Having issues connecting Blue Iris to my cameras

[cwylie]

I have two Vistacam 1100's and I cant get blue iris to talk to them. I put in the IP address and it finds the camera and runs all the checks but when it tries to access the camera I get a error.

Hope you didnt pay the insane prices they ask for those cams...

$280 ROFLMAO..

that makes foscam look like a deal.

No I didnt pay full price for them but I still probably overpaid for them. Tried using the onvif tool but its not finding the cameras. I can log on to them through a browser no problem though.

Your camera does not support onvif. You need to get the rtsp stream from the manufacturer or you can use the mjpeg Stream which is in the drop-down under the manufacturer name

What am I doing wrong here?

is the username and pass correct? use the other methods or contact the manufacturer for the rtsp stream

I swapped the cameras over to MJPEG and Im having the same issues.

Check your user and password settings. Also you may need a completely different URL...so do as recommended in the link i posted.
Did you change the cameras user name to "administrator" and password to admin? because that is what you have entered!!

if its MJPEG over HTTP the port wont be 554 either.. likely 80 or whatever the WebUI is set at.

I changed it to 80 but still had the same issue. Any other ideas?
