The App can connect to each individual cam or through the NVR.
#BLUE IRIS ONVIF PORTABLE#
When you’re away on a trip your laptop can connect through your vpn to view cams etc or all your portable devices. So the app works the same if you’re on your how network or just enable the VPN while away from home and bam all your cams show up in the same app. If you have a second location with cams those cams can be a different group, then just connect to the other vpn and select the group name. So set up a group of say 4 that show around your house. If you have 12 cams the pics are very small. There are groups that make viewing groups of cameras convenient.

It’s one app that can connect to all the different cams. It’s worked for every single cam I have ever had/tried.

It’s fairly easy to use and defaults to a full screen view of cams.
#BLUE IRIS ONVIF PRO#
Now my preferred app is IP Cam Viewer from Robert Chou $7 for the pro version. So from anywhere in the world online just enable your VPN connection and poof network access to home network all secure and encrypted. I can browse my home network server like I’m sitting at home, just a little slower cuz the internet upload is a little slow.

I found the WIN version a little buggie so I bought Viscosity for $14 that seems to work flawlessly and has a nicer details page.
#BLUE IRIS ONVIF FREE#
And you get full access to your home network.īut how do you connect? You just need a free app called OpenVPN for your devices or OpenVPN for your computer version. Anything you do online will look like you’re at home. It’s all secure over the vpn and with the redirected internet it means everything you do online from your remote location is encrypted from any prying eyes on that public wifi or remote location network, whether it be a hotel, mcdonalds or starbucks etc. Other shared folders, servers, printers etc. That gives you full network access to any resources on your home network. With that setup you now have a remote access to your home network over the VPN, which is a private encrypted secure tunnel end to end.

It would be how they remote access the network. I had to set up a server on port 443 which is frequently used for remote access. But I occasionally frequent a restaurant with a third party managed free wifi and they blocked the regular port. Most of the time the default will work fine. You will also want to experiment a little with the port number the vpn server uses. Don’t email the file etc cuz it ends up out there, which you’re trying to avoid. Use security precautions cuz that file is the front door to your home network. Use a flash drive to transfer the file to the laptop or portable device. The router or vpn server you use will give you a config file to use on the vpn client. The built in router option simplifies it. But with that route you may have to setup a paid DDNS or the free ones have little catches like you have to click an emailed link every month to keep it active. Or you can use a small single board computer old laptop etc. It’s very cheap with a raspberry pi although a little slower due to lower powered hardware. If your router doesn’t have it built in you can set up a VPN server on just about any device. You use the ddns name in the vpn server and the router will handle all the settings of setup and updating the actual IP address to the DDNS service. Once that is setup essentially you just type in the ddns name you picked like Then go into your router settings and setup a VPN Server with a username and password, internet redirect and view other users enabled in most cases for home users. Essentially that names an IP path to your home network regardless of the actual IP address your router has since they change. Go into your router and setup a DDNS, it will vary by brand etc but most home router will have a free option. Now everything should be secure on your network. You want them on your network and that’s it.

That way they can’t (theoretically) talk back to china or wherever they may try.

Then block all 1-66,000 or however many internet ports to the NVR software or cams IP address, found in your router settings, unless you want the emails/alerts etc. Either recording each one individually or one of these NVR software to do all at the same time. Figure out how you will setup your cameras on your network. Ok an easier way of remote viewing…sort of but it is more secure and simpler in some ways.
