Third Party Software

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

H.264 and AAC cameras require the installation of the FFmpeg libraries.  It is recommended that you install the K-Lite Codec Pack for this purpose.

Windows Server 2008 as well as some older operating systems may require the installation of the Windows Media Component redistributables.  Here's a link to the Microsoft WMF11 redistributable.

In order to use the Hikvision DS-40xx cards, download DS40xxSDK.dll and save it into your Blue Iris program folder.

The Vitamin Decoder 2.1 is used to connect to many popular DLink and Vivotek models, such as the DCS-2000,2100 and 3220, as well as the 4XEM MPEG4 cameras.

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.

The XVID codec is used to decode incoming video from many MPEG4 cameras, such as the DLink DCS-950, Y-Cam and Gadspot GS4600.  You may also use XVID to efficiently record video and for webcasting.

We offer a replacement flash memory image for the GS4000 in order to allow it to work with Blue Iris.

To use the EyeView or Etrovision models, please download the Etrovision.zip file, unzip to a folder, and run the reg.bat file to add the DLLs to your system.
