blue iris app androdi help

[andre324]

Hello everyone, I need your advice. I installed the Blue Iris 5 software on my PC as a demo. I did some video recording tests. It worked fine. My question is: I would like to install the Blue Iris Android app on my phone. It asks me for 10 numbers. The first 5 and last 5 of the software activation key are required to connect to the Blue Iris 5. It's fine. Then it asks for the LAN and WAN addresses of the Blue Iris 5 software web server. For the username and password, I have to create one or enter the username and password of the router on the local home network. Thank you for your help.

In Blue Iris on the PC server, go to "settings" (the big gear icon at upper left) then the "Users" tab and create a username and password.

Put that in the BI app on your phone along with the BI server's LAN and WAN IP's and the BI server's port (usually 81).

When your phone is on your LAN at home, the BI app will use the LAN IP to access the BI server. In order for the WAN IP to be accessed remotely (away from your LAN at home), you would either need to set up port forwarding in your router (NOT recommended) or use a VPN (such as Tailscale or Zerotier). That WAN aslo needs to be "public", not private, meaning it can be accessed from the Internet.

If accessing BI's built-in web server (UI3) with a browser instead of the app, you would still use that same username and password you created.

Hello Tony R, thank you, I understand and how it works for port 81. I have to configure the router to open port forwarding to access the PC. Blue Iris software. Thank you, Andre.
