If you\u2019ve got a Samsung SmartCam SNH-1011N<\/a> and you want to use it with Blue Iris 3<\/a>, I found a reasonable currently undocumented way to make it work. The camera currently isn\u2019t officially supported by Blue Iris, but it can be made to work with a few simple steps. I\u2019ve sent the following information to the Blue Iris developer and ideally it will become part of the standard application.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with Blue Iris \u2013 it\u2019s an extremely capable \u201cDVR\u201d for many of your IP based web cameras that you may own. I\u2019d highly recommend it. It does not however work with \u201ccloud-only\u201d style IP cameras, like DropCam.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After setting up the camera normally, and updating the firmware to the latest version (at the time of this, it is 1.07_130516), Add a new camera:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(I\u2019ve just right-clicked on the Camera\u2019s display).<\/p>\n

Then, fill out the name and the other important fields on the General<\/strong> tab:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click the Video <\/strong>tab, and select Network IP<\/strong> and then click the Configure\u2026 <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First, select the camera. As this camera isn\u2019t currently officially supported, you\u2019ll need to select the protocol and stream type instead:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select RTSP H.264\/MJPG\/MPEG4<\/strong> from the list. It\u2019s generally very near the top of the list. Next, type in the host name or IP address of the camera. It\u2019s whatever you used to set up the camera originally. <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you setup the SmartCam, you created a Private Key.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>Here\u2019s the strange part, type only the first eight (8) characters of the Private Key into the password field:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, just the first eight characters. If you use any more than eight, the connection will fail<\/font>. The camera only uses the first eight. <\/p>\n

Finally, in the Video \/ Path<\/strong> field, type: \/profile5\/media.smp <\/font>as shown below:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hit the OK<\/strong> button, do any other setup you\u2019d like, and the camera should be working!<\/p>\n

You might want to frame limit (as I was tracing the network traffic, I saw this was the recommended size that Blue Iris switches to automatically):<\/p>\n
