No. I have the motion detection sensitive enough to record any movement it detects...so this would be overkill@fenderman have you ever done anything like this?
what did you use to build yours? i was thinking i would get something i can build on a home automation system but i wonder about tying into one of these with one of the controllers you mention. even then, can BI accept commands via IP? - i should have read your post again. i now realize i was thinking this backwards.depends on your alarm system, but you could always do something like wire a Raspberry Pi into your alarm system and have it relay commands via IP back and forth.
i designed my alarm from the ground up to have this capabilities, its all tied into my home automation system and so are my cameras.

Thanks! I think now I just need to find a Home Automation / Security platform that meets my needs and can send the needed signal to whatever interface I end up with for BIhttp://www.sealevel.com/store/8112-usb-to-4-optically-isolated-inputs-4-form-c-relay-outputs-digital-interface-adapter.html
That might be more what you are after then.
There was a thread about it on Cam-It a while back

This thread might be useful to you as well

Thanks. This works in a web browser. I will play around with it. I bought a Smart Things Hub. It has a Shield for Arduino as an option. Maybe I can do something with that.haven't done it, but sure looks possible.
from the BI help file (bottom of web server section):
path /admin?camera=x&trigger will Trigger camera x (short name)
there's probably a way to trigger a cam group as well, but maybe that just happens automagically if
your cams are grouped to trigger together anyways?
edit: i guess the above assumes your alarm system can somehow send an arbitary http request,
whcih is what Nayr's suggestion addresses...
i get this. odd, i have user auth on. not sure if that is coming from the webserver or not.you could try http://username:password@ip:port/path if it works make a login just for your API calls.
