Adding a wifi camera to Blue Iris - is it possible ?

[BigFoot]

My CCTV setup will mainly be hardwired on Cat6 cable but as part of the whole CCTV / network setup I have added a second router to act as a repeater (same as the main router, a Fritz!box 3490)

I have a location outdoors looking back towards the home

Whilst power to the camera would be achievable from an outdoor source a hardwired Cat6 cable would be less practicable

Hence my question - is it possible to add a wifi camera to Blue Iris ?

It would be within line of sight of the repeater router

Many thanks in advance & kind regards

Sure it is.

I set up an old router as a wireless access point on the camera LAN and have two Wi-Fi cams connecting to that. Then, added the cams to BI by IP just as if they were hardwired. All done with static IPs.

Thank you so much - I'll give it a try
