    looking for options for enabling remote access for CGNAT fiber connection

    ZeroTier has worked very well for me. I’m personally not familiar with Tailscale, since my ZT setup has worked so well, but I believe that they are similar upon function. ZT allows me to use windows Remote Desktop. The combination has worked very well.

    looking for options for enabling remote access for CGNAT fiber connection

    thanks for the ngrok suggestion. We are in the process of setting up a Zerotier solution. The site is remote, so we are only there sporadically to work on it!

    Zero Tier remote access to Blue Iris

    in the BI Webserver tab, you can select the ZT created adapter. If I remember correctly, once you select the ZT adapter (which has the ZT IP address in the name), it inserts the ZT IP in the external IP field.

    Zerotier and DNS

    I currently a have static IP address for my Blue Iris PC. I will be moving to an ISP who doesn't have a static offering. Do I need to change any settings for Zerotier? I used a No-Ip solution in the past, but haven't for a few years. Do I need to reinstate it for Zerotier to work?

    Zero Tier remote access to Blue Iris

    One tweak that you have to do in BI is to change the LAN adapter to use the one ZT creates.

    looking for options for enabling remote access for CGNAT fiber connection

    Many thanks for the suggestions and ideas. We will pursue these. I don't believe that the ISP has IPV6 available. We will work with these suggestions and hopefully have some discussions with the tech support team at the vendor. Many thanks!

    looking for options for enabling remote access for CGNAT fiber connection

    Thanks, I found this before posting my question here. It's provides great direction , and suggests that ZeroTier will resolve the issue when I migrate next week (thankfully). It doesn't seem to directly answer the question as to whether these solutions were specific to CGNAT based networks...

    looking for options for enabling remote access for CGNAT fiber connection

    Our area is moving to a fiber solution for internet. I was assisting my brother with his installation and we've run into a problem with remote access to cameras. The problem seems to be due to the ISP is using CGNAT where you don't have a routable IP address (even with a DDNS provider)...

    Howto reset OEM Dahua nvr

    I don’t know whether this will help or not. I do know that Lorex provides a service at their tech support line where, if you forget, or purchase a used DVR, they will reset a default psw on the unit if you give them a serial #. I’m not sure if Dahua does this or not.

    BI crashes - Advice Prior to Computer Rebuild

    Rereading this thread, it certainly sounds like a BI problem. Do you have a restore point from 3 months ago - before the problem?

    BI crashes - Advice Prior to Computer Rebuild

    A couple of suggestions to consider: 1) memory problem? If you have 2 sticks, remove one at a time and see if it disappears 2) power supply? Check the Event Manager to see if anything pops out. 3) heat? Run a heat monitor like “Core Temp”. If there’s a problem, Reset the processor with...

    Zero Tier remote access to Blue Iris

    I do this successfully, so it must be something simple..... Have you checked that the ZeroTier client on the phone hasn't "disabled" itself when using cellular? I have seen instances where the setting doesn't stick.

    Bird Feeder Hide

    I just re-read the thread, it might even be a camera problem. Maybe it's starting to fail. I'd swap out another camera as a first step to try to eliminate the camera as the problem. Maybe check the camera on a short cable and with the tester to see if you get different results. If the...

    Bird Feeder Hide

    ya, doesn't sound like a cable length issue. I would think that distance should be easy.

    could it be distance related? How long is the cable?

    need help getting BI to "discover" DVR cameras

    way to go! You're certainly fortunate to find a solution. I came to the conclusion that my Dvr was just too old. I ended up putting in my "old" box of parts. When the pain has worn off, I may just pull it out again and see if some new tricks might work. Thanks for the posting.

    Lorex N882A6

    Before jumping into a new Lorex DVR, consider the BI route. I had a DVR and then loaded BI onto an old Windows XP computer (that was running other software too). I ran BI, but it maxed it out. I ultimately purchased a refurbed HP and installed BI on it. It nicely accepted the input from my...

    Well my 3 year old lorex is dying, any suggestions on firmware upgrade or new device?

    I have found Lorex support on the phone to be quite good. Give them a call with your model and serial # they should be able to help.

    Considering moving to PC blue iris, versus current lorex nvr. Questions, comments invited.

    I also found that BI would drop cameras if the CPU was stressed. I could still see cameras via other means, but BI dropped them. When I upgraded my PC the problem went away. Check your CPU usage to make sure that it's not a potential problem.

    Another addiction

    While I consider myself an infant with Blue Iris, I've been running Homeseer for about 20 years. In past year I converted one of my Homeseer systems from HS 1.7 to HS 4. It was a bit of a "jump" since I too had a lot of custom scripts I had written over the years. It took me a couple of...
