Camera drivers and codecs

Following are links to third-party software packages which might be required to use certain cameras with Blue Iris:

 

The K-Lite Codec Pack is highly recommended for Windows systems which have need to open and play MP4, MOV, M2T and other de-facto standard video formats not typically supported by Windows.

 

On Windows Server 2008 you must enable the “Desktop Experience” feature of your OS in order to enable Windows Media encoding.

 

In order to use the Hikvision DS-40xx cards, download DS40xxSDK.dll and save it into your Blue Iris program folder. It may also be necessary to use a specific version of the card’s driver.

 

The Microsoft sample capture program AmCap can be used to test general connectivity with webcams and analog camera cards and devices (not network cameras). If your device works with AmCap, it should work with Blue Iris and vice-versa.
