Re: Using a tablet as viewing screen for cameras

My setup is three IPads that display Homeseer touch screen control software 24/7. Displays turn off at night. They use BI UI3 web view hosted in inside the HS touch screen for interface so they can display and control the house and display camera feeds by default. Homeseer can control which camera o...

Re: Using a tablet as viewing screen for cameras

I have various Ipads displaying camera groups. Oldest is a Ipad2 and IpadAir. I can use the Blue IRIS app or use a web browser to monitor various outdoor cams. Can get old used Ipads cheap. I catch all the family hand-me downs and have recently bought a Ipad 5 & 6 used on Back Market web site. S...

Review the .pdf help file and it gives examples of the urls to be interact with blue iris. You can set any of the 999 macros via BI GUI for the first 10 or so or via setting them via registry or via values written in a .txt file but the most flexible way is via URL. http://192.168.2.184:81/admin?mac...

Re: UI3 Stream profile setting

I found where I can edit them and just removed all but the one I want to use. Seems to work but will see if BI or UI3 is updated if this reverts back.

Re: How can I use an old android tablet as a doorcam/ home auto tablet ?

Hi, Thank you for the quick response. I do have HS4 Pro, so I will be able to use HS Touch, but I must admit I thought it had been deprecated since HS support told me to use the new android client with my mobile phone last time I had an issue. Now is there a way to make a tablet screen go off until...
