I just received a bird nest box and camera that I am trying to set up.
It uses its own app to view the camera.
My goal was to be able to use BI to view and record but I am not seeing how.
Here is the camera in question:

To set it up it uses my home wifi. However I do not see it on my router list of connected devices. The device info of the camera gives me this;
See attached file.

As you can see the address (83.135.162.*) is outside my home wifi address (192.168.1.xxx)

Is there a way to get the stream into BI rather than having to rely on the app??
Thanks

If you set up with an app and scanned a QR code you are on their P2P server and no, you won't be able to get a stream into Blue Iris.

If you're up to it, you can try this:
  • With no power to the cam, connect its Ethernet port to a LAN port on your router.
  • Power up the cam then press and hold the reset button on the pigtail for at least 10 seconds.
  • Wait 60 seconds then look into the DHCP clients list on your router and see if it shows up with a 192.168.1.XXX IP address.

Tried that. Nothing shows up.

OK.....so it may not be set to DHCP and it won't show as a client so maybe it has a static IP.
Ping 192.168.1.10
 
If no joy pinging 192.168.1.10, try this:
  • Power down the cam.
  • Install Fing on your smartphone.
  • Get the phone onto your LAN via Wi-Fi (WLAN).
  • Perform a network scan with Fing, note the devices.
  • Power up the cam again, wait 60 seconds.
  • Scan the network again with Fing...notice any new device?
