Once I did the following as instructed above, it worked for me (Disclaimer: Turning off web server security like this could be dangerous)
Uncheck the box "Use secure session keys..."
You've got to use your PC's adapter IP address
The URL for MY SYSTEM to get a JPG containing one JPG of my entire BI screen is:

Code: Select all

http://[2601:98a:4200:f60:2c21:2e91:9848:90a5]:81/image/Index?time=&session=&decode=1&stream=0&q=55w=1024&h=768
An example URL cURL'd from a local UNIX machine that is successful is:

Code: Select all

curl -kL "http://[2601:98a:4200:f60:2c21:2e91:9848:90a5]:81/image/Index?time=&session=&decode=1&stream=0&q=55w=1024&h=768" --output test.jpg
NOTE: If you are trying to cURL out of a list of URLs you may need to escape the brackets [] like this:

Code: Select all

curl -kL "http://\[2601:98a:4200:f60:2c21:2e91:9848:90a5\]:81/image/Index?time=&session=&decode=1&stream=0&q=55w=1024&h=768" --output test.jpg
To get a JPG from a different camera, click to enlarge then right click on your BI UI3 interface and select "Open image in new tab" and cut out the appropriate pieces of the URL to change. For me, it was a change of "Index" to "Cam12_DROPCAM".

My Blue Iris settings look like this:

Putting all the cURL JPGs into a GIF at the end of the day, here's what I get. Not sure why the titles blink on and off.
