I have my network set up as shown in the attached diagram. My BI PC is attached to the main network, and the second NIC has 1 POE camera attached. The Annke cameras are behind their own NIC that is part of the NVR, and the doorbell is part of the wifi network.

I am pretty new to the IP cam world. I started by buying a reolink dome camera, hooking it up to POE switch attached to a 2nd NIC on a PC running BI in a VM. Got that working, next I connected an existing Annke (rebranded Hikvision) NVR and its 4 cameras to BI. Latest step is connecting a...

Ok, new issue. A couple of my cameras will drop out and blue Iris will show "No Signal". However if I access the rtsp stream in VLC, they will start working again. I have the camera configured with "Send rtsp Keep Alive" box checked.

Nevermind, I figured out what you were saying

What does that do for me? Is it a faster way to add them? Also, when I add a new camera, I have to give it a different name

NVR Lan IP

Not sure what your asking, but I am seeing the camera stream passed from the NVR. The NVR is still up and running. I would like to get rid of the NVR, but I can work with this for now.

Yes!:):):)

You did it. Yay!!

I have the manual, it's 12 8.5x11 sheets. I can scan them, but they would be out of order, I can take pics, but that would be a bit of a pain. What specifically do you want?

rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.92:554/Streaming/Channels/101 this is the rtsp URL for one of the cameras

Nope, hit a wall. I can see the stream in VLC, but cannot figure how to configure blue iris to see the stream.

Ok, I think I have a way forward. I was able to access the RTSP stream coming out of the camera with VLC. Now I need to configure BI to accept that stream. Any guide on how to do that?

OK, I attempted to add the NVR to BI. I added the IP address (192.168.1.92), set the RTSP port as 554, Discovery I have tried 8999, and 8000, I keep getting "Camera not Found" or RTSP 404 Not found. See attached

I did not know that when I purchased it, I know better now.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. When I get home I will try to reach the cameras through the NVR. Hopefully that works.

Transformer? That would be my guess.

I don't understand this part. The Reolink I have connected doesn't have a separate power supply, and is powered through a POE switch. I figured the NVR injected power just like the POE switch does. So if I connect that camera to the POE switch, it should have power and be discoverable correct?

Thanks for your replies. I will try to import the NVR and do it that way, that could actually solve a lot of my issues. I have some new Amcrest cameras on order, and if the NVR thing doesn't work, I will probably just replace them.

the power supply per the manual is 12v DC. the cameras plug into the back of the NVR, not anywhere else on the network. when I access the camera through the NVR it has an IP of 1.168.254.2. I tried to manually change it so it could be seen on the other network, but it didn't show up.

I have a Annke NVR system that I purchased on Amazon in 2018. It is an N481Y system that came with 4 bullet cameras, I believe they are model I31BY cameras. I am setting up a new camera system using Blue Iris, ans would like to re use these cameras if possible. I have successfully connected a...
