Blue Iris not retaining IP address after power loss
- Thread starter Sonnie
- Start date
Mike is there a reason why not having that box checked caused a problem in this case? I don’t have it checked at all and using Ubiquiti equipment I never had any issues like that. Is this something specific to TP-link equipment? I know Sonnie mentioned that these cameras weren’t on the Omada controller.
it has nothing to do with omada or tplink
not sure why you always try to find a network problem.
Like Mike says, its a blueiris problem. And if you search for it, you find people having the same problem without using any omada stuff.
In theory it should be a good feature because people use DHCP. Most consumer cams are dhcp by default.
So blueiris is able to follow the camera if the dhcp lease get revoked.
5.6.2 - September 23, 2022
5.6.2 - September 23, 2022 The Camera Discovery window now finds MAC addresses along with IP addresses. You also have the option of using the previous ONVIF discovery, or the new full LAN IP and port scan. With this, it should no longer be necessary to use the external website service Advanced...
Blue Iris is changing IP addresses randomly
Hello All I have a system with 4 cameras and recently 2 squares in BI are displaying the same camera. I change it back and a few hours/days there will be 2 the same again. Here you can see that at 12 noon two changed to 192.168.2.50. There is no cameras here. then about 40 min later they...
BI changed camera IP addresses
Updated to BI 5.6.2 the other day on one of my BI systems. Last night, the IP addresses of 2 of the cameras was changed in the BI configuration. I usually reserve .50-.200 for DHCP and the addresses in BI was configured for IP addresses in the DHCP range but I would never have put my cameras in...
New BI doesn't return the signal for some cameras after router/switch reboot, gets stuck at no signal, was fine on old BI
Hello! I am having an issue that I didn't have with BI 5.4.4 before upgrading to latest (5.7.9.4 and now on 5.7.9.7), when I for example restart the router or switch (for troubleshooting purposes) or disable the ethernet adapter, all my cameras go no signal (obviously) but the problem is that...

I appreciate the response. The BI setting obviously is network related (or we’d all have this problem) but my actual question was why would some folks have issues and others not? What circumstances or situations create this issue? We already know what the fix is but none of those threads explained why it occurs. I’m trying to understand more about BI and cameras even if just for my own setup so an honest answer would be helpful here.

All that's happening is that BI's associating an IP address with a given cam's MAC address. The problem should only happen if BI had at some point seen a camera at a different IP address vs what's last used/now wanted. Been a while and I don't recall now exactly why/how it gets out of sync and wants to use the old IP address. It may be using what it saw when first added but I wouldn't swear to that. I think that may have been later tweaked some too given that many had problems and I didn't keep up with the details.
I had a issue like this last year, might be this as well:

Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR
All, I’m back in the saddle again with another review, this time for the EmpireTech PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR. Thanks to @EMPIRETECANDY for providing the unit in return for an unbiased no holds barred review. Good to see a new 8K on the block for testing and this time one of the first to...
When did I say that? If I did, I miscommunicated... sorry. OR... maybe that was in another thread back when I did not have the camera connected to network and was pushing them straight to the PC second port, which I changed and now using a VPN and plan to create another VLAN as well. The controller sees the entire network. While I set the static IP in each camera, I also set it in the Omada controller as static.
No worries, I just misunderstood. I think it was post #17 that threw me off where you mentioned accessing the cameras and the controller was out of the picture. Makes perfect sense how you have it configured because it would be a pain to pull off all that VLAN routing without it. Sounds like you’re really set up well now.
