I had forgotten that some (old tech) cameras still need ActiveX to access. I turned on IE mode in Edge on an old Win10 laptop which enabled ActiveX. From there it was pretty easy to check out the camera settings. Once I set HTTP (80), ONVIF (8899) and Media (34567) ports in
Blue Iris it worked great. Nice camera
for the money. Good IR and even follows if subject is going out of frame.
(For the future knowledge of someone finding this thread trying to use Woolink cameras, you first need to use their mobile app to put the camera on the network of your choice. Your phone needs to be on that network with cell service turned off. No 5ghz BTW. The app generates a QR code that is then scanned by the Woolink camera and it joins that network. Setting up a name and password account is not necessary (choose local option on that screen) but giving the camera a password is required. In the future (for Blue Iris and direct access) that camera name by default is "admin" and the password is what ever you just set with the app. Find the IP of the camera either through your router or an IP Scanner (
Advanced IP Scanner). Use that IP when adding a camera in Blue Iris. Start with the above port numbers in the Video section of Blue Iris. They should work. Be sure the username and password are correct. If not working then it's time to examine the actual camera settings using IE mode in Edge. Open the IP address in IE mode. Download and install the plugin for ActiveX. Login and from there you can see the ports and addressing being used. I'm sure I missed something but this is way longer than meant to be.)
