Remote Amcrest P2M-844EW No Signal in Blue Iris

Post by brickhost »

Temporarily I need to setup four remote Amcrest P2M-844EW cameras to stream into my main BI box. I have everything setup in terms of dynamic dns and ports, are opened through the remote router. I can watch the cameras through the web remotely but for some reason BI will not stream video. I have read a few threads on this forum and elsewhere and have tried using different manufactures (like dahua and amcrest) and have run through the inspect tool, which doesn't come back with any errors.

Can anyone share any advice?

Or are there a range of ports that need to be forwarded, but it just isn't well documented.

Attached are two screenshots showing the configuration of one camera and the corresponding settings in BI.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm hoping I've just missed something simple!

And the log from the inspection:

But I get this error in BI:

Working on another camera, I deleted it and re-added it but still get no signal.

Here are the settings I'm using in BI.

I'm having this exact issue and have tried a multitude of settings, as well. My foscams no issues. My amcrest ip2m-844e , of course.

Did you ever figure this out or get help from anyone?

Just found your other thread on ipcamtalk. My router already is dd-wrt at remote site. I can view video just fine through the web front and ipcamviewer pro but BI will not get a signal.

I don't use BI anymore. It's too much of a resource hog. But I did go in and was able to get my Amcrest cameras to work. I used Amcrest and then the ProHD etc. on the drop down for the model. Make sure you set and specify the RTSP port in BI and make sure you have the RTSP port forwarded in your router.
