Any recomendations for a solar powered outdoor wifi camera that would work with blue iris? Bought a couple off amazon and after finaly figuring out the ip address there's no login screen to get into the camera settings. Therefore I assume there's no way to hook it up to Blue Iris? Just looking for something for outside our horse barn to keep an eye on the animals. Thanks!

Nope because unless you make one yourself, they will struggle to stream all night to BI and then BI will throw constant no signal errors.

Yes, and a big solar panel or two, but minus inverter, just a charge controller ... Sometimes I'm thinking about building something like that myself, but at the end of the day just having network cables with POE is much simpler and better in general.
