How to add a camera in Blue Iris - so easy!

In this video I explain how to add a camera to to Blue Iris, the security camera software. Adding a camera is easy in blue iris but there are a bunch of tabs and it can be overwhelming at first. This video walks you through each step of the process. I also show you how to use the Angry IP Scanner, a tool that helps you find the IP address of a newly plugged in IP network security camera.
I recommend utilizing the free trial, then if you like it, purchase a perpetual license using the link below.

I was looking for the Howard stern whack packer by the same name, but this helps me too i guess

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thanks. Very helpful. Thanks for making these videos.

[@l0gic23]

Really nice overview. Thanks.

[@learnblueiris]

Glad it was helpful!

I don't use sub stream because sometimes, specially at night, things happen on my property that not always gets detected or trigger my cameras. So I like to manually go back to the full video to see what happened. If using substream, all that recorded video will be in low quality and pretty much useless. Only the triggered motion alert videos will be in HD, the rest will not which is intended to save cpu and size.

[@learnblueiris]

You make a valid point. If you have the CPU headroom to be able to use full resolution all the time, then that makes sense. Depends on the situation. Thanks for watching!

[@l0gic23]

The IP scanner is cool. Don't forget to add hyperlinks in the description or pinned comments. Makes these evergreen vids that much more valuable (reduce risks of search vector attacks).

[@learnblueiris]

Thank you and great point!

I have multiple Lorex cameras as my Lorex nvr died. Would I be able to somehow use Lorex cams if I buy blue iris and set it up on a separate PC, what equipment do I need to make this work?

[@DurgySpade]

same question (except I have ezviz cameras)

[@IvanWalterDamianoff]

Can an EZVIZ camera be installed in Blue iris, but the camera is not in LAN? .

[@CatamaranChannel]

Can you also add wifi cameras like the Eufy IP-camera?

[@user-wc5lw7ps6h1]

Get rid of Eufy cameras. You're defeating the whole purpose of using Blue Iris with that spyware.

[@enrique861]

Nice video. Can you explain how config wi-fi camera. Thanks

[@learnblueiris]

Good suggestion! Thanks for watching.

[@ondasuondaable]

Hi Maybe you know,... certainly you know more about this software...why are thereno updates on blue irish software any more... like the last i see on their website is in 2021

[@learnblueiris]

They have regular updates. There have been a few this month. Likely your support has expired. When your support expires, you stop getting updates. If you go into the app, click settings, you should see your support status. It's around $30 per year to keep getting updates.

[@lifepath7741]

Please recommend me a youtube channel about Blue Iris for the limited and stupid. So I can understand everything... Your channel is arrogant and full of superiority. To the next level. Please, where can I find out how to get it?

[@jeffgosnell4036]

9 hours later, following this video and 20 others, including setting up zerotier....still not working. Guess I will just stick with the Wansview app and sd cards since I'm not paying for a monthly subscription.

[@nsvr6]

there has to be another way to install without installing the BS browser extension crap... I WON'T DO THIS... FU

Hello thank you for the information I would like to ask you some questions and I will be attentive to your response. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and I hope I can understand if you have some texts that are not very clear. 1. I have a 32 channel Dahua NVR with 8 cameras working in a city A, now I can add those cameras to a Dahua Server. I can add those cameras to a NAS Server and save the videos from the NVR in the city B. I can do it with blue city B. it can be done with blue iris. 2. I have 3 DAHUA IP cameras in 3 different towns that are saving the information only in sd memory. sd, these cameras have P2P, however in this place there is no internet for now, when the internet is installed I will be able to add the internet is installed I will be able to add the cameras to the NAS server that are in different towns one by one one by one without the need to have NVR and that serious in the NAS server? NOTE: this recorder has p2p and these cameras are being viewed over the internet through Dahua's through the Dahua application, however, what you want to do is to back up the recording in another device outside the city. recording on another device outside the city.
