    Is it time for a new PTZ?

    Thanks... that makes sense. They disable the function to protect basic functionality!

    Blueiris NVR conundrum

    I have been using Blue Iris for about 4-5 years. I started with a PC-based automation system and added software and cameras. I bought a DVR that was to be used as a standalone. It's still running fine. I know use it as the front end to Blue Iris where it reduces the cabling required since...

    Webcam from another PC to BI

    I have since implemented a second BI license to handle this due to bandwidth usage...... but I was able to incorporate cameras at a remote location into my BI system at home. As long as you have access to the IP address of the camera at the remote site, you can include it as a camera in the...

    Does Code Project have a 32 bit version?

    I have a friend who is running Blue Iris on a 32 bit machine. Is there a way to run Code Project on it?

    Fine-tuning a trigger at night

    Gotcha, thanks for explaining. My biggest problems are light (mostly sun variation through trees) and spiders in IR. If we could solve that, I’d be tickled!

    Fine-tuning a trigger at night

    I thought that the idea of “static image” was to eliminate this type of alert.

    Trouble installing UI3 on desktop

    I must admit that I'm not sure that ZT needs to be involved while on the same LAN. I was thinking that ZT was policing access to the PC and wouldn't let it through unless it was "ZT authorized". That may not be true while on the same LAN. I do know, that even when local I use the ZT IP...

    you will also need to authorize access to the PC you're trying to "see" in Zerotier.

    Is it possible to "intercept" the signal from a cheap IP camera?

    Oh well, I'm not sure what I'll use it for. I'll have to figure out how I can protect it on the network to use it. thanks

    Is it possible to "intercept" the signal from a cheap IP camera?

    I guess I just don't understand how the cloud-based ones work. I was assuming that there must be a video feed coming from the camera that isn't available without internet connection. I was hoping I could intercept the raw signal. Sounds like it can't be done. Thanks for your help!

    Is it possible to "intercept" the signal from a cheap IP camera?

    Is it possible to "intercept" the signal from a cheap IP camera that doesn't support RTSP/ONVIF? I received one for free and as expected, it can't be pulled into BI. I am thinking that there may be a way to connect it to an NVR directly. Is it possible to cut the ethernet cable, identify...

    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

    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.
