You would need to know the exact address that the cam is using, and you'd plug that into BI.
Typically you would look at the source of the page, find the URL that is imbedded in the page for the actual video.
I just did a quick look and couldn't find a URL, so maybe someone that knows more than I about HTML will come along and help.
I believe there is info about this in the BI help file.

From the web page, the embedded iFrame includes these sources:
Code: 
playlist: [{
       // image: "/cams/fishing-pier.jpg",
        sources: [{
            file: "rtmp://173.255.113.84:1935/live/_definst_/goldennugget564.stream"
        },{
            file: "http://173.255.113.84:1935/live/goldennugget564.stream/playlist.m3u8"
        },{
            file: "rtsp://173.255.113.84:1935/live/goldennugget564.stream"
        }],

thank you!!! i had just figured it out with help from blue iris support. works great.
 
This code is added to one of the web pages html code?

Is it possible to add the live feed to BI's Live preview in the main app?
 
it seems they now use a url that changes or timeouts...i got it to work but goes out after a couple minutes. is there a way to work around that? thanks.
 
My assumption is that this is deliberate to prevent people from streaming non-stop and sucking up bandwidth they'd like to reserve for other uses. Get permission from the site admin and a direct link to it if you want to do this 24/7.
