Anyone know if the newer Swann cams work with Blue Iris? SWNHD-1200DE

[bozoreefer]

I'm getting a SWNHD-1200DE tomorrow and I'm hoping to seamlessly add it to Blue Iris.

Upon reading some threads, I learned that it may be more difficult than I had expected.

**UPDATED**SUCCESS**CRACKED*Swann PROPRIETARY camera-can't see it on the network-Swann SWNHD-865MSB

Long time user of Swann SWNDH-880 (4k rebranded hikvision) and SWNHD-825 (3mp rebranded hikvision) cameras from costco. These have been great with my linux NVR bluecherry. They even took the hikvision firmware update. I've recently purchased a new Swann PIR IP camera from...

ipcamtalk.com

Anyone have any experience with Swann cameras lately?

Thanks!

In the BI camera configuration box "Swann" is listed as a camera make selection.

You won't find many here buying Swann. Most come here after they have been burned by them and looking for better cameras.

12MP and they don't even give sensor size? Probably on a sensor designed for 2MP.

I'll be turning my focus over to dahua and andy's empiretech.

never again swann

This is a pot of gold.

Thank you heaps for this!

Will sit down and review this before purchasing!

My goal is to find a camera that can detect car's license plates as theyre driving past my home.
