunch of a/v, networking, and home automation equipment that is a mess in my mech room. Blue iris and a 16ish cam setup is going to add to the mess with a bunch more cat6 drops, a Poe switch and a pc. How are you guys mounting all this hardware in an organized fashion...

    Sharing conduit with other systems, what is ok?

    Obviously 120v and higher cannot share conduit with Ethernet cable for these cameras, but what can? It would be convenient for my setup to run my cat6 cable with a coax from my satellite tv, a coax from my weboost LTE signal booster, and a pair of speaker cables that head to outdoor speakers...

    Sealing conduit to PFA130-E waterproof junction box

    What is the proper way to do this? I am using a 3/4” pvc conduit and have found that male threaded slip on ends in that size thread into the openings on the side of this box. But how to properly seal them?? Teflon tape, the gasket from the plug, silicone, etc... Looking for this to be done...

    Noob network layout and hardware selection help

    Ready to pull the trigger on a 12-16 cam BI setup, all POE. Nothing is purchased yet except one cam for testing purposes. I have an existing home wired/wifi network which consists of modem>router>unmanaged switch>cat5e. I understand I will need a POE switch that all the cameras will connect...
