Hello community, I have a Hawell power-full night vision HW-RS399A camera which is not in the Blue Iris list with supported cameras, is there a way to update the software to work with this type of camera?

I have 10 cameras of the same model in different locations and I want to use Blue Iris to monitor all these locations from my home, as I read BI is the best software for the work but my cameras are not supported from BI. Any ideas guys?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply and the links fenderman, this camera is made in China there is not an actual site for the camera except these links http://szhleonwu.en.ecplaza.net/hawell-powerful-night-vision-camera--314085-2420296.html , http://shenzhenhawell.suppliers.saom.net.cn/pz510e46b-hawell-small-hd-ir-camera.html . I think I made a mistake to purchase these cams without previous research. :sad:

These are the specs on camera:
IR Color CCD Camera
HW - RS399A
Power DC 12 V

Sorry but you made a big mistake with these cameras..they are low resolution analog. The only way to use them with BI would be buying encoders or a dvr then streaming to BI. Its not worth it. The image will be bad. Throw them out/sell them and buy HD ip cameras..Look at hikvision and dahua.
 
Alernatives?

1) Ask the seller if you can return them...or exchange them for a 2MP+ cameras.

2) Sell them on eBay and purchse Dauhua or Hikvision cameras.
 
Thank you Fenderman unfortunately I made a big mistake, of course I have a dvr of the same model like the cams that streams and i can see it on my browner remotely, but I'll have to buy new ones.

Thank you very much for the help.
