Attempting to connect my old 1650 to Blue Iris. I've followed the steps but receive No Signal message for any given camera selected. I've attached screen shots of my current settings. I can access the 1650 using IPVIEWER APP. Browser, etc.. Any Help would be much appreciated.
Samsung SRD-1650

See the sticky on setting up cameras that are not in the drop-down menu... Also post images of the actual configuration settings

In case anyone didn't bother googling the model number given, this is an old analog DVR with analog cameras from around 2010.
Here's a manual I found
It's not clear exactly how live video is encoded, but it looks like it only works with ActiveX and may use Xvid. I doubt the video is in a format Blue Iris can use. If you can open the stream in VLC and then check the codec info you could figure out how the video is encoded.
It's way past time to replace this old dinosaur. Newer systems work so much better and capture so much more detail!

and Happy New year!16 cameras mix of interior/exterior cams. System works without issue. Picture quality is outdated but like I said it works. My plan was to replace a few ext. with IP's for now and was looking for a way to control everything with BI.

If you want to try to get it working, what I would do is try to view the stream in VLC by choosing open network stream. Then choose codec information to see what format the video is in. If you can figure out if an mjpeg stream is available that's another option. Then you'd have to experiment with video settings based on what you learned.
A cheap used capture card is another possibility but you're more likely to find a PCI one that isn't compatible with the computer your using (assuming you aren't using some dinosaur of a pc).
Another route, would be to replace the DVR with a newer one that's compatible with old analog cameras as well as newer higher resolution formats that still use coax. You could reuse your existing cabling this way, but you're probably better off running new wire and putting in ip cams.
Is this system on a house or business?

try the various options on the samsung dropdown list. Also ensure you have the correct rtsp and http ports set in BI.
See this
How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list
If you need to replace the DVR, see the dahua cvi pentabrids. You are better off simply spending that money on ip cams.
