Blue Iris

Hi guys,

wonder if you could assist. I am just moving from Android to an iPhone and I cannot get the app on the iPhone to connect. The settings mirror the Android settings I have had in place for a number of years now.

BI is running on Win 10 and is up to date V5

On both iPhone and iPad I get Unable to make connection; check server address.

Oddly, my Macbook can access the web server on the lan address and get login page, but not the mobile devices on the same WiFi connect

Regards

I assume you are trying to set it up on wifi first ? The same wifi that worked with the android device ?

It does sound like the iPhone is blocking it if the settings are the same. Being an android guy I don't know what that could be with iPhone.

Has anyone had any success connecting to Blue Iris on the iPhone App?

Mine works fine. I have a 192.168.x.y format for my lan and a fqdn for my wan.

I haven't had an issue with the iphone app until very recently, but getting it connected was pretty painless. I think I just put in my BI license because I believe I have BI setup to connect my wan ip with the license and it connected without a problem. Doesn't matter if I'm on another lan or cellular. Didn't have to do anything special with the iphone.
