    Foscam Keeps Loosing Connection

    My cameras are all outside of the DHCP pool. They're assigned by my Opnsense router. But I've ran it that way for years. I think the problem was within BI. Somehow taking the camera down and putting it back online caused BI to insist it had different IP than what was assigned. I dunno...

    Foscam Keeps Loosing Connection

    Well.... I got it working. I knew the camera wasn't broke. It showed up fine in Foscam VMS utility. So I kept fiddling with it. Some background... I have all of my cameras setup with static IPs. The IPs are in a set range 10.0.0.201-10.0.0.224. I got it to work by resetting the camera to...

    Foscam Keeps Loosing Connection

    I've checked and unchecked. I've even factory reset the camera. The camera is being assigned the correct IP. It's set to DHCP and it's showing 10.0.0.207. Which matches in Blue Iris and Opnsense

    Foscam Keeps Loosing Connection

    OK... I'm a long time Blue Iris user. I've had no real problems running the software for years. My setup is 24IP cams of various makes/models all connected by ethernet. Out of the 24 I've got 4 Foscam RS4 PTZ cameras in March 2024. They've operated flawlessly. They show in the Foscam software...

    Blue Iris Admin Crash

    Fixed the issue. Had to edit the registry and turn all the update values to 0. I was able to start the Admin Panel and get passed the bug.

    Blue Iris Admin Crash

    I've ran BI for years and have never had an issue. I saw there is a registry hack to fixing the auto check. I normally don't upgrade but I've always auto checked just to see if anything new came out. That'll change from now on LOL

    Blue Iris Admin Crash

    SO I updated to Blue Iris v5.9.9.87 on 10/2/2025. I have BI check for updates on startup. So now when I start the BI Admin, it checks for an update. It says there is an update to v5.9.9.88 (10/3/2025). But... here's the kicker. If I agree to the update the Admin crashes. If I ignore the update...

    is tailscale safter than a VPN?

    I use it. I just upgraded my firewall appliance this weekend. I'm running Opnsense on a mini PC. Tailscale was quicker and way easier to setup than OpenVPN (which I had been using for years on another router). I was up and running in about 30min. I may go back to OpenVPN at some point but so far...

    NGROK Questions

    I'll give that a try! I've ran into it a couple places (a couple Holiday Inn resorts). I usually just hot spot my laptop to my phone for a work around.

    NGROK Questions

    Sounds like I'll just stick with Open VPN for now. I was hoping to figure out something different because some places (hotels etc,) block Open VPN connections on their networks.

    NGROK Questions

    I see a lot of updates pertaining to NGROK on Blue Iris. What is NGROK for Blue Iris? What is the benefits vs something like open vpn etc. Is there an updated setup guide? I know absolutely nothing. But I do like to access my Blue Iris remotely when I'm away.

    Am I doing this right? (Continuous Recording)

    My CPU usage went down actually. I was running 12-18% CPU and now I run 2-3%. It will jump up if I have a bunch of triggered cams but it never goes above 25%. I run 22 cams on an I-5 w/ 32 gig ram and 12tb hd
