Can anyone recommend a nice wireless camera that works with BlueIris?
I need to be able to move it around to monitor different areas in the house.
I suggest you consider the Amcrest IP2M-841 (re-branded Dahua) . It's ONVIF compatible, provides RTSP, is 1080p, IR, 2-way audio plus mike in/speaker out, has pan/tilt/digital zoom, wired or wireless and has alarm in/out, great with Blue Iris, VLC, etc. Available in white, black or silver for under $60. I got an e-mail 7/30 that it's on sale thru amazon for $48 with promo code # VD2FPSNC (not sure if that's still valid).Hi everyone,

Promo still valid as of this post.I suggest you consider the Amcrest IP2M-841 (re-branded Dahua) .

I have installed it and it's lower-res cousin (720p) , the IPM-721 at 5 locations in 3 years with no hiccups. It runs about $48.
That's the 3MPHa!
Appreciate your help on this. I'm in the UK. It sells for £99.
I knew that...I guess I should have said "you're VERY fast for an old fart" instead of "you're TOO fast for an old fart."I'm an old fart as well.
Can you expand on the use of a battery for powerless locations? I am unable to picture how that would work.It's kind of nice to be able to just plop a cam somewhere to test locations without needing to run an ethernet cable to it.
It is powered by a 5V USB charger type supply, so it would be easy enough to use a 12V sealed lead acid battery and a car charger to temporarily fire it up at a location where I don't even have power.

Won't Alabama law require you to make the head "bobble".YW, @J Sigmo ,
I ordered one also, it'll be my second. Your reference to the 5VDC and the wireless gave me an idea, even though I knew about that, it just now occurred to me.
I have had several dashcams that didn't last long and cost twice as much, so......
1) I could plug a 1 amp 5VDC phone charger into my car's 12VDC accessory jack, stick in an SD card and sit this thing on the dash with some Velcro, start recording when driving.
The external alarm input may be the way to start the recording process with a small toggle switch. Pull either the SD card out (it's externally accessible) or the whole thing and take into the house for reviewing footage..
---AND/OR---
2) Have it running in the car all night, accessing my house's Wi-Fi and have Blue Iris watching for motion by door checkers. I doubt that it'll drain a healthy automotive battery overnight.
It may not be a requirement but NOT being made to "bobble' could be a breach of redneck etiquette...such as "when at a funeral, don't clean your ears with your car keys".Won't Alabama law require you to make the head "bobble".
The camera came with a normal 2 Amp, 5V output "phone charger style" wall cube thing. The cube has the normal full-size female USB port Jack, like you find on a PC, for example. Also included is special cable with the mating full size USB male plug on one end, but instead of a micro USB, or USBC plug on the other end, it has a small coaxial plug that mates to the camera.Can you expand on the use of a battery for powerless locations?

That's not a bad idea.YW, @J Sigmo ,
