    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    OK, thanks for all your help. Maybe it's time I get a new version.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I tried using the alert with msg.exe. When I use the basic script, I do get the message when I hit "test" - see the picture. But when I put the pushover script after it, nothing pops up, either when I hit "test" or trigger the camera from outside. I even tried inserting a specific, existing...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    Ok - I removed both and tested it in BI, but no dice. It triggered an alert image, and when I used the script in the cmd prompt, it did send the image. Here is the script with your edits: https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json -s --form-string "token=XXXXX" --form-string "user=XXXXXX"...

    Here it is: https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json -s --form-string "token=XXXXX" --form-string "user=XXXXX" --form-string "message=<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO <a href='&WAN/alerts/&ALERT_DB?fulljpeg'>Hi-Res</a> <a href='&WAN/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB'>UI3</a>" --form-string "html=1" --form-string...

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    That's what I meant by manually. I went outside and triggered it.

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    I can't seem to get Blue Iris to send the alert images to pushover. My script works fine from the cmd prompt; I receive the image in pushover. Blue Iris is using my admin account and not a local system account; Bl has the correct file location for curl; and I've triggered the camera manually...

    Changing router - new cable company

    Thanks. Current cable company is Frontier, and the new one is Comcast. That's good news that I can change the gateway address - keeping 192 would save me some hassle. I don't access BI from outside the network.

    Changing router - new cable company

    I'm changing cable companies, and I'm going to wind up with a new cable router. My current router has a gateway ip address of the 192.168.1.x variety, and I have no idea if the new one will be the same. I'm running BI with 4 Dahua cameras with fixed IP addresses and no VPN. Is there anything...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Mpaws - Thanks - I looked into the bridge mode. It's possible with the NVG589, but it's not terribly straightforward, and I was hoping to do this without messing too much with the cable company device. Randy/Terk - I'd buy my own modem in a heartbeat, but the cable company won't provide one...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks Terk - that explains it. That probably also means that the NTP client I set up on the secondary router won't work either without port forwarding, right? It would be a lot easier to set up the VPN/DDNS on the primary router, but the NVG589 is a lousy cable company router, and it won't...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I have a DDNS question related to VPN. I am in the process of setting up OpenVPN server on a secondary router. it will be a router-behind-a router setup, with the secondary router being only an access point (which it is now) and a VPN server. My primary cable router is an Arris NVG589...

    Blue Iris bitrate settings / Switch memory high

    Thanks - that's really helpful. Might bump it up then. Looking for 2 weeks of storage ,and with a 3TB hard drive, I should be able to afford some more bitrate.

    Blue Iris bitrate settings / Switch memory high

    Hi all - Maybe this isn't a problem, but I'm setting up my first camera in Blue Iris (demo version), and I notice that my switch memory usage is at 70% (see screenshot). This seems high since there are only 3 ports being used: one for the camera (Dahua 4231), one for computer, and one for the...

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z recommended BI camera configuration settings?

    IPC-HDW5231R-Z recommended BI camera configuration settings?

    I am having the same problem with my brand new 4231. I've tried what I've read above - using the same ONVIF password as main password and creating a new user. I've also tried creating different passwords. "Find/Inspect" finds the IP address but only recognizes it as generic. EDIT: Also, the...
