    CGI Reboot script using cURL not working

    I'll try the other suggestion first, since yours leaves me a little puzzled ;-)

    CGI Reboot script using cURL not working

    Tried that also. I'll try again though, syntax error always get me. The line I originally posted works in the browser, just not cURL.

    CGI Reboot script using cURL not working

    Can anyone give me a hand? Running "http://192.168.1.200:81/hy-cgi/device.cgi?cmd=sysreboot&user=12345&pwd=67890" works to reboot my cams. Running it through cURL I get an unauthorized 401 error. When any of my cameras drop in BI, they are still viewable with other software, hence they can be...

    Bedside monitoring

    Had to upgrade firmware on all my cams tonight and awaiting on a response back to purchase a second license. Right now, the multi-cam zone trigger idea has my interest. So, I am trying to figure out how to implement that.

    Multi-Cam zone trigger.

    Thanks for the input tangent, but those suggestions are not quite what i am looking for. I do think it could be accomplished, just haven't figured out the logic yet. I can't believe no one utilizes something like this already. Even a simple mute alarm until 2 alarms are simultaneously active...

    Multi-Cam zone trigger.

    I may have posted this in the wrong spot, so re-posting here. I wanted to know if there was a way to accomplish a type of 3D spacial triggering. I'll try to explain a scenario for clarity. Say I have a 40' x 40' room. The door is on the north wall, centered. Cameras (2) are on the south wall...

    Bedside monitoring

    Fenderman, now that i think of it, this would only work on the server, correct?

    Bedside monitoring

    Basically, I want everything as dark as possible (for sleeping), but when an alarm triggers ti comes to the foreground. Fenderman has a good suggestion, I just dont know if it will display the alarm while BI runs as a service, or is minimized.

    Bedside monitoring

    OK, sounds valid. Any idea for having a dark screen until triggered? Also, any way to view/monitor on a PC other than Web interface?

    Help with play back and recording!

    Understood, but looking at value/cost... in my situation, 6 decent cameras for 375.00 is better than one awesome camera for the same price (just more coverage). That is IF you do not rely on them for critical alarms without redundancy. As long as they stream constant video, hold up under...

    Bedside monitoring

    Maybe i didn't word things correctly. The reason I am using a laptop (question asked earlier) is because it handles 6 cameras with a lower utilization than my desktop. Yes, i am aware of different i5's and i7's. Was simply stating my I7 laptop handles BI better than my i5 desktop. The push...

    Bedside monitoring

    Also, I get very few false triggers any more, after a lot of experimenting with the configurations. The only false trigger I get now (like tonight) is when a bird decided to land on my cam ;-)

    Bedside monitoring

    I have the Android app. I have it on a few phones and tablets. The response is not as quick however. The alarms i get through the android push lag the server alarm by up to 1 minute in some instances. One minute, for a home invasion, break in, etc.... is great deal of time. My laptop running BI...

    Bedside monitoring

    Have two, and they bark only when the doorbell triggered by BI goes off, lol. At night... they don't even do that!

    Bedside monitoring

    My current setup is using BI. I had the laptop (BI Server) next to my bed to alert me. However, the light from the laptop (even at it's dimmest) is too intrusive. I want to move the server to a more hidden location, but need a bedside monitoring solution that is just as quick as the server...

    Live view freezing

    Delayed follow up... Everything is running great, forgot what resolved my issues even... was just new at configuring I guess. I removed all cams, re-installed and re-configured. I remain wireless (rent the house), but no issues dropping connections.

    Help with play back and recording!

    I am currently using 6 Wansview cams, 4 k2 and 2 PTZ, all at 1080 (have them stepped down to 720p for lower bitrate however). I have had 0 issues with them in 6 months. 3 of them I have outdoors even (the k2's are indoor only), but they are under a porch roof. Temps got to around 10 degrees F...

    Multi-Camera Trigger (Motion)

    Wanted to know if there was a way to accomplish 3D triggering. I'll try to explain a scenario for clarity. Say I have a 40' x 40' room. The door is on the north wall, centered. Cameras (2) are on the south wall (centered, elevation of 5') and east wall (again, centered, elevation of 5'). If I...

    Live view freezing

    Every since installing BI, I have had intermittent issues with live feeds freezing. Sometime 1 of the 6 cameras, sometimes all 6, at the same timestamp on the feeds. I use Wansview cameras, two models, 2 PTZ and 4 fixed. When BI freezes the video, I can start the Wansview app and everything is...

    Android Phone as a Camera

    I got it. Thanks everyone. It was mjpeg 1 /videofeed. Not quite sure what I was doing wrong, I set up another phone, it worked. I removed and set up the original, it is now working.

    Android Phone as a Camera

    I'll post screens hots when I get a chance. I tried every model under generic, there is no lg/g2 in the dropdown. For path, I tried various path names.

    Android Phone as a Camera

    I have used Android phones as cameras on many applications. Some of them work pretty well! The LG G2 has great low light and good picture quality, so I want to get them working in Blue Iris (just purchased, but had issues setting them up in the eval version also). I am using Wansview K1 cams as...

    Need help setting up IP Webcam app/Phone

    Glad to join everyone! I am using the demo of Blue Iris and set up two wansview K1 cameras. Everything is working great and I'll have a ton of questions to set up everything once I pull the trigger and purchase (mostly app push notifications). In the meantime... I have an issue setting up an LG...
