    JSON Cmd to TALK... doesn't exist... does it?

    I was going to setup a JSON script routine to read my arduinos via com port since com ports do little to BI, however, I noted the JSON command list isn't quite comprehensive. In fact, the "talk" command isn't listed in the context drop downs, only shown on the UI control panel. ... Just got back...

    Strobe/LED for Alarm Output

    First post... I have a few Hikvision cameras that have an alarm output. I would like to attach a strobe or LED that would simulate a camera flash. Does anyone know an easy way to do this? My issue is that when the alarm output is activated, the strobe or LED will stay illuminated until motion...

    IOT Interface Box, How to connect contacts to BI using an Arduino

    Attached is an article on how to connect external devices to and from Blue Iris. This project is an IOT Box. It will allow BlueIris to control things that may be connected to its relay contacts and respond to contact closures on things like motion sensors. The IOT Box communicates with BI...

    Blue Iris Serial to/from Arduino (Inputs and Outputs).

    I’ve seen some examples of Arduino code for trigger Blue Iris on the forum, but don’t think I’ve seen anyone that uses both write and read from/to Blue Iris. Anyhow I think Blue Iris is great software and wanted to share my Arduino code and maybe someone can use the hole or part of it. I’m a...

    BI digital outputs with alerts

    I'm having trouble setting up Digital outputs that trigger when movement is detected on a camera. I have found a ton of write ups on using Arduino to send a bit to BI to trigger an event (EI: camera record) but I cannot find anything on BI sending a bit out to an Arduino. My system: I have...

    Hacking Chamberlain Reporter driveway alert PIR detectors for alarm inputs

    I've had an older model Reporter driveway alarm for years. It came with a 5A rated relay switch for additional alarms. After updating to the newest version, now produced by Chamberlain, I've found that the external alarm switch is no longer included on the circuit board. Without modifications, I...

    Ardhuino for posting weather data on Hikvision OSD

    I want to post the outside temperature on the OSD of a Hikvision camera using an Arduino. I can't rely on traditional weather info because just a few miles away where places like Weather.com get data from is 1 miles lower in elevation making the weather data worthless. I can get the Arduino to...
