    iOS app not connecting when on VPN; can login to BI machine through browser though

    I connect fine to the iOS app (v 1.63.10...latest) when at home on my LAN wifi. However, when I log in on my iPhone over VPN (OpenVPN server in my Synology Router), the app won't connect. Over the same connection, I can login through safari to the static ip address of my BI server (with port)...

    Blue Iris and Samsung/Hanwha NVR Setup

    Limiting space per drive, not per-folder basis

    Gripe warning: I dont understand why BI has option to limit space allocated on a per-folder basis. That isn't the reality for folders storing video, which is dynamic. Folders do not have space constraints in normal PC situations, the drives do. I'd be limiting my space if I limited say folders...

    Multi-channel Analog to IP video encoder that plays nice with BI?

    Hello - In the process of installing a bunch of new Hikvision IP cameras that are recording back to a dedicated Blue Iris "server". The only problem is that I also have to replace eight (8) analog Bosch LTC 0455/21 cameras with IP cameras and unfortunately that means having the time to pull...

    Hello!

    Hello. First timer here. I have enjoyed reading many links here. Very informative and helpful group. I'm hoping I can get some advice on what to do with a set of Lorex cameras we have and the NVR has died. Is this a situation in which we can use Blue Iris with our Windows computer? And if...

    BI and camera selections

    I am considering a Blue Iris solution for my new home when it's built. I haven't used any CCTV systems before. I know you can get purpose-built NVR's that have their brand of cameras. From what I can gather, each camera can be connected to via its IP address and from there various...

But I want to ask about my point of view in this. Up to what I can see, virtualization is just not simply recommended because of not having the...
