Geenie Look HD Cameras - No way to hookup to BI?

[TickingMind]

Having these on sale at Canadian Tire, 2 cameras for $50 and the video quality is quite good, I wanted to try and hook them up to BI. There is a phone app for these which works well, they are made by Merkury, yet I can find nothing about setting them up with third party software like BI. Any experience or knowledge of how to go about this would be appreciated. I have done port scanning and tried different links to no avail.....

Can you post a model number, a UPC or EAN number, and maybe a picture of the camera? I'll see what I can find.

I found this, which seems to be the same camera rebranded (same manufacturer, though): https://www.gearbest.com/ip-cameras/pp_ ... 12392.html

It says it supports RTSP (but not ONVIF) so in theory you should be able to inspect the IP it's on and get an RTSP connection....in theory.

Thanks for the info. No go at this point, still unable to connect. Quite a shame as the pic /video quality is actually half decent, worthy of being installed in the home. $49 for two cameras. Just wish I could connect to them via BI

Well I have tried to no avail to get the Geeni cameras to work. They do have a logon screen but username and password comes up and it has become a futile effort. Any other ideas?
Much appreciated for your time.

There's usually a default username and password that should be mentioned in the manual.

A lot of them are something like 'admin' with no password, or 'admin' and 'admin'. Sometimes it's on a sticker on the camera or the box. I didn't see anything in the user manual but I may not be looking at the same one that shipped with your camera.

I do see they have an 800 number to call, so that might be worth a shot.

There also this page, which says the cams do not come with a preset password, but that they can be reset via the app:

The responses seem to indicate that it doesn't work, though. I'd call their number.
