I have 2 Blue Iris 5 installations on 2 different computers, both comptuers are on the same LAN. I'm trying to set up remote management from one BI5 pc to the other BI5 pc. I've searched videos and read the BI help file, but when I go to the status page, there is no remote tab for me to add another server like it shows in the help file. I have the user privleges set correctly. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Is remote management still an available feature in BI5?

It seems I do not have one. My user has a password, but the local console does not. I do not remember setting up an "admin" password within Blue Iris. And if I add a password to the local console, will I have to enter it every time open it?
 
So I enter in any password, the password to the BI user, or the Windows account login password? And when I do this, the remote tab will appear in the status window?
 
OK, I took the leap, entered a password for the local console, shut down the console, and restarted the service, and there is now a remote tab in the status window!

Thank you sir!

It says user must be admin and authorized for remote management. Both admin and remote management are checked for my login and local console account.
 
Ha! I had to uncheck remote management under the user, click OK to exit, then go back to user, re-check remote management, click OK to save, it pulled the configuration of the remote server and I can now see the other BI installation.
