TinyCam Pro Web Server into Blue Iris Server

[TaylorTech]

I've done extensive research and trial and error and cannot find if this is possible. I don't see why it shouldn't work, but it's just not.

What I did was add my WyzeCam's to tinycam pro since it supports it without flashing the FW. I'm using an Android emulator on widows 10 to do this. I was able to get the webserver on tinycam up and running and I'm able to easily view my streams on any browser on my LAN.

No matter what I try, I can't get the tinycam stream into blue iris.

I'm NOT trying to stream blue iris on tinycam like others. It's the other way around. Any help is appreciated and TYIA!

@alexvas is the tinycam developer and perhaps he can give your the correct stream info to pull a tinycam stream...
This has got to be the most convoluted way to get a camera "working"...i can tell you that it wont be reliable...

I am currently running this feed from tinycam on ActionTiles panels throughout my home and have it has been working good. Not perfect, but good enough. I just want that feed in BI also. Thanks for tagging him BTW.

It may be convoluted, but there are some cams @alexvas TinyCam supports that BlueIris does not and TCP local or FTP recording is not completely reliable. Feeding the TCP feed to BlueIris might help with that.

Those cams belong in the garbage... Doesn't make doing this any less convoluted.

@TaylorTech you could try Wireshark to inspect the network traffic between Blue Iris and TinyCam to see what is going wrong. Wireshark is a bit of a pain in the ass to work with but it is a very powerful program if you can wrap your head around it.

Did anyone ever get this working?

I have a perfect use for this....

I know this is an old post but maybe someone can use this info. I used to test tinycam on some old cell phones just to see if they would work as a baby monitor and it worked well enough. I couldn't get the sub stream to work but the mainstream works. Here is a screenshot of my configuration. Be sure to set your port for your webserver and replace the xxx.xxx.xxx for the IP of your webserver Good luck

Similarly, I've had IPCam (for iOS, by SKJM) on an iPhone display a MJPEG stream into BI for hours without a hiccup.

In BI you put in the iPhone's IP address, select make as "Generic/ONVF", model as "MJPEG stream" and the path (at least with this particular iPhone app) is "/video.mjpg".

http://iPhone-LAN-IP-address/video.mjpg

That same URL would also play in VLC for hours.

There's also Wz-Mini_Hacks running on the SD card or the Wyze Beta RTSP firmware for RTSP on a V3 for direct connection to any VMS including Bl and tinyCam. I use a couple with my BI rig and they work great despite the naysayers.

Wz_mini supports POE via the mini-usb port, go2rtc, Tail Scale, web server, and quite a few other features...., and can also operate in stand-alone mode independent of the Wyze ecosystem if desired. Otherwise the Wyze firmware features still function as normal. Disabling wz_mini is as simple as removing the SD card as the camera firmware is not altered in any way. It's also one of the only 'Windows Friendly' distros of its kind and is cake to set up and navigate.

The Wyze RTSP Beta firmware is still reliant on the Wyze server eco-model but is also still a solid performer if you don't give a shit about some kid on a raft made outta milk jugs and popsicle sticks in a rice paddy somewhere watching you watch porn -- as we should all be concerned about as a matter of both personal and national security, of course.
