Hello everyone

On my iPhoneX I have blue Iris app,,,,so far I can view 4 Hikvision cameras

How can I view the additional new dahua camera that was added to a blue Iris server V5 (windows 10 Pro)

I couldn't find an option for adding on the BI app menu or settings

Thx

You dont have to add it. It will automatically show up.

This is what I thought because initially I had 3 Hikvison when I added the fourth one to the server it showed up automatically in my phone,but that wasn't the case with dahua camera

The brand is irrelevant. If the camera is hidden from the display and you have hidden cameras set to not display in the app settings or is part of a group the user is not privy to then it wont display.

Ok

If the camera is hidden from the display and you have hidden cameras set to not display in the app settings
Under mobile app settings there is an option called " Hide Cameras " : No

part of a group the user is not privy to then it wont display.
I guess that needs to be checked on the server (windows 10) ? where should I check ?

Have you tried simply rebooting the server?
Many times every few days I install windows 10 updates and that requires PC restart and every few days I check update for BL and that requires software restars

can you see the camera if you login via browser to the webserver?
