blue iris ipone app

[mike4512]

Hi all i am new here and recently purchased and amcrest outdoor bullet camera and have been useing the 15 day free trial for iris.I want to use the mobile iphone app as well.when i open the app its asking me for the 10 digit license number.Does that mean i need to purchase the full version of iris before i can use the app.If someone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly apprciated.

I believe the license number will just lookup your IP info for you. The app will still work.

In blue iris you need to go to options and then users tab. Create a user there

Why create an app if you need blue iris running on Pc all the time to acces it on mobile phone.if that's the case this software is useless to me as my phone is my Pc.

Do you know what blue iris is? it records the video streams and other things, if you just want to view on your phone download tinycam.

you could set up the cameras to email you stuff, if you have all one brand like dahua or hikvision you can buy their app and get notifications on it, but I think you still need an NVR, I don't think you are going to get notifications like push unless you have a box running all the time at home.

Because as the app description says it's made to be used with the server...It's a fully functional VMS....That's the way it works..Why not use the amcrest mobile app which should allow push notifications since they are rebranded Dahua camera...no other app will do what you want without a server...
