When there is an alert one can issue a web request to notify other applications of the alert. I would like to do something similar for when recording start, recording end, etc. I can get the status via the JSON interface but that means I have to constantly poll BI for the status. Is there a way...

Turns out the value for profile needs to be a number rather than a string. Now it works. {"cmd":"camconfig","session":"15d8489728767d9525700ab22f136e94","camera":"Cam166","profile":4}

I am trying to change the profile of a cam via JSON. I did do the login which seems to be successful. I then send the following command where Cam166 is the short name of the camera for which I want to change the profile to 3 (I also tried "profile":"Profile 3")...

That worked after shutting BI down and starting it again. Thanks!

I am trying out the JSON interface and therefore do a lot of (failed) login attempts. BlueIris initially told me that I had too many login attempts and now I get an IP banned. How can I (temporarily) unblock this while I develop some code?

Is there some C# or VB class that can be used to control BlueIris via JSON? Basically, something that implements all the commands in the chapter "JSON INTERFACE", e.g. BlueIris::SetProfile(string cameraName, Profile profile) {...}

What is the difference between models that end with H-ZHE vs E-ZE vs E-ZHE? There is some description at the link here: https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/advice/4212-understanding-dahua-ip-camera-part-codes/ However, it's not clear to me what E (IR-Bullet / Dome / Single IR LEDs Plastic Eyeball)...

I am looking for a vari-focal version of the IPC-D54IR-ASE-S3 / IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE I found the following 3 on Dahua's website: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Network-Cameras/WizMind-S-Series/4MP/IPC-HDBW5442H-ZHE=S3...

I defined a web request action when there is an alert. It looks like this: [IP]/JSON?request=runevent&id=[ID] Never mind the parameters. It's just an example. The issue I am having is that BI seems to insert a default user name (admin) and probably some password. However, the GET request...

Ok, so it seems the alarm was actually always reset. I am saying this because it records for 10s and then the recording stops. And using @TonyR URL, I can make the recording stop before the 10s. The reason I thought the alarm is not reset is because the orange flash on the right side of the...

I want to use some of my cameras as motion sensor for home automation purposes. I can get them to detect motion and perform an action on the home automation system. However, the alert is not clearing until I manually clear it. I would like it to clear after say 10s so that when there is motion...

Thank you! It looks like reducing the allocated space helps. At least I didn't have any crash since I made the change some 30h ago. It's quite a bit of wasted HDD space, though. So now my BI dedicated "18 TB" (really a 16 TBytes drive) HDD only has about 12.7 TBytes available with 2.93 TBytes...

My BI v 5.3.2.11 x64 about a couple weeks ago started to crash and average of once a day. There is no particular time or even that I can see that is related to it. I checked the Windows Event Viewer but there is nothing in there related to BI. There were some windows update, i.e. KB5034466...

I have a new IPC-D54IR-ASE-S3 = HDBW5442R-ASE-S3 and was wondering if it's possible to change the alarm output from NO (Normally Open) to NC (Normally Closed). There is such an option for the alarm input, see attachment. However, I don't see anything for the alarm output.

So I tried this on my new Dahua camera. When there is NO motion, the resistance on the alarm out is infinite. When the camera detects motion, then the resistance goes down to 2 Ohms. I am actually able to wire this directly into the DSC alarm panel via a 5.6kOhm resistor (as with all other...
