So for a brief background, not an expert, but I've had BI for ~7-8 years, I have 12 cameras on my system, from 3-4 different manufactures, so I have some level of knowledge, though by far an expert.
I have 1 Amcrest camera, an IP5M and I cannot get it in Blue Iris. it comes and goes, mostly its showing offline though sometimes its online. I know its not the wiring or the camera itself because it is always 100% on/available on the Amcrest app or even via my Control4 app. So two other apps get the feed fine.
Right now in BI it says offline and has a still photo from yesterday ~30 hours ago based on the time stamp.
I use the find/inspect with BI and it picks the generic instance, I know the user name/password are correct. I have lowered the FPS to a minimal # (I think the latest was 5 or something) and in the camera itself I have the resolution at 1280x720 so very low for a 5MP camera.
What gives? What am I missing? Today out of frustration I tried to just create a new camera using all the same info (IP, user name/password, etc) and it didn't work either. But again, my Amcrest and C4 apps work.
