I have three instances of BI running at different locations. We had an IP change at one location, first time in a year, on my iphone I click the get IP and it comes back with "Key Not Found". I tried the other two locations, same thing.

Any idea what's going on?

It sounds like your iPhone App forgot the BI installation key; I believe that your problem may be at the App lever...not the BI server level.

So are you saying delete the app, reinstall or that the first 5 / last 5 needs to be deleted?

No need, just input your product key into the app and it will find your IP.

Nope, doesn't do it. I know you need to input the first five and last five. I have had that working since it first came out. Now though all three systems give the same error.

I am thinking it's the app on my phone bc for all three to give it doesn't sound right.

Me too, this morning. Must be a problem with Perspective’s servers.

I got it working by going into the app and hit "Forget Server" and reinstalling them. :wtf:

It's a problem with BI servers, I had this issue today with all my installs. On the phone edit the connection and "de-select Lookup Key at each logon" then manually enter your WAN IP and Port.
Hint: It's easier to Delete and Re-scan the QR code, as when it adds the new connection, adds with the latest IP and doesn't have lookup Key at each logon selected"

Back up with no intervention from me. I was waiting a bit to see if something was reset on the server side of BI.

I have the same issue today. Not impressed as the reason I have been a long term BI fan is I thought we avoid server dependence at BI or any cloud hosting of elements. Why do they need to do this as the key authentication should be locked to your local machine once done. If BI servers are down or hacked does that mean we then can’t access our cameras through the app

Mine was also down but it looks like the issue may have just been resolved as the iOS app now connects and displays alerts.
