I have 3 cams currently monitored with ISPY. all working fine.
2 cams from China &1 EASY N

They are on rental property I own 30 miles from home.
they are all behind a firewall with a POE Switch.

Here is the problem I am having with Blue Iris
When I try to install a cam from home it "finds & inspects" only one cam. all the ports are different and when I say go to port 62, it inspects the cam, says it is done , but in the end it loads a cam on port 90.
if I turn of port forwarding for port 90 then it will load the cam on port 62 but as soon as I turn on the port forwarding for that port the cam reverts back to port 90.

each cam has a different RTSP & ONVIF port.

hope this make sense.

manually enter the ip and ports...
also if you have any other network devices that you dont want anyone access to on the remote property network, you should not be port forwarding those cameras...its a huge security risk.

Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I should have said that is what I have been doing. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:62
but it loads xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:90
different passwords & different ports
Yet it "favors" one cam regardless of the port I enter unless I turn the cam off.
thanks again

what is likely happening here is that video is being sent via rtsp - so you need to set different ports for each camera for its rtsp feed...lots of these feeds are unsecure so the password is irrelevant.

your right. After upteen attempts It seems I was not paying attention to the rtsp port.

Now I am and now it is working.

Thanks so much for reaching out
