Hello, I have a Dahua NVR with 3 Dahua IPC attached. I would like to control the cams and stream via Blue Iris as this is a much better software. BI doesn't find the cams as they are linked to a internal subnet (10.1.1.1.) in the nvr. What settings (port, ip adress etc) are required in BI to have access to the cams behind the nvr ?

Select the "add new camera" selection from the "gear icon" by right clicking the gear. input the IP address and User/Password of the NVR. you'll have to change the Port number 8999 to 80 and the RSTP port to 554, if they are not listed that way already.
Then if you click on "Find/ Inspect"
it should populate its results showing something like I have shown here. then you can select a CAm # like
1 or 2 or 3 etc....for
Do this for each camera changing the Cam# for each new cam.

Wasn't to hard to figure out. I'm gonna remove the nvr soon and just use the BI server..

What was great is the HELP feature that brings up the instructions on how to set up your BI system. I guess I'm used to a 5 page start up guide that was translated from chineese. So between a few of the comprehensive you tube tutorials on specific operations and then the extremely well written HELP feature, I think even I can get this BI system doing what I want.

I have found BI easier to setup than an NVR. I can get the basics going for both about the same time, with a slight edge towards BI. Now the customization, BI blows it away. YMMV

Does this method still allow the camera’s IVS alerts to transmit to BI?
