My Hikvision cameras are old analog BNC from 2015/6, but I was able to add all 8 cameras to BlueIris via the DVR. BI has made my old Hikvision system smart, with high level motion detection. I now record 24/7 with the DVR and just use BI for motion detection and alerts.
Hello - from South Africa, I love the way you do your presentations, as it is very clear and detailed - I was wondering if you could do a Ezviz Model:C8C setup with Blue Iris.
Hi, thank you for your previous reply but I was wondering if you could answer another query for me please. I’ve bought the 8 channel reolink nvr with the 811a cameras and I was wondering if there is a way to install the nvr in a bedroom closet, but also have an internet connection for remote viewing, or do you need a LAN connection to the nvr. Thank you in advance.
Hi, recent subscriber here and so far loving all your automation and security camera videos. Just one question though, if I was to purchase the reolink nvr and camera package (RLK-810B4A), would those cameras still work with blue iris if I was to upgrade later. Thank you in advance for you reply!
From what I understand, for most kits, the kit cameras are bound to the NVR and cannot work on any other system or stand alone. That said, I heard Reolink does have kits (is will be introducing kits) comprised of the regular cameras. Here is the latest I found on this topic: forums.redflagdeals.com/reolink-reolink-rlk8-833d4-4k-smart-poe-camera-system-color-night-vision-3x-optical-zoom-person-vehicle-detect-665-49-2660160/2/
It depends on your network configuration and what "this" is referring to. If "this" is the NVR, then no, you cannot use BI on the NVR. If "this" is your cameras, then you can use BI if your camera are on your local network and not physically connected to the NVR. In that case, the NVR and your PC can both see and record the camera footage. If your cameras are directly connected to the NVR, then they cannot be seen by the PC. Hope this helps.
Hi, why was there a yellow triangle on the the Reolink and VIKYLIN Cameras? also could you make Video on how to setup remote access including using the wizard in Blue Iris? Thank you for the great and very helpful Video, I have learnt a lot from it!!
Glad the video helped! The yellow warning could be a few things from frame rate conflicts between the camera and BI, lag between the camera and BI where BI can't keep up due too bandwidth and/or processing power or it could even be connectivity issues to the camera.
Hi, Thanks for the video, I have used Blue Iris for a few years now but always find new things to learn. When adding a new camera and you drop the frame rate to say 6FPS for streaming will this also be the frame rate for recordings that are exported. 6-10 FPS is ok for monitoring but I would prefer 20+ for export and evidential recordings. Thanks
Yes, the live view, recordings and exports will all be 6fps. Agree, it would be nice to have live view use a lower fps than the exports. The closest option would be to use a substream where the live view uses lower resolution but the recordings and exports use the higher quality main stream. See tip #7 in my performance video for setting that up: ua-cam.com/video/hbcO-g3mGgI/v-deo.html
@@HomeTechDIY Thank you for your reply. I have already implemented what you suggest, thanks to the great tips in your performance video, I thought there might have been a change in the updates. Many thanks for your Blue Iris videos, they are very helpful 🙂
I have multiple Lorex cameras as my Lorex nvr died. Would I be able to somehow use Lorex cams if I buy blue iris and set it up on a separate PC, what equipment do I need to make this work?
I'm not sure. When researching, look for ONVIF or RTSP support from the cameras. I would suggest testing with one camera first. To power the camera, you may have the option of a 2a DC power adapter, if the camera supports a power cord. These are about $10 to buy on Amazon. You could also power it with a PoE switch, which would be the way to go if you get the cameras operational. I would then connect to a camera to your network and try to access it using your computer's browser. To find it' IP address, install the app called Fing, under all Devices. The camera might use a specific port to access it, like 8080. If you can't get to the login page, research ports for that brand/model. If you can get to a login page, the credentials are probably admin and the password to your NVR. If you get stuck, maybe do a factory reset of the camera, if that's an option using a button or through the software. After all that, you should be good to go with Blue Iris. They have a 30 day demo to test it out to make sure it works before you buy. Hope this helps.
Hello I was hoping on setting about 20 reolink 4k cameras on 4 different sites with different routers. What solution would be possible for connecting them all at home and recording everything there with blue iris ? Do I need 4 different nvr or computers or poe switches are enough ? Please help
You're right, I could have used the second stream for the live view or the recordings. My PC has enough power to comfortable use the main stream for both.
question, so if i am running security cameras on some storage units, and there is a total of 3 buildings with each building having its own switch which is connected together with multi mode fiber connection what do i need to do in order to view the cameras from each building off of their respective switches??
If the switches are connected with fiber then I would assume they are all on the same network and subnet. That means you should just need the IP address of the cameras. To confirm, there would only be one router, which distributes the IP addresses. These IP addresses should have the same first 3 numbers, like 192.168.1. If not, then the cameras are on different networks and more investigation would be required.
My settings worked when I was using my camera over WIFI but when I plugged it in directly to the router Blue Iris no longer shows what the camera sees. The Camera itself is working better than it ever did through the ICSee app with no lag whatsoever. Please help. Blue Iris Legacy 4
Sometimes a WiFi connection and the Ethernet port on the same camera will have different IP addresses. Your router sees them as 2 separate devices (2 different MAC addresses) and it would just be a fluke if they ended up with the same IP address when swapping from one to the other. Verify the camera's IP and then make sure it's accurate in Blue Iris.
Good evening i have 2 CMIP9532 Matrix IR Bullet Network Camera connected to a NVR POE ,one is pulling in 2.4 watts and the other 5.9 watts, the one with 2.4 the IR is not working , possible solution?
Sounds like lighting or configuration. Is it dark enough where no light is shining on the lighting senor to trigger the night vision? Also have you considered resetting the device back to defaults (without resetting the network options)?

I have some old Nest cameras, will they be compatible with Blue Iris. Thank you for the video.

You would need a LAN connection to the NVR to have it connected to your network, which is connected to the Internet.

I have bought a Reolink NVR 16 channel for my cameras, are you saying I cannot use bluebirds with this??
It depends on your network configuration and what "this" is referring to. If "this" is the NVR, then no, you cannot use BI on the NVR.

Hi, do you think 2MP (turret and bullet) dahua or hikvision camera would be enough for AI recognition for faces, pets, and object, not including ALPR.
Good question. I haven't played too much with BI's AI. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

Curious why you wouldn't use the secondary low resolution streams? Maybe you only need to do that when analyzing with ai?
You're right, I could have used the second stream for the live view or the recordings. My PC has enough power to comfortable use the main stream for both.

Hold on, did I get you right? The Reaolink NVR will not connect to BI?
Correct, the Reolink NVR or any cameras connected directly to the NVR are hidden behind the NVR's network and cannot be seen by BI.
All my 3 of my CTronics cams work with Blue Iris.

@@HomeTechDIY i will try rest, what’s strange is i have same issue with a dome cam low watt and it wont trigger the IR , might have to call tech
i figured it out , i had to reset ip cam to factory default now the vision kicks in
