Hello, I'm new on here and have only basic understanding of NVR cameras so if any of my info is incorrect please let me know.
I am trying to set up a security system on my property, but I am unable to get the cameras to connect to blue iris. Currently I am just trying to do a proof of concept test to make sure I can get all of the cameras to connect to blue iris so all of this is just bench testing before I mount the cameras and run the wiring.
Goal:
My plan is to have the 10 cameras connected to a 16 channel poe switch that connects to a computer running blue iris (for testing I have the computer that the switch is plugged in to on wifi but when installed it will be plugged directly into the router)
Hardware:
I have 10 cameras: 6x used axis q3517-slve, 1x used axis p3227-lv, 3x new surevision sp-vp8-n
The Poe switch I am using is from amazon "PoE Switch with 16 POE Ports +2 Gigabit Uplink,1 x 1.25G SFP,802.3af/at PoE+ 100Mbps, 240W Built-in Power, Extend to 250Meter"
The computer I am using to run blue iris for testing is a dell latitude 5430 rugged running windows 11 pro, with 8gb ram, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz, 500gb ssd (i will likely find a used desktop and upgrade it as needed to replace the laptop after I get the system installed and functioning)
Software:
the blue iris version that I have downloaded is Release 5.9.9.58 x64 (6/3/2025)
the laptop is running windows 11 pro
the axis cameras were last used in 2020 but I updated the firmware on a few of them and it made no difference in the results
Issues:
Currently I cannot even figure out the IP addresses of the surevision cams. blue iris doesn't see them on "find/inspect" feature and I have tried running advanced port scanner while various cams are connected and the axis cams show up but not the surevision cams
additionally blue iris does not show a signal from the axis cams, it can detect them and gets the IP address and when I have the correct user and password entered it will display the following in the "inspecting" window after clicking the "find/inspect" button:

Foscam FI86xx/98xx compatible?
Foscam FI89xx compatible?
Foscam FI9821 V2 compatible?
Foscam FI9821 media port compatible?
Cantonk port 34567?
RTSP port open?
RTSP port detected!
Done
I am not sure how the settings should be configured but leaving them as default only shows error: 8000007a (check port/user/password) 0
I can access the axis cams with their IP address in a browser so i dont think there is an issue with the hardware but i dont know enough about networks to get it working.
from what I read online I believe the issue might be with the subnet mask, gateway and IP not being compatible but the fact that I can access the cams on the browser makes me think i have something configured incorrectly in blue iris.
is there a way to detect the port and protocol for a camera? i have factory reset the cameras so i am confident in the user and password.
any help would be greatly appreciated, I have a crazy neighbor that has trespassed on my property several times now after being told not to and i want to have eyes on my belongings in case they start to disappear
