I have been using Blue Iris for a little over a year with various cameras here at work with no issues at all...until now that is.
We recently had some thefts from our scrap yard out back. There is only one way in and one way out and the outdoor cameras spotted a truck coming and going late at night that night, but we can't tell much more from the footage. It was an outdoor low res Foscam in night mode.
I bought a MicroSeven high res camera that is already connected through Blue Iris and running perfectly. This camera is great at night; with ambient light and iR off. It will be good for identifying the vehicle and perhaps it's occupants. However, I have found during testing that it is still not clear enough to read a license plate day or night. So, I bought a GeoVision GV-Hybrid LPR 10R to run in conjunction.
Testing on the bench of the GV LPR with the included GV software goes flawlessly. However, when I add it to the Blue Iris, I get an image that is all green except for one line at the top. This line appears to show actual feed from the camera, but can't say for sure. I used the "Inspect..." function and BI chose a generic RTSP as the camera model. I tried several other camera models in the BI drop down menu to no avail.
I downloaded iSpy and added the GV to it through its wizard and it works fine, I get the full screen of the camera feed. The settings appear to be exactly as those for the same camera in Blue Iris. The path, ip, ports (both HTTP and RTSP), and path are the same.
Any ideas why I can't get live feed in BI?
Thanks in advance for your time.
