I'm not sure how a remote desktop app would work - as I want to initiate the connection from my machine to get to the TMobile/computer.
As far as I know, all the remote access programs require the controlled machine to actively ask for remote access.

I'm setting up a small Blue Iris system (3 cameras) for a rental house I have that is currently empty. The only internet connection is via tethering to a cell phone. The system works fine, sends me single images for motion, etc... The problem is that I'd like to be able to remote access it to get or...

After coming up with the (blazingly obvious) idea of having it play a sound when alerts were sent, I found that alerts weren't being sent. Apparently, at some time I'd clicked on the "wait until triggered at least 2 times in 2 seconds" option. Didn't remember doing that. Turned that off, a...

Now I'm back to thinking something is wrong with BlueIris. I've setup both Email and SMS for 3 different SMTP servers, one of which is GMail. I did the "Test" for each of the email servers, they all worked. (Though I am unclear as to what the "Test" button does, as it doesn't ask...

Looking at the status sceren, it shows the triggers happening, but I'm not receiving txt msgs or email.
If it's having problems sending email - it sure would be nice if it told me.

Just did some experiments sending texts to myself via email.
Sending from my own (remotely hosted) domain - the text msg never arrives.
Sending from my local ISP domain - it works.
Sending from GMail - it works.

PITA.

Apparently you have to enable logging somewhere?
There aren't any log files.

Does Blue Iris have a log of some type that I can check to see if the Email was sent successfully?

I'm setting up a little system to keep tabs on an empty house I own. I've setup an Alert Action to send a SMS to my TMobile phone, and send an email to me.

The email works, I never get the Text msg.
Is this a problem with TMobile? Or Blue Iris?

yes, I know. In this case, it'll be in an empty house that I want to know if someone breaks in, or if it's being shown.
