Using Blue Iris with multiple sites

[Brian Conley]

I have three different sites I want to setup with Cameras. Site one will have 5 cameras, site two will have 7 cameras, and site three will have 4 cameras.
I plan to purchase a PC and install Blue Iris at each site to capture the cameras at that particular site. However, I wanted to know if I can view all the cameras that are being recorded at different sites on one machine? Can I access the stored video from each site and be able to play it back?

Welcome to the forum..you will need to access all systems cameras independently if you want to view recorded video..for live video, you can technically stream all you BI streams to a single machine running blue iris, some other player or simply use an android stick and run ipcamviewer..the quality will depend on your connection speeds..
The release notes for version 4 indicate an upcoming windows client that but I am unsure when that will be released.

Hello, I am new to this forum and unable to find the answer I am looking for. I have two sites each with 3 cameras currently. I was told and I read I can do a direct stream from one server to the other.
The issue: Site A has cameras that would like to be viewed at Site B on BI. The router will not open a port (ex. 82) and forward it as a different port (ex. 83).
The solution?: The best solution I have come up with is do a live stream from Site A to Site B for each camera. This will make upgrades easier and faster for myself.
The question: How do I set up a stream? Which style would be easier (ex. Windows Media, Flash Media Live Encoding)
Systems: Both BI installations are version 4.
Servers: Both locations have static IP Address.

@Tomcat16Eagle welcome to the forum! You can use the path /h264/cam1 to get a Raw H.264 stream from BLue Iris that you can pull into another instance....select rtsp from the dropdown..enter your blue iris server credentials...
change "cam1" to the cameras short name..

Hello Fenderman. Thank you for your help. I thought it wasn't working at first but then realized the router wasn't configured. That you again for the help.
