My cat is at a specialty vet for radio iodine therapy, and they've provided me with a link to her live webcam:


plus a case-sensitive username and password. These work in my browser, and I'm watching her now.

I can't figure out how to get the stream into Blue Iris:

This does not work. I get a

Note that I have no control over the camera itself. It's their camera, and I'm just trying to store the stream.

What am I doing wrong?

p.s. yes, resolution=1280x960 also works in the browser, just in case someone wants to point that out!
 
Assuming you had logged into cam's webGUI and set up MJPG stream of that res, it's enabled and you know which profile or stream you're calling (like 0, 1 or 2, etc.) then in BI on the page you posted try a different "model" drop-down....leave "Make" at "Generic/ONVIF" but instead try "MJPEG Stream" instead for ""Model"....works with my Dahua. :cool:

If no go, leave RTSP port in BI at default 554 and put the ":1249" up top to the right of the URL ".net".

I use http://blueiris:81/mjpg/Front? on my Roku, so I added a new cam using http://blue_iris_system:81 and put /mjpg/Front? (Front is the group of cams), then used the following:
Make: Generic/ONVIF
Model: MJPEG stream
Main: default /mjpg/Front?

It created a new cam with the 4 cams in Front...
 
No luck.

I've put it in as Generic/MJPEG Stream, but no combination of port number in the URL or in the Media port or Discovery port results in video. I always get an HTTP 400: Bad Request.

And I have the protocol set to https, exactly as it is in my working browser link, and the path to the stream, e.g. /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480, is also exactly as it is in my working browser link.

Any other ideas?
