I purchased one of these, it's really good with the phone app... hands down a great value if it holds up to the weather good.
I've set it up of from my parents home in a field and using their wifi which I'm going to have to port forward for access I assume from my computer/blue Iris installation.
Question is besides IP# is there anything else that would need to be done here? I'm not entirely sure if the camera will drain the battery that is solar charged/powered if I run a feed via BI software. Is there a way to pause the video feed in the software if I can get it connected?
That is the link to the camera.
Thanks!

Do you know if the camera will stream RTSP / MJPEG to Blue Iris?
 
I really don't know, nothing in the manual notes it.
Now being solar charged and lithium battery I'm going to assume and the instructions indicate this that a full live stream constant viewing will just drain the battery too quick anyway.
But, I wouldn't mind connecting to it from the software (on demand) basically vs pulling out my phone and checking the pass.
Any idea how to tell if it has those options?

I will bet that it can't be streamed full time due to it's power source.
Don't expect much from a $30 camera.

Honestly I've bought $35 iCee cameras and they are awesome with the BlueIris software. They are powered and all but one is cat5 hardlined but the wireless one works flawless as well good clear video and recording. Very durable in all weather too.. so that's why I went with this one which the picture, audio and so on is outstanding so far.
As you say I doubt that I can live stream that one with the available power but I could add a backup battery powered by a larger panel that could sustain it.
Worth checking but I'm wanting to connect it to the software first otherwise all the other upgrades are pointless.
 
I'd like to see a night video in low light with someone moving quickly through the picture. The achilles heel of most cheap cameras is you can often only achieve a decent low light static image by using high gain /slow shutters, both of which lead to picture issues especially with movement. Most on here recommend gain less than 50 and shutter speed of minimum of 125th second (8ms).

Yeah at night the IR imaging isn't too great but it's enough for me to watch a skunk walk up under it and move around seeing decent detail. I can't complain for what the price line is as the dual camera viewing of the new models is pretty slick.
Sure there could be better I suppose which could be in the future for upgrading.
