    Http post to change to ptz preset?

    Just in case someone else stumbled across this in search again....... The Reolink E1 Zoom has the rtsp feed and onvif compatibility. Just not on by default. You need to turn the "server" on through its Web page by going to its IP address in a browser, then finding network, advanced, and turn...

    Http post to change to ptz preset?

    Just a cheap(ish) cam that I believe is not seen favourable by some on here... Reolink E1 Zoom. Its worked well re keeping stable even over wifi, and I find the night vision good enough for me for my application of looking over my dog food Feeder (thus the ptz command from my home automation...

    Http post to change to ptz preset?

    So I realise this is an old post. And it ended up maybe not being for Blueiris.. But on searching in google I ended up here first. So thought I shouid provide my solution here in case it helps someone else. Note if using hubitat or potentially home assistant to untick the box mentioned below. I...

    Easiest way to get triggers from blue iris to tinycam

    I'm running this on a google tv so was concerned that the motion detection may be a constant drain on the processor, taking into account my bluebiris pc is always on doing the work of motion detection already. I have a shield but it's not in the place where I need the camera feed shown on motion.

    Easiest way to get triggers from blue iris to tinycam

    That's good to know for future. I'm only monitoring on motion (while watching a movie) so no need to watch video in full screen in my case Yes floating windows. Yeh it works. Need to allow draw over other apps in settings. That part works. I tried installing Blue iris on google tv in the...

    Easiest way to get triggers from blue iris to tinycam

    Nit ideal on android tv. Partly because it doesn't come with a browser by default.. And it wouldn't have window mode. Tinycam works and can access cams direct or the webserver of blueiris. But I'm not sure how it's best to get the motion trigger over to tinycam from blue iris without more...

    Easiest way to get triggers from blue iris to tinycam

    In the past I used a long winded way to get camera feeds to show in android tv by using blue iris motion detection to send a push through autoremote that then on android tv use tasker to open a tinycam window. Worked ok but I dont really want to have tasker on a droid tv device just for that...

    IP camera as webcam

    Anyone have any suggestions for software to bridge an IP camera (Dahua and Hikvision cameras) to be used as webcam in windows? I know there are software available to make IP cameras available, but I am not sure if there are any that stand out or whether I can utilise Blue Iris itself (haven't...

    Dahua Ethernet ip camera convert to wireless

    They will be within 20m of each however I wanted to keep this on the same network as the other wired ip cameras that on my work network. I have a blue iris setup for multiple wired ip cameras that I plan on streaming internally on our network using the Webserver. I'm not sure if it's possible...

    Dahua Ethernet ip camera convert to wireless

    So this would plug into my camera with the Ethernet port, put the device into bridge mode and then connect it to my work wifi? Is that how it works? It seems that way from my reading about bridges and access points. I can't see if it supports wpa2 enterprise however but might keep looking for...

    Dahua Ethernet ip camera convert to wireless

    Thanks for the link. I'm not sure I see how that'll work though. My understandimg is that it's a router with a 3g modem in it. So it won't out my camera on the same network as the other fixed wired cameras I have already. I was looking at these but as mentioned above, getting the power into the...

    Dahua Ethernet ip camera convert to wireless

    So in summary, I hoped to power the camera from battery ( I have a few portable batteries with 5V, 12V and laptop voltages) and use wireless of some sort (keeping in mind our wpa2 is enterprise so most cameras won't connect through wifi) like the point to point bridges.

    Dahua Ethernet ip camera convert to wireless

    At work I have a number of Dahua ip cameras to record some laboratory testing. I am now looking at changing one of the cameras to a mobile unit. I would look at a wireless camera (yes I know wifi is frowned apon here as it's not reliable, but I have a reason to go wireless) but our wifi uses...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Sorry I meant autoremote (another plugin) not autoinput. I'll correct it above

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Working from google home end to the cameras... The process for me is this. Tell Google home hub (or any google home) to open a camera. Ifttt is triggered (I setup google assistant as a trigger aka "this" in ifttt) which then sends a webhook. I have autoremote and tasker installed on my Android...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    I'm guessing you didn't been try googling "Android box"??? The easy solution is to look for a camera that has google hub compatibility. Easily found using Google.

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    I'm using ifttt integration of google assistant to send a http get request to my Android box through autoinput which triggers to send the video feed from blue iris to the Google hub (autocast plugin). Little complicated but it works. I previously used home assistant to do this but can't...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Do you need sound? As the mjpeg option works from Home Assistant on my raspberry pi, as well as Tasker on my android box. I need sound and no delay, which is why I am a little stuck.

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Update: Casting the chrome tab does not work for me. Only option that works is cast the mjpeg feed which has no sound or the m3u8 feed which has sound but an extensive delay... For now I have run out of options and will stick with the tablet as the monitor, but hopefully in due time be able to...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Thanks for reminding me. I have been held up with home renovations so the google home hub is packed away... Will try the tab casting in the next week or so. At the moment I am leaning towards my nexus 7 2013 on a wireless charging stand which loads Blue Iris when motion is detected on the Blue...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    I wouldn't think so.. But might check if I can cast a chrome tab to the google home hub. Hopefully it works with sound, but I don't have my high hopes. I will be accessing the blue iris server in a chrome browser on my PC as per usual remote access and then cast the tab.. In saying this...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Shame I can't find a way to get sound to the chromecast without a large delay. I saw someone using ffmpeg but they still using mjpg with no sound

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Ok so I have now found the m3u8 feed works from the Blue iris Web server to the chromecast (actually a Google Home Hub) so can now cast with audio but... There is a large delay of 20 seconds for the video. Blue iris keep making the device connected sound but I assume that's part of the process...

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    I have found that using home assistant or using autocast can send the ip camera feed to the chromecast .. Except I can only make Motion jpg cast and that misses the sound and not a very good frame rate. On both ways... Hoping to get the h264 stream sent to chromecast from the blue iris Web...

    PTZ Presets

    I've got rid of my sricam now. Too many problems and the bigger one was cameras were moving on their own. Changed the subnet so no outside access was aloud and the cameras stopped moving by themselves ... Raises trust issues to me

    Blue Iris and Google home hub

    Reading seems to suggest this is not possible but thought I'd ask.. I was hoping to buy a google home hub and show video feed from one of my ip cameras in the blue iris sever on motion or audio detection (baby cam) At the moment I am using a nexus 7 on a wireless charger stand to do this. Blue...

    Software advice

    That does sound like an easy option, so thanks for you suggestion. To be honest, I haven't really explored how to do it in Blue Iris as I am away from my home PC for a few days. I have only used the motion detection recording. However I was more putting this out there in case someone said maybe...

    Software advice

    I think so. Schedules are time based though yes? Rather than event based? Typically we would setup a video camera, then manually start recording before the tests commence so I am trying to replicate that. Some times we will use a time lapse recording, and sometimes we will record continuously...

    Software advice

    Sounds like a good option. I will play around with that at home to see how it works

    Software advice

    At home I use Blue Iris and utilise motion detection as the cameras not only record activities, but they also trigger various home automation actions. But I am now looking at utilising Blue Iris at work (purchase another license), but this time more for recording some testing that occurs in our...
