Hi i have managed to get my camera to popup/show the feed on my Echo show if it is triggered, is there a way i could send the gifs (like what show on an alert on my phone), or even say a snippet of what took place to trigger.

Thanks

Used a virtual button in Alexa via Voice Monkey, you get the url and drop it in the BI on alert tab, you also need Monocle, that’s the gateway for Alexa to see your cameras.

I have Monocle set up. I'll have to look at the rest. Thanks.

I run the Monocle gateway on same pc as BI and use the camera rstp feed, the BI feed doesn’t seem to work for me.

Do you use camera or BI feed.

Same. Running on BI server and using the camera feed. I only have one cam that I want to display on the Show. Haven't tried the BI feed. I will when I get a chance and let you know.

Overall, It's so slow to come up and lags so bad that I'm not sure how useful it really is. Maybe with the trigger it will be a little faster.
