I read everything i could on nvr and everything else and apps. settled on blue iris as being the best app or program out there. so i bought it. and i can't get any of my cameras to work on it. I know i am not that dumb. please help.. have i just bought the wrong cameras. any help out there. Thanks

Have you tried Find/Inspect in BI? If you know the IP of a cam, your BI pc should be on the same subnet, Enter IP, username and password. Then click Find/inspect.

How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list
If all of those are Wifi, you're not going to be happy.
Wifi is a poor choice for cameras.
Those are junk cams, so good luck.

I listen to too many people and that is why so many different camera. they would tell me that this was the best camera for them so i would by one or two of them then one person told me i needed to buy three together to make them work on bi. so should i start all over and stop trying to use bi or should i find out which cameras to buy that would work with BI. thanks for any help on the route i should go. thanks Tim

Stick with Dahua or Hikvision.
This is the favorite cam around here for the past year.
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
Also read the wiki at the top of the page.

anyone who told you to buy those cams is a kook... as mention Troubleshooting
you could likely get most of them working, but there is a good chance your are improperly entering the settings, passwords, ip, ports etc
