Re: Blue Iris can't handle Reolink E1 Pro RTSP

I just picked up 4 ReoLink E1 Pro's. Didn't do enough research and am now regretting it. I can't get any of them to connect to Blue Iris (running latest LTS as of 19 May) - I'm about to turn on RTSP and am hating it. It warns that the video wont be encrypted. If I was hard wiring all of these, I wouldn't mind as much, but since I'm running WiFi, that's kind of a no go. I'll do it for now to test things, see if I can get it working in BI, but pretty sure at this point, I'm done.
I've been Doing My Part to work with ReoLink, but after 4 years of fighting with them and trying to get them to work with BI, I think this has done me in. 12 outside cameras and 4 internal (the 4 will be going back, too late for the others). I was in so deep with RL, that I just couldn't give up on the ecosystem. Too much money/time. However, it's just not worth it any more. I need to shift to someone else that plays well with Blue Iris. Not all these dropped connections all the time (I'm on RTMP). Lowered video quality .have a dedicated server that the CPU, once over to RTMP, hardly goes up, GPU hardly goes up, RAM is barely in use and runs a 10gb connection to my network (supports up to 40gb). The switch is a PoE switch that runs nothing but the cameras and two rooms, one of which is unoccupied. It also has a 10gb link to my network. Bandwidth isn't an issue.
Even though I'm going to be sending these back, since the posts were lost, the images people used to get the E1 Pro's working can't be viewed. Anyone feel like posting the settings/method they used?
Along with that, any recommendations for replacement cameras? I know, do my research - I'm just starting so thought I'd ask...
