trying to figure this issue out
no idea what it is,

so for starters
i use zero tier + BI (on iphone)
had no issues for long time, other then when i leave house wifi and it goes to phone internet it takes a little bit for camera's to be visible again as its switching over

issue i have now is this...
BI works great, im at home, i leave home.. i get down the road and BI suppose to work.. i am getting alerts from BI that camera, i see the alert, however when i try to open it, it just trys to load load load, i turn zero tier off and on , phone off and on, BI log out log in, no change
randomly, sometimes within 5 minutes, somtimes 30, sometimes 50, as the alerts are coming in, it starts to work again and i can open alert, or the thumbnail comes up on the alert
 
I'm having better results with Tailscale. moved from Zerotier. using the BI app on iphone. recently (Last 24 hours lol) began tinkering with UI3 remotely using the Tailscale IP address copied from BI App. I may try to encourage some simple folk in the house to try it over the Amcrest NVR app.

I tried zerotier when I was new to all of this and could never get it to work. I have been using tailscale for over a year with practically no issues aside from an update changing my BI machines IP which was easily fixed by updating the new IP in BI and on my phones app.
