Specifications

If you want to access the Blue Iris Web Server from another PC on your LAN (local area home

or business network), open a browser and type into the address bar the Blue Iris computer's

name (e.g., http://officepc) or LAN IP address (typically http://192.168.x.x). For your

convenience, a list of LAN IP addresses in use by your PC is generated. This list is for reference

only; it is not necessary to select from this list. You will need your PC's LAN IP address later

when you configure your router for remote access.

You should not change the port number from 80 unless you know what you are doing and

have a reason for doing so. One such reason would be if you're using AOL (America On Line) or

another Internet Service Provider (ISP) which restricts the use of port 80. If you've properly

configured your router to route port 80 to your Blue Iris PC, yet receive an error page when

you attempt to connect remotely, you may need to select another port number, such as 81.

Note: if port 80 is in use on your system due to other server software running on your PC, Blue

Iris will automatically attempt sequential port numbers after the one you've chosen (i.e., 81,

then 82, etc.).

Local, internal (LAN) access

The LAN address shows you how to access the Blue Iris server from another PC on your

LAN. For a wireless network, you may need to instead use a LAN IP address instead of the

computer name. Note: for configuration/testing purposes, the name "localhost" and the IP
