Getting the hang of it
I’m starting to suspect there is yet one more thing I don’t quite understand about how Blue Iris works…
According to the help file:
In my case, I configured it this way:
So, in theory, triggers should be active even when the shield is not GREEN.
I picked a camera and configured it to be triggered via ONVIF, and set the immediate pre-alert actions as well:
The ONVIF events are being received correctly, and they are set to cause a trigger.
The pre-alert action is to send an MQTT message, and testing it with the bolt icon works perfectly. The MQTT messages are received.
This setup works fine when the shield is GREEN.
When the shield is RED, nothing is sent, despite having allowed triggers when the shield is not GREEN
Looking at the Blue Iris logs, I see this sequence of events when the shield is GREEN:
Sometimes the log msgs are out of order (not in the case shown above), I suppose it’s just because they come in very close to one another, so it shows an alert before the trigger, etc. but in any case it works.
When the shield is RED I only get this:
So the ONVIF event is received properly but for some reason the trigger is not made… and thus the MQTT message is not being sent…
Has anyone tried this before? Do the triggers actually work if configured this way and the shield is RED?
