Hi all

Totally new here so hi to everyone

I have setup Blue Iris / Aitool and Deepstack (docker) and I am having trouble sending the trigger to BI to start recording

BI is ver 5.3.6.4 x64

Everything is up and running, except triggering

Couple of screenshots below of my settings

I am testing using

(drive is the short name of the camera)

If i enter the about line in a browser a authenication box opens

I am able to logon to BI using the credentials listed above

Is there a setting I am missing?

Thanks in advance

Simon

I think you must use the json interface that BI provides if you want to automate logging in. That's what I ended up doing in my code (I wrote some software to connect my alarmsystem to BI to trigger cameras based on which of the alarmsystem's PIR detectors triggered an alarm). I use the json interface exclusively.

Check out the BI manual section on the json interface and perhaps also take a look at this:
