Hello my name is Noob. I need help setting up BI w/ momentum 720p IP Cams.

I've only found one post on this site about these cams and the guy claims to have 6 working. So it must be possible. Anyone else done it?

Welcome. Go to the Blue Iris threads for info.
This one might have your answer.
How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list

You'd be better off with better cameras. 1080p is 4x more than twice the resolution of 720p.

You are thinking of 4K vs 1080p.

1080p is 2.25 times 720p.

oops. It is generally a lot harder to ID someone off a 720p cam than a 1080p one.

So i contacted the camera manufacture and the password rotates daily they claim. So am i at a dead end if i cant get the username and password?

Whaaat? Password rotates daily? I think they misunderstood the meaning of "security" camera.

It may be like a recent encounter I had with Amcrest when a client locked themselves out of their NVR. They have a master reset password based on the date of manufacture of the device. If that's what your support person is referring to, not a good explanation on their part. You may also have to submit proof of purchase before they will reveal the info to you. Once you get in, you set up a new password, of course. I hope this helps.
