Is it possible to access home PC for Blue Iris web view and via Remote Desptop Conn.

[rishisathe]

Hello,

I have port forwarding setup for my home pc running Blue Iris and I can access Blue Iris remotely from Web Browser and also using iOS app.
However I am not able to connect to my home PC using Remote desktop connection. Please let me know what needs to be done in order to access the PC using RDP.

Thanks,


Rishi

You need to setup port forwarding for rdp, I would change the default port to something else. Its not the most secure method. I would setup a vpn, or use something free like teamviewer.

Thanks. I will setup an additional port for RDP. else try VPN in option. I just saw a new update from Netgear regarding that. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29826

TeamViewer is free for private use... No ports to open! Also works with lower bandwidth then rdp, you should try it.

Been happy with chrome remote desktop for awhile now... Anyone know how TeamView compares to chrome?

Chrome is a nice freebie, I have seen it fail me when team-viewer didn't, but overall very nice.

+1 for teamviewer. I have it running on a few dozen machines/servers/POS's scattered around the country. I find it more stable and quicker to log into then RDP and it has great notifications as to when things go offline or come back online after remote reboots.

havent tried the chrome but the downside of teamviewer is that it leaves a dialog box on the remote machine after your logoff..so you are using the machine to display video someone has to manually close the dialog.
