I've got a Hikvision NDB313-W doorbell cam that's a few years old on my Back Door. I use the Guarding Vison app with it.
I just started my journey with Blue Iris and have been trying this cam pulled in. I can see the cam on the network, Blue Iris also "sees" the cam but I can't get any video. I'm guessing that I just don't have the settings correct but I also am wondering if this cam is even compatible with BI.
I just picked up a ReoLink for the Front Door and managed to get it pulled in fairly easily.
I've searched the interwebs for settings but am not having much luck.

Any insight out there?
 
How did you add the doorbell to BI.

Best practice is to "add camera" and type in the IP address, username and password and hit find/inspect and BI usually does a good job of finding the correct protocol.

If you did that and still no video, then do find/inspect again and post here what pops up in the pop-up window.

Also some products will show up using RSTP vs. HttP in the search.
It may not be ONVIF compatible as well.
Somedays it isn't worth the FAFO, and get something known to incorporate easily into BI. that has an App.
Empiretech has one and Amcrest has one. Both are Dahua OEM products.
I think the Doorbell app from amcrest is more customizable that using it with DMSS
looks like the AD410 from Amcrest is not available on their site or on Amazon.

I've tried several iterations of settings including using RTSP instead of HTTP. This is what I get with default search criteria.
With the ReoLink, I had to go into the app and open a port however the Guarding Vision app doesn't have that option.
