I'm hoping someone has experience with Blue Iris and Omnipro II 5.7e touchscreens? I've tried every URL I can think of in the PC Dealer Access HAI/Leviton software and can't bring up an image. The same URL works in a browser. The camera names do appear on the 5.7e, but I either get no image or a system hang.



Thanks much....

My guess is the touchscreen's browser doesn't support javascript.

Have you considered mounting a little tablet on the wall instead?

HAI/Leviton says that I must find a URL in this format that bypasses any login screen (in other words, goes right to a video when put in a browser).

http://IPAddress:Port/QueryString

Can I shut off local LAN authentication in Blue Iris and come up with a URL like that? Thanks for any ideas....

I've now got my cameras appearing on my Omnipro 5.7e touchscreens. The image is small but actually quite clear. Ken, as usual had the link that would work- I needed to add a height command at the end of the URL. So here are the PC Dealer Access settings:

IP Camera Name: Any text
Type: MJPEG
URL:
http://192.168.1.268:8080/mjpg/cam1/?h=240 use the Blue Iris local address and port, as well as cam number assigned by BI
Number: All cams can be called "One"
FPS: 5
Quality: High
Resolution: either 320x240 or 640x480 doesn't matter, but using ?h=480 does improve the image, although it slows things a bit.
Username: Blank
Password: Blank
Be sure to disable local LAN authentication in Blue Iris under the Webserver tab
