I would love to take the local downtown cam and feed it into my BI5 app. I did an inspection of the webpage HTML and found the direct cam link is this:
http://24.61.156.10:9001/axis-cgi/mjpg/ ... 7926246294
I tried adding that URL into BI and it detected RSTP, etc so I thought it might work but no luck. Is doing this possible? If the cam was setup to require a password I understand it would not work, but the fact I can access the steam with the above URL indicates to me that a password/login shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Embed a website cam into BI5
Re: Embed a website cam into BI5
This is something I've tried also, with traffic cameras.
I know it can be done with VLC, then streamed into BI. But, I was not able to figure that out either.

Blue Iris's network IP camera configuration panel has a lot of ways to do the same thing and this causes a lot of ambiguity. The way I would recommend to configure that cam is this: (untested because the URL wasn't working when I wrote this)
Re: Embed a website cam into BI5
wow! this actually worked more or less (the example i gave is down now for whatever reason so i picked a different cam).
The URL fwiw for my test is:
http://23.30.133.142:9001/axis-cgi/mjpg ... 0453959222
The only change I needed to make to your example was in the address, I had to use the port number:
23.30.133.142:9001
When I set the port # in the other 2 boxes, and clicked find/inspect, it still tried to query on port 80. When I manually set the port # as part of the address,
it queried 9001, kicked back some errors, but then it worked!! Thanks!!
