Using Power over Ethernet cameras with Blue Iris?

[homelyn]

Hi
I have just bought a couple of PoE cameras for my Blue Iris system (which runs well a home) , they are Revotech I9024-P cameras, they work fine using the NVSIP app on my Iphone.

The cameras and PC running the BI software is connected by home plugs and the whole system has worked fine for a number of years.

I use the iphone with BI app to keep an eye on things at home, but this means I am now using two apps.

So, is anyone out there using PoE cameras with BI? If so how did you link them in please.

Thankds

Eric

Most of this forum is probably using Blue Iris with POE cameras. As long as they're on the same network, just point Blue Iris to the camera's IP address to add it. Blue Iris doesn't know or care about the POE part.

+1 to what @Mr_D said.

Plus, it appears Revotech is not listed on BI's "Technology" page. In that case, try @fenderman 's "How to add camera to BI that is not in the drop down list"

My revotech camera is sitting in a drawer. It does not work very well , if at all. I am concerned about both security and performance with this camera. Simply it is JUNK a lesson learn by spending money and not studying the correct solution.

I would correctly set up the camera on BI, Use a vpn to access BI and block all your cameras from the internet.

I have 2 Revotech cameras one will only connect like this but goes in and out.
