    OpenVPN and Blue Iris on Separate Network?

    I setup my home network in the same way that you're trying to do. My basic firewall rule for the camera Vlan network (which includes the NVR server with one nic) is no internet access and no other vlan network access. My openVPN service sits on the router and has its own Vlan which has...

    I like the first format as it follows json style and is clearer to me. HomeAssistant runs on JSON so it's compatible, but one could parse either format and extract the complete payload in the message. I also like the timeout function as one could set this to say 600 seconds to limit screen...

    Hello, Ok that all makes sense. Thanks for look into this. To get around the BI limitations, would it be possible to create an mqtt function similar to the audio notice that's in UI3, only instead of playing audio, use toast style pop-ups. This would give one very granular control over when...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hello, I've had a chance to look at the new alert changes and there are a couple of problems. The pause icon does show when UI3 enabled and I pause a camera from the UI3 camera properties. The icon does not show if I pause a camera through an http call to Blue Iris such as...

    That's awesome. Thank you so much.

    This sounds like the way to go. The idea is that if I am in my garage, and there's an alert from the other side of the property on the front steps--which I have designated as a critical camera for the garage monitor-- there would be a toast like message on the screen with the message displaying...

    Hello, I have a couple of requests that I've been considering for a while and thought I'd place them together to see if any are feasible. Would it be possible to place a small warning icon on a camera's image when a camera is paused. My situation is that I pause cameras through Home Automation...

    I tried several combinations of actions that used to cause the error, with none of those actions causing any problems, so all looks good. Thx for the quick turnaround.

    The error doesn't occur during the actual clip deletion, but just after the deletions while refreshing the browser. It usually takes three refreshes to clear the error. I use two different streaming profiles: one for low resolution wireless tablet monitors, and another for wired PC...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hello. I went back a few months of forum posts to see if there were any mentions of the below error, but did not see anything posted. I'm using the latest BI version 5.7.6.7. The error has been occurring for at least the past 5 versions of BI. It occurs when I try to delete clips. I can...

    MQTT Alert messages from Blue Iris - not firing?

    That's pretty slick. How is the message received time on your phone (compared to the event) when sending a message from HA to your mobile app. I like that you can launch a clip on the app from an alert jpg. What player are you using? How are you fire-walling BlueIris on your LAN?

    MQTT Alert messages from Blue Iris - not firing?

    Yeah, DNS at a top level is easy. Layers down it's black magic. So you're saying that macros and JSON payloads do work? If so, I'll have to try that as they previously did not work.

    MQTT Alert messages from Blue Iris - not firing?

    I noticed with Camera Alerts that if any of the conditions are false, and there are many conditions, then the alert will not fire. Which gives you a fine grain adjustment, but can also easily cause failure. When you run the test on the alert itself, does it fire (the lightning bolt icon)? You...
