    Reinstall BI on replacement PC

    Hello, my old PC that was running 5.5.8.2 has crashed - and I have a replacement PC. I want to install BI over there (I have the backup file from the old PC). I can't find the installer file though - I saw the links in https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/older-bi-key.85014/ that took me to Blue Iris...

    Camera not recording at all

    Hello, using BlueIris on my Windows 11 PC - I added an IP camera to the network, and tried to get it to record based on motion. I can't seem to get it to record any activity at all. I can manually trigger the camera (right click/trigger) and it records, but it doesn't record based on any...

    View Q-see cameras using Blue IRIS

    Thank you. I have it set up the same way - and the VPN is set up. However, I can't get some apps on Android (like tinycam, or microsoft remote desktop) to recognize that I'm on the VPN. Anyway, spent a very very long time trying to figure that out with Unifi support and they (and I) gave up.

    View Q-see cameras using Blue IRIS

    Hello, I have a Q-see NVR with 8 PoE cameras on it. I'd like to be able to view these cameras remotely (when I'm outside the LAN) - in the past, I was using TinyCam with port forwarding on my router. I've disabled port forwarding, and have been struggling to get a VPN set up to allow me to VPN...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you. I spend this morning first trying to just remove the ISP modem/router, and making the UDM the main router/gateway. Unfortunately, that led to my STBs completely losing their mind, and TV service being disabled. Tried to put the ISP modem/router back, but in bridge mode. STBs still...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks - looks like I was missing 2 ports (1701/1812) - but unfortunately, even with those ports being forwarded, the connection is not successful. I will need to look at possibly running openvpn on my PC instead

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    So, in theory, if I move my NVR to be under the IOT network in my UDM VLAN, would keeping the ISP router/switch active as the gateway router help add an additional layer of security for my devices? (since all my devices are now under the UDM). This assumes that I can get my UDM VPN set up of...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you so much! I think the double natting is causing this VPN issue. Ubiquiti support is also helping troubleshoot

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    You are right - I should try it out and see what it actually does. I was reading/watching the reviews of the UDM and one reviewer had mentioned he had run into that performance issue. So, I didn't try it out. I'll give it a shot. Before I implement the solution though, I still need to get my VPN...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I can't seem to get UDM VPN to work unfortunately. The reason I'm trying to VPN into the UDM VLANs is because from there, I can traverse to the 192.168.1.x network to access the NVR. I didn't put the NVR on the UDM router because the UDM router is doing deep packet inspection - and with 8 video...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you - I should have been clearer - the ISP equipment (router) has a 4 port switch built into it (as do most of the routers on the market), so I can connect multiple devices to it, including other switches/routers. These are exterior cameras only, so even if somebody gets into it, that...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    A relative n00b question coming in, about port forwarding/VPN etc. Here's what my network looks like today. ISP router (not in bridge mode) handing out 192.168.1.x IPs - my NVR/associated cameras are directly connected to this (no other devices, besides the UDM router, are connected to this...

    Need recommendations

    Thank you! That leads me to one more question (truly appreciate your patience with these). Cameras I've used in the past have insisted on using Internet explorer for camera admin gui access. Does the Z12E allow us to use Chrome or edge or firefox? or are we forced to use IE?
