Hi, i have a Dahua TiOC camera with active threat deterrence, it has a strobe light & audio which plays thru the camera as an active deterrence, how do i activate the strobe light when blue iris senses motion?

These cameras have been around since 2021, and i hate using the the cameras onboard motion detection system, only because i cant deactivate it on the go via mobile app.

There are some threads that discuss the dahua API that you might be able to use to do this by running commands upon a trigger... A better solution would be to email support and ask him to implement this directly... He will likely need temporary access to your camera and possibly a copy of the API...
 
You have to have it do a command to run the API and then another command to turn it off.

Code: 
http://192.168.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting[0][0].FarLight[0].Light=10&Lighting[0][0].NearLight[0].Light=90&Lighting[0][0].Mode=Manual

Or do as I do since I find the onboard motion more than adequate - I set up a profile to turn off all my light and audio commands from the camera.

Depending on your camera it is either

Code: 
/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&DisableLinkage[0].Enable=true

OR

Code: 
/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoAnalyseRule[0][4].EventHandler.VoiceEnable=false

And then switch true to false or vice versa to turn them back on.


API to turn on light for the IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV

I have an IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV which has a light or "illuminator" as it is called in the settings. I originally had a lot of problems with this cam but with Andy's latest firmware he sent me, things seem to be good enough for me to keep them (You are the best Andy!) Question 1: Do any of you...

The model number is HDW3648H, the above does not work, perhaps this newer model has different commands.
 
Bummer. The unfortunate thing is Dahua seems to not stay consistent with their API commands, which would make it a hard feature to add by the BI developer. It could be done, but it would have to be a per camera protocol setup.

I can pull this from the API, if anyone could help, would be a lifesaver.

Try this to activate the alarm light. It will flash 9 times if successful, then stop.
