Re: Connecting an Old Analog DVR to Blue Iris - Need Guidance

Post by djspot1975 »

I would like to thank you again for your patience and assistance in trying to help me regarding the DVR I want to view using the Blue Iris program. I wanted to mention that I've tried new Wireshark program screens that show why it's not possible to view any internal addresses that lead to the Port we're interested in inserting on Blue Iris. It's not possible; there are no results in that sense. I'm sharing screenshots from Wireshark, as well as a screenshot from the IP Cam Viewer program that connects the IP directly to the port without displaying in the complete address. Of course, I have already tried countless times with the internal IP address and the port in question, but there's absolutely nothing visible anywhere. Here are the specific screenshots.

In addition, the relevant port information is as follows:

Web Port: 80
Media Port: 554
Mobile Port: 34567
I also tried inspecting the code in Firefox using the Network tab, and I found various "GET" methods, including "play.html" and "play.xml?action=get." I attempted to include these parameters in the video configuration under the "Stream Profile Main," but unfortunately, I'm still encountering a black screen with a "No Signal" message.

Once again, thank you for your valuable advice. If you have any further suggestions or insights regarding the issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
How can I troubleshoot a black screen with a "No Signal" message when connecting an old analog DVR to Blue Iris, even though I have the correct port information and video configuration? I would be very happy if you could let me know, thanks

To the contrary It looks very much like Wireshark is providing relevant RTSP information. Unfortunately it is difficult to see the details. Could you please post actual screen shots?

edit: Disregard the request for screen shots as I was eventually able to download larger images of the Wireshark screens. I'll study the details and follow up shortly.

What do you mean by 'actual Wireshark screenshots'?

"Screenshot" = slang for a screen capture of the actual screen image saved as a .jpg file rather than a picture taken of the screen by a camera.

Regarding the captures, do another one with Wireshark already running before capturing the DVR so the first RTSP packet is visible.

There should also be additional information contained in the lines below by clicking the arrow next to each line.
