Remote Access

[Zino]

I have been searching on the forum and have not found an solution.

I have BI V4

I have run the remote access wizard and it has no errors.
I went to the open port check tool (http://canyouseeme.org/) and it is successful.
i tried to view my cameras on my phone using the chrome web browser and no joy.



i cannot access it on my phone whether i am at home on wifi or away on 4G.

Welcome to the forum. I deleted your image with the canyouseeme info for your protection. You have the ip address visible. I checked it for you. Its working properly.
Dont use the phones browser, use the Blue iris mobile app. Remember to enter the port as :1050 after the ip address. Also, if you are trying to connect with your phone while its on the same network as blue iris AND you have a modem/router combo this may be a nat loopback issue. If you change to cellular it will work.

I'm getting your webpage login for BI.

It was listed twice and you only blacked it out once. If you intend to use blue iris, do yourself a HUGE favor and install the official blue iris app.

You will be able to, I was able to hit your page as well, its working fine. Are you using a modem/router combo? Are you entering the full ipaddress with the port in the browser?

just went to the app store ... $9.99 for the app and i see some mixed reviews .. one says it was trying to force him to buy new desktop software ... one says alerts don't work ...
What is the consensus on this forum?

The app is worth more than 9.99. The app is one of the best features of blue iris. Its allows easy video review, change profiles, push alerts, and more. The idiots writing those reviews are pissed because after a year of supporting BI3 AND BI4, the app only supports BI4 (its still works with BI3, you simply cannot view an alert directly, you have to go to the clips and view it from there). They are being petty because they are told to spend a whooping 30 dollars (cost of the upgrade to BI4). BI3 has been out for 4 years, they got their moneys worth and are being cheap. Consider the cost of your cams/pc etc 10 dollars is a joke. Whats the point of having vms if you dont cant remotely view it? You will not have a good experience even if you could get it working on a phone browser.

Thanks, the cost is not an issue here .. if it works and is good .. then as you say $10 is nothing ..

It works and its great.

What Fenderman said. It works, it's great, it's a deal at ten bucks. I use it about a dozen times a day. No worries.
