Can I add a camera to Blue Iris from a different house?

Can the IP address be a web link as opposed to a local LAN IP?

Yes. However, port forwarding a camera to do this creates a huge security risk. Consider setting up a vpn. Also note that depending on the birtate, it can consume huge amounts of data. If you have a cap, you will blow it.
