Adding Hikvision Doorbell cam to Blue Iris

[arbehold]

I've got a Hikvision NDB313-W doorbell cam that's a few years old on my Back Door. I use the Guarding Vison app with it.
I just started my journey with Blue Iris and have been trying this cam pulled in. I can see the cam on the network, Blue Iris also "sees" the cam but I can't get any video. I'm guessing that I just don't have the settings correct but I also am wondering if this cam is even compatible with BI.
I just picked up a ReoLink for the Front Door and managed to get it pulled in fairly easily.
I've searched the interwebs for settings but am not having much luck.

Any insight out there?

How did you add the doorbell to BI.

Best practice is to "add camera" and type in the IP address, username and password and hit find/inspect and BI usually does a good job of finding the correct protocol.

If you did that and still no video, then do find/inspect again and post here what pops up in the pop-up window.

Also some products will show up using RSTP vs. HttP in the search.
It may not be ONVIF compatible as well.
Somedays it isn't worth the FAFO, and get something known to incorporate easily into BI. that has an App.
Empiretech has one and Amcrest has one. Both are Dahua OEM products.
I think the Doorbell app from amcrest is more customizable that using it with DMSS
looks like the AD410 from Amcrest is not available on their site or on Amazon.

I've tried several iterations of settings including using RTSP instead of HTTP. This is what I get with default search criteria.
With the ReoLink, I had to go into the app and open a port however the Guarding Vision app doesn't have that option.

If you know the doorbell's IP address, username and password you can try VLC with this URL (use 2 "/" after "rtsp:" as forum software won't allow 2 to be displayed consecutively):

rtsp:/ipaddress/Streaming/Channels/101
or
rtsp:/ipaddress:554/Streaming/Channels/101

If that works you can set up BI as this IPCT member did below

I think it is sourced from Hik VIsion. If you go off of the Max Address It is made by AzureWave Technology Inc. The MAC Address starts with: 40:9F:38. When you log into the iVMS-4200 app, it shows it is made by EZVIZ and claims to be a model CV330. I updated it to V 5.2.4 Build 180719 with the RCA Security Application.


I had to look at my DHCP server logs to get the address. Once I did, I was able to get it into Blue Iris using the standard Hik Vision RTSP URL. rtsp://ipaddress/Streaming/Channels/101/ I used the username admin and the password that is on the front of the camera and...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. I tried all the different suggestions. Nothing worked. In the end, I went with Flintstone61's advice and just bought another ReoLink cam. It integrated extremely easily.
After going through the process twice with ReoLink, I'm sold. I'm not sure how the quality stacks up against other brands but for the price it gets me all I need.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
