cant find my hikvision on blue iris please help

[justaddsun 0]

I have a hikvision 3mp bullet camera. I had to buy a tplink poe switch to power it, and now i have it all plugged in, but can't get a signal on blue iris.

 

i have the cam plugged in the poe port on switch, modem to router then router to switch. sadp says ip address is 192.168.1.16 and hikviosion says default port is 8000. but when i put this in blue iris it says error check ip address and port.

 

Trying to monitor a new puppy and need help

thanks in advance!!

I just downloaded that software to try it and i got it to work. Put in your ip address, HTTP Port:8000 and RTSP PORT:554 and click on HikVision DS-2CDXXXX RTSP and press ok. Why not use IVMS Software from HikVision. Also retype the password 12345 in the box

The default http port is 80. 8000 is the media port. All blue iris cares about (for the video stream) is the rtsp port which is 554 by default. Thats why when abdelm01 put 8000 in the http port it still worked. OP is probably using blue iris because the hikvision is not his only camera and needs software that can be used with various brands...or there a features that ivms does not support like webserver or software based motion to allow for different settings for recording vs alerts, to name a few.
