0 mujtaba.khokhar Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 C4 driver isn’t much of an issue, you can use a generic driver all you need it a rtsp, or mjpeg stream url. driver made by Yatun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 msgreenf Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 A lot of battery powered cameras don't expose rtsp due to battery drain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ILoveC4 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I’d love a battery powered, wireless camera I can use as well. Anyone know of something that integrates with BlueIris? I can handle the recording and getting it to C4 via BI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 msgreenf Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 But that driver only works if your camera exposes snapshot jpg and rtsp h264 stream. Most battery powered don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wire for the cameras and a whole new world will be available to you. Wireless/battery operated cameras, in my experience, are pure junk.

Wireless/battery operated cameras, in my experience, are pure junk. I’ve wired for and installed a bunch of cameras around our property, and they’re awesome. I want something that I can easily move around and use temporarily…put up on a shelf for when we leave the kids with a sitter, etc… That’s my use case. Nothing permanent - just temporary use now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ILoveC4 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looks like this may be an option: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/eufy-eufycam-2-pro-2k-indoor-outdoor-add-on-security-camera-white/6414446.p?skuId=6414446&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=1402&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoP6LBhBlEiwAvCcthLtfHdrd4Vcz5_haE_cTAs8S5MId_UVs6o7H8NGspKq-_j5zzKQqAxoCzD0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Seems to work with BlueIris.

0 LollerAgent Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I use several of the Amcrest wireless IP cameras for things like this (kids rooms, etc). They work great with Blue Iris and I typically integrate them directly with C4 using @msgreenf's Amcrest driver. They are NOT battery powered though.
