Control Notification via URL

[Col8]

Is it possible to switch on and off email notifications via a post URL. If so could someone share the URL string syntax.

Thank you kindly

I figured it out. Just in case anyone else is interested:

IP of BI:81/admin?camera=x&alerts=y.

where X = camera name.
and y = alert status required. Set y to one of the following values:
-1 = never
0 = when this camera is triggered
1 = any camera in group is triggered
2 = when any camera is triggered

Thanks for sharing.

FWIW, no authentication in the URL is required if BI user “anonymous” is enabled. But If user “anonymous” is NOT enabled and you have created a user and password in BI to be used when issuing the above HTTP command, then you must also place that user/password at the end of the URL that is sent to BI.
That would add “?user=username&pw=password” to the end, so the example URL now would be

http://BI-server-IP:81/admin?camera=x&alerts=y?user=username&pw=password

.
Additionally, you must also go to “Web server” => “Advanced’ and UNcheck “use secure session keys and login page”.

Thanks Tony.

I ended up adding an IP exception from the device on my LAN sending the commands via the BI webserver tab.

That'll work, too!
