List Of Supported Cameras

[TrendNetJoe]

Does Blue Iris have a link, listing the cameras currently supported?

[Matts1984]

That would be a very, very, very long list. Essentially any camera that supports ONVIF/RTSP should work just fine which with the foreign (ie Asia) market there are probably 100 different brands of the same Dahua or Hikvision camera. 80-90% (I'm not making that number up, I've read it) are either Hikvision or Dahua cameras - or a rebrand of them. It's possible to get others to work as well but expect frustration and continuing cat and mouse game with things like Nest, etc.

That said, I'm not really aware of an official "officially supported" list. So many of the cameras are really more or less the same that it comes down to more "what features are you looking for" and... which one has the best deal on Amazon/eBay. I've been very happy with my SV3C cameras. Documentation isn't the best but really, you don't need it once the camera is online.

Thanks Matt1984,

I currently have some old TrendNet cams TV-IP100 & TV-IP501, plus a newer one from Wansview Q3S; are any of these supported by Blue-Iris?

The Wansview should absolutely work, no question. At first I started looking at the Trendnets and you're right, they are definitely older and I was going to say - I'd suspect so but won't guarantee it.... until I looked at the BI Import Wizard and the models you have are actually predefined in it's library so I'd very highly expect that they will - without trying myself though of course.

I am using about 15 different Chinese odd ball cameras and a couple Dahua and BI detected all of them and categorized them as generic/ONVIF and assigned various Main and Sub stream inputs.

[Matts1984]

Yeah mine are running generic/ONVIF too and work great. I think BI's capability of working with cameras is very flexible and configurable... there are some manufacturers however that just want you to use (ie pay) for their own system and limit/restrict the ability to use it openly.

Thanks to everyone for the replies,
