What is the best way to "Pause" the trigger of a camera for a few seconds?

I have a camera that triggers based on another camera's IR lights coming on at a specific time of the day. This causes a false motion. What is the best way to "Pause" the trigger of a camera for a few seconds at the specific time the other camera is going to cause the motion? I simply want to ignore any motion for a number of seconds each day.

I know I can create a schedule where the camera is paused for a period, but I want the "ignore" period to exist regardless of the Profile that's running at the time.

Anyone have other ideas how to accomplish this? (e.g. is "pausing" the camera for a few seconds a good approach to doing this?)

You can experiment with these HTTP interface commands:

They could be issued by a Blue Iris Action Set Action by the camera with the IR lights, or by Task Scheduler if the time is the same every day, or by using sunwait.exe with Task Scheduler if the time is is dependent on sunset/sunrise. Learn more.

Thank you, I wasn’t aware this was available. I use other commands within the HTTP interface, but didn't see these there. I will give it a try. Thanks

Someday we may be able to say "Hey Blue Iris", "Pause camera 2's motion detection at 17:30 until 17:40"
If only Steve Wozniak was an Ipcam enthusiast. :)
 
Sorry no...... But my needs are simple w/BI.....

I was having notification PTSD from the Nightowl & Amcrest DVR's NVR's. :)
To the point were we just turned the setting off.

Now that I have Empiretech cams with AI, the false alerts dropped off in a Gihugic way.
I just review some of the the cams when I get home from work at 1 AM.....
As a Commercial vehicle driver, I have notifications off on my phone so the screen isn't getting interupted while I watch You Tube:screwy:
