BlueIris
This article will guide you through MQTT integration and event setup. It will help you set up Blue Iris to use an MQTT server for event notifications on object detection and then set up AnotherRTSP for alert notifications and other behaviors.
Assuming you are already using the MQTT server on the network. If not read the page about the mqtt server.
In the Blue Iris Options panel, on the Digital IO and IoT tab under MQTT, select "Configure..." and enter the host and port of the MQTT server, and username/password if needed.
For each camera you wish to monitor, select "Camera properties..." and on the Alerts tab, check "Post to a web address or MQTT server" and then select "Configure...".
Binary sensors for motion, external, DIO, audio and watchdog (connectivity) per camera, In order to configure it in BlueIris you will need to go to:
Motion / External / DIO Camera settings -> Alerts: Fire when: This camera is triggered
Motion zones must be checked. At least 1 zone must be checked (A-H) with Any selected in the camera's drop-down OR All selected in the camera's drop-down
Action section: Click on On alert, in the popup window, create new (or modify) alert for MQTT with the following settings:
- Topic -
BlueIris/CameraName/Status - Payload -
1 - for On reset do the same with payload:
0
The alert should be sent for the profile you would like it to trigger.
Camera settings -> Watchdog in the action's section click on On loss of signal, then in the popup window, create new (or modify) alert for MQTT with the following settings:
- Topic -
BlueIris/CameraName/Conn - Payload -
0 - for On signal restoration do the same with payload:
1
The alert should be sent for the profile you would like it to trigger
Right click on any of active cameras on the AnotherRTSP program, select menu settings > MQTT > edit alerts, press new and put the data on
You can set any behavior you want. As of writing, only 'LED', 'Log message' and Toast behaviors are working. Others are in the works..
