Reviving an old thread ... have folks figured out how to stream to a tile (I use Sharptools) via BI and not have each stream consume 10-15% CPU? I was using TinyCamPro with an android box that just bit the dust so was going to look into streaming from BI.
I do not use SharpTools but I glanced at the Knowledge Base and learned that it cannot use RTSP but you can stream MJPEG to it.
In one KB section
here it states: "
Blue Iris is a popular NVR which runs on Windows and can convert RTSP streams to MJPEG"
More on that is found in BI's built-in "Help" file under "Administration" => "HTTP INTERFACE" => "Direct image and video requests"; It states that this HTTP URL will fetch a MJPEG stream: /mjpg/{cam-short-name}/video.mjpg
Example: http://BI-Server_IP: BI-Server_Port/mjpg/Cam12/video.mjpg or as in
You'll also need to address authentication issues with BI and you can find useful info from
@erkme73 here :
Embed credentials on Blue Iris Web Server URL
I believe you'll find that you will need to configure your BI server settings to require login and session keys from ALL connections but the IP of where SharpTools is being served, such as this: ^SharpTools-Server_IP ; such as ^192.168.1.68
The caret (
^ ) tells BI that
no authentication is required when a HTTP request comes from that IP.
This authentication info is also found in BI's Help, located at "Remote Access" => "OTHER ADVANCED WEB SERVER TOPICS" => "Authentication"
Good luck!
