Yes, you simply put in the IP address of each camera (that has to match the IP subnet of the NIC)
So if you have one NIC that is IP subnet 192.168.1.xxx it will see any cameras at 192.168.1.xxx and if the other NIC is subnet 192.168.2.xxx it will see any cameras on the 192.168.2.xxx subnet
But if you have two different subnets going to one NIC, it will only see the one that the subnet is tied to.

Thank you for your help. Those are the IPs you show not the subnets. I do have them on different IPs and BI don't find the second one. I don't see how to change the subnet with my Win. 10. Here is a pic of the only options that I find.

Thank you for the help. I have actually had that configuration and B.I. would not find the camera I had on the second router with that IP.
Thank you for the reply. I have had IP4 enabled when I was setting up this. That was just the way it was when I took the screenshot.
So you have two routers, each with a different subnet, going to one NIC or two routers, each with a separate subnet, each going to the respective subnet NIC?
I have my router its actually an extender from the main router that's connected to the modem and it is connected to my onboard NIC. I have four cameras connected to that and they work fine. I am trying to connect a TPlink router that I have installed DDWRT firmware in, to an ad on NIC to add one more camera because if I can get it to work with Blue Iris Software I will move another camera over to that router. Hope this explains what I am actually trying to accomplish.

When you do a command ipconfig, are both NIC's showing on your pc. This example shows my 192.168.12.1 which is my main router and the 10.0.0.1 which goes to most cameras and to another router (no internet)
This is mine. I have tried it with both of these settings and I can't even get the camera to connect to that router now.

It would be nice if you posted a network topology diagram so we could actually understand your connections. See the one below that is a simplified version of an old set up. I had a few old LaView cams that required an internet connection so I had them connected like this.
Can you ping the cams that are not showing up? How are they getting power?

Conflict in that first photo showing ethernet 2 with 192.168.2.xxx where the gateway is 192.168.1.x
Are your cameras set up with static IP's? If they are, they would have to be setup to match the gateway that you are moving them to.
Are these wifi or POE cameras powered via a switch?

This is the best I can do with that. Hope it is ok. Another thing I noticed is in the ipconfig pics when the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 the default gateway is grayed. When it was 255.255.0.0 it was not. All cameras are on their own power supply. Also I get this when pinging both routers- Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss)

The second pic is the way it is now, however I did notice on that one with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is is grayed for some reason but with it 255.255.0.0 it is not.
