Subscription

[khkIY654]

Could someone tell me if the following features are unavailable to an expired subscription.

• Push notifications
• Camera / On Alert / Run a program or write to a file / Action: Run program or script / file: "Any executable"

Nothing in BI log to indicate any Push or Run exe.

Firewall shows no Push connection attempt when triggering a camera.
I'm using Outpost firewall so I can see live connection attempts.

Release: 5.8.0.16 x64
Level: Basic
Expires: 20/11/2023

An android you don't need annual support, apple yes as the certificate is only good for one year.

Most use the pushover app instead of BI app to get around it.

Thanks wittaj,

I would like to use Pushover but my BI on Windows 10 will not run any scripts or exe via,

• Camera / On Alert / Run a program or write to a file / Action: Run program or script / file.

Would you know if this is based on a Windows 10 Blue Iris subscription?

Nothing in BI log to indicate any Push or Run exe.

Curl is built into Windows 10 and BI can run it from an alert. See the below thread on how to run curl.exe to send Pushover notifications OR modify to run your desired script:

Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

I've figured out how to send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks from Blue Iris Actions without using external scripts. This approach uses curl and the Pushover API, and provides functionality similar to that recently described for Telegram . EDIT (5/16/2022) - For those who...

Thank you Tony,

This looks promising.

I was also testing with running notepad.exe upon alerts and noted that there was no notepad window regardless of the BI Action window mode setting. I discovered that notepad.exe was always running as a background process in task manager.

My above discovery was made after I implemented your curl advice and noted that there was a curl connection attempt upon BI Trigger now.

Thank you for your help. I will experiment with curl & Pushover.

Thank you ATGPUD2024,

That's a good recommendation and quite affordable.

I have also experimented with TonyR's Pushover suggestion with good success.

Yes, that is a good a recommendation .
