Can I Just Add the NVR to View All the Cameras to BI?

[Naldy]

is it possible to just add the NVR to BI? if "Yes" how do i exactly do it... i tried adding the NVR's ip address to BI but it is only showing me 1 random camera from my network... here's the setting I have

What does it show if you increment the camera number ? If it shows the next camera, then you would add each camera seperately to BI5 with a different camera number. If not there will be a similar method to show each camera.

Depending on BI version and what Find/Inspect determines the main and sub RTSP link conventions are, if it even does, the camera number may or may not have any effect if it isn't automatically integrated with the RTSP link. It generally doesn't in my experience and defaults to Cam# 1 regardless..., but it may be random based on what Find/Inspect does or doesn't discover.

If Find/Inspect determines that the NVR uses common link conventions, they will be listed in the Stream Profiles dropdown menus accordingly. Each profile will represent a different channel number and associated camera if one is connected.

Create an identical NVR entry in BI for however many cameras are desired and simply change the Stream Profile entries to match the channel number of the desired camera and you're good to go.

The above considered, and depending on NVR and camera IP capability, adding the cameras directly to BI should be a fairly trivial process on its own.

The NVR and camera brand would be helpful in assisting with the most effecient method of integrating each (or either) into Blue Iris.
