2 Server

[josephny]

I've really been struggling with this.

I have site A running BI5 with 10 cameras, and

I have site B running BI5 with 8 cameras.

Is there a way to connect them? Associate them? Make them a master/slave?

The goal is to be able to view all 18 camera from offsite (call it site C) without logging into 2 different remote servers.

Thank you!

Have you read the BI help file about Remote Connection?
Setup a 3rd BI system, then use that instance to remotely connect to both A-b systems.
Or
Use UI3, to connect to both systems and put each in their own browser tab.

Thank you.

Yes, I have. I surely could be missing something (no expert here). I've been using BI for a number of years and regularly use UI3 to monitor, and VNC or Teamviewer to remotely config.

I've seen mention of BI servers working together (but at different locations), and that's what I'm curious about.

What I do is run site to site VPNs with all three locations. I use Peplink routers for this.

Absolutely. I have Wireguard across all my sites, so I can open a browser tab to 192.168.x.x:81.

Makes things very nice indeed.

I split the cameras across the servers in 2 different locations and have a browser window from each.

Exactly what I refered to. It's not hard to setup one BI system to connect to another BI system in another location.
You already have it setup so your using VNC, so your halfway there.
READ the help file in BI on Remote Connections.

I don’t see anything about connecting server to server.

It's called "REMOTE MANAGEMENT" (wow...a very apt title) on page 176 of the document that you linked.

I have a second server on a VPN which just covers one camera for the moment. Remote management works ok.

What would be nice if is the feature allowed you to see all the remote cameras on the same UI.

Got it -- thank you all for your patience and help.

Can I switch between "local" and remote" views from a UI3 view (browser tab)?
