Hello !

I have bought some time ago a :

IMPORX CCTV Auto Tracking PTZ IP Camera – Support Blue Iris, 1080P Full HD 20X Optical Zoom Camera – ONVIF High Speed Weatherproof Camera, 500 Feet IR Distance

ip address is : 192.168.0.99
but there is no way to connect with blue iris
In blue iris the only cam availabale from set up is:
Imporx rstp
I also made hard reset but no
chance
Could you please specify me how to fix this cam with blue iris ?
Otherwise if there is a kind of software able to get in to camera settings
Thanks in advance
Carlo
 
What is the IP for the blue iris PC ?
The IP address of the camera is 192.168.0.99. You will need to change the IP address of the camera to the same sub net as the Blue Iris PC.

Thanks a lot for reply
The problem is I have no software to get in to the camera
If I type in I.E: 192.168.0.99 there is no way to open cam
Is there any software available ?
I have received cam without installation disk
thanks in advance for help
 
you can find in attachment ipconfig for pc connected to the same router. Maybe it can be helpful

The camera is on a different IP address range from your PC, if 192.168.0.99 is the real IP address of the camera.

Temporarily change the PC IP address to 192.168.0.150 and access the camera with the browser as above.
Then change the camera IP address to one on your actual network such as 192.168.1.99
Then change your PC IP address back to normal.
 
your pc is ip address 192.168.1.131. the ip camera is 192,168,0.99,
disconnect the PC from the router and the network.
disconnect the camera from the network
connect the pc and camera to a switch, nothing else connected to the switch
change the IP address of the pc to 192.168.0.150.
login to the camera , change the IP address to a static ip address to your subnet. 192.168.1.xxx.
change to PC IP address back to 192.168.1.131
reconnect everything to your network.

Sorry to be pedantic - but none of that is necessary.
The camera and switch can simply be left connected as normal.
It does not matter if the PC IP address is different from other devices on the network.

I don't think you're being 'pedantic'...I'd say 'logical' and at the same time, trying to keep it simple for a newb.:cool:

hello everybody !
at the end i have managed using sadp tool (hikivision)
to change parameters.
now it works fine with blue iris
I have selected : imporx rstp from blue iris panel
(i have tried even with all range oh hikivision in blue iris panel...)
only problem : ptz is not working in blue iris
i am forced to use external hikivision tool to take full camera control
is there someone who can solve this final problem ?
is there any fine tuning needed with ptz panel in blue iris ?
wait for your help
thanks in advance !
 
Tony thanks for reply
of course i have checked
buttons are enabled but when i push left, right, bottom and top
imporx doesn't move at all
maybe there is a fine tuning to be done or some parameters to be set

Good...and on that same PTZ page which protocol is selected in the dropdown menu, is it 'ONVIF'?
If 'ONVIF' doesn't make PTZ work, try the 3 different "PELCO' selections.

thanks a lot Tony for reply
I will try in one of next days and will let you know
Imporx cam is placed in a very fine place over 2000 meters on Swiss Alps
and takes a beautiful view on valley and a lake
Ptz will be necessary to control height of snow in winter and condition of
the only road leading to that place
i will come back to you soon
thanks again !
 
hello Tony
i have made several tests
but no way to change ptz and move imporx camera through blue iris
i have followed your instructions but even with pelco and COM port
changement nothing moves
I would try also patrol option in preset in order to fix 5 or 6 preset position and every x minutes imporx cam moves and takes images automatically
I could give you full access to pc and cam with teamviewer if you wish to try to solve the problem
wait for your reply
have a nice sunday

Gorgeous valley there!

Perhaps @fenderman will assist you via Teamviewer as you asked; I feel he is more likely to resolve your PTZ.
 
hello Tony
Fenderman was really of great help
thanks for advice to contact him
i wish to thank you for all the help and support you gave me
i will come back to you if any other question will arise
best regards from Swiss Alps

Hi there - reviving this thread bc I am having the same problem as gocar1965. Can pull up my imporx cams in BI 5 but not able to control PTZ.

Do you remember how you were able to adjust video config to solve the problem?
