I upgraded from BI3 to BI4 and it was seamless except it didn't carry over a couple of my cams...

I am very experienced with BI so I am attempting to add them manually... no big deal... well sort of

using the "add camera" I did just as I always did but now it seems I have to go through some type of discovery process?

In BI3 it would at least create the cam even if was was not working so I could play around in there with the settings til

I got it working... now it seems if you don't hit it the first time, it won't even setup a camera window to play with all the setting?

Am I doing something wrong?

I have Ip cam finders that find the cam's fine but BI can't see them?

What's the quickest and simplest way just to add a camera?

Thanx in advance

P.S. I'm running win 10 .... Sure hope that's not the problem
