portforward.com. This is a free site and offers router-specific step by step

instructions. Additional information may be found in the first topic on the troubleshooting

page (See 12.).

Step 6. Once your router is configured, the address that you saw after using the "Find address

now" button is the one that you may now use remotely. Enter this address into your web

browser's address box with http:// first. So, it will look something like http://67.123.1.22/. If

the page does not appear (you may receive a "can't find server" error), you may need to

reconfigure your router and firewall again, insuring the appropriate port is forwarded. It may

also be that your ISP (Internet Service Provider, for example, AOL), is blocking the port you

need. To use another port, return to the Options/Web Server page and change the port from

80 to 81 (for example) under Advanced settings. If problems persist, please email

support@blueirissoftware.com

Tip: check out www.no-ip.com or www.dyndns.org for a permanent Internet name for your

webcam and web site.

To access Blue Iris via a cell phone or mobile device, try the mobile home page, available by

using your IP address in the browser's address bar, for example

http://67.132.1.22:81. Dedicated iOS and Android client apps are currently in development.

Here are the steps to follow to begin using your webcam to monitor your home or business:

Step 1. Follow steps 1, 2, and 3 in the "here are the steps to follow to access your webcam on

the Internet" section in order to connect your camera.

Step 2. Open the Camera Properties window by clicking on the webcam icon. Click on the

Trigger profiles

(See 7.3) page. Click to check "Enable motion sensor." Click Ok to close the

window.

Step 3. By default, Blue Iris will now record a video when motion is sensed. Try waving your

hand in front of the camera. You will see a Clip created in the Clip List

(See 10.). Blue Iris will

continue to record for several seconds once the motion stops. When recording stops, the Clip

in the Clip List will now show a "thumbnail" image.

Step 4. Double-click on the thumbnail image in the Clip List to open the Clip in the Clip Viewer

(See 10.). Use the various clip viewer tools to playback the movie. Close the clip viewer by

clicking on the live camera image, or clicking the "X" box at the top-right corner of the viewer.

Step 5. Return to the Trigger profiles (See 7.3) page to adjust the sensitivity as necessary. Visit

the Camera Properties Record (See 7.4) page to change recording properties as necessary.
