If you use a home automation software such as Home Assistant, then most anything is possible.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't. Thinking of using hubitat but seems overkill over just having a background tool to do it. I might look into it though.
Is there a alarm device at the location of the BI server that can provide a dry contact relay closure upon the desired event?

Hmm. Very interesting. I could have hubitat open or close some kind of relay. How do I link that to the BI server though?

I'm thinking he's thinking of a Shelly device.

Yes!
The Shelly1 can receive the relay closure then send an HTTP command to Blue Iris!

Read more about HTTP commands in Blue Iris in BI's built-in "Help" at "Administration" => "HTTP Interface" for commands such as:
/admin?camera=x&profile=n[&lock=0/1] Temporarily force profile n on camera x (short name). Add &lock=1 to “hold” the the profile indefinitely. Use &profile=-1 to unlock and
revert to the normally scheduled profile.
