Use 12v to trigger Blueiris from Motion Sensor?

[Robd007]

I have a motion sensor receiver that can output a 5 second 12v signal when triggered. Is there anyway of converting that 12v signal to somehow trigger blueiris? There's also a speaker output..maybe that could work too?

@Robd007 Welcome to the forum..yes..blue iris has built in compatibility with sealevel devices such as this one. eI/O Ethernet to 4 Optically Isolated Inputs, 4 Form C Relay Outputs Digital Interface Adapter (Item# eIO-120E)
They can be had on ebay for much cheaper...
Also see several threads discussing arduino integration however that will take more technical knowledge..

Thanks @fenderman I found this usb one that looks like it should work as well USB to 4 Isolated Inputs Digital Interface Adapter (8113) since everything is close to the blue iris machine. Hoping to have my ptz focus on the location where motion is detected. If that all works out it's gonna be sweeeet

I would go with an ethernet unit...this allows you to place the unit anywhere you wish..it wont be tied to the pc...
