Blue iris will not interface your advantech. You can also use blue iris to trigger a smart switch.

Is there any one can detail how to use blue iris to control a relay or switch? Or can blue iris can control wifi switch like sonoff? Sealevel deac is too much expensive to use, im looking for cheaper alternative so i can use in my home automation

I’m trying to do the same thing, using a SeaLevel 8206 box, but having difficulties setting up communication between it & BI, even though BI states the 8206 unit is compatible. Very little documentation on the subject.

You can let BI publish on mqtt when triggered, or trigger a camera in BI through mqtt. If you want to control a sonoff directly you can flash it with firmware called tasmota. You do need to setup a mqtt broker though
