Trigger alert through HTTP

[RedP]

I am using this command to try and trigger an alert

http://10.0.0.111:81/admin?camera=Cam1&trigger&user=admin&pw=password

returns Authorization required

But that is the correct username and password according to the desktop app, re entered it and changed it.
any advice

Probably needs digest authorisation rather than basic.

How will you be calling that command? Curl, wget?
