BI and Swann IP Cameras (HD) - Specifically nhd-806

[znelbok]

Hi Guys New here and just getting in NVR's. I have a Swann nhd-806 HD camera (720P) and I was wondering how to get it to work with Blue Iris. Reading different places it appears that Swann use customised firmware and don't make it easy to use their cameras with anything but the Swann software. Try as I may, I have not had any success yet in getting this working in BI. Can anyone offer any suggestions to help out please. I am a noob to cameras, BI and NVR's in general Thanks Mick

There is a short thread about it here that mentions an RTSP request address for its main stream. You should be able to get it going in BI using that info, provided you've got the cam configured on your network at least.

Just for the record, I got it working and here are the settings

Media/video/RTSP Port - 554
Path - /h264Preview_01_main
Make/Model - RTSP H.264/MJPG/MPEG4

This thread would be useless without it. There is no point keeping it to myself, that is what the forums are for - sharing the knowledge to help others.

Apologies for digging up an old thread, but I am also trying to get the NHD805-CAM to work on BI with no results.
