Am I the only one who would like Hotkeys for camera groups?

Post by TopRamen »

I have a Blue Iris install with over 60 cameras, organized in 5 groups. I use an X-Keys keypad to "hot punch" to different cameras and watch them live. I would LOVE IT if there was a way to assign a hotkey to each group. Is there any macro code that would allow for this?

Is there any appetite for this sort of thing or am I the only one? If there's more of an appetite, I would love it if we could persuade developers to add this.

Hotkey for groups is a good idea. Why not send a request to BI support?

Agreed. Seems like a useful feature that should be relatively easy to implement. I’ve requested new keyboard shortcuts in the past and they got added quickly. Worth an email to support!

Yep, I want to see that. I switch groups a lot so I wrote an HTA app with buttons that make curl calls to change groups. Here is a single line example: curl.exe http://192.168.1.xxx:xx/admin?console=Yard".

Just heard back from support. It was already added in a 5.5 release. Click the gear icon next to the group dropdown once you've selected the group you want to create a shortcut for, and bottom left of the screen should have a button for keyboard hotkey.

How refreshing to have developers who are so responsive to their users!
