Capture JPG on motion trigger
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2021 11:22 pm
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Blue Iris, but it's working very well for me.
I'd like to capture a single frame as a JPEG when a motion trigger occurs and make it accessible over HTTP.
This is so on an MQTT trigger, Home Assistant can send a Signal message with a still image in it.
I actually have this working, but I feel like I've come up with a "hack" and would like to know if someone has a better way of exposing the frame that triggered the motion as web accessible JPG.
What I've done is as follows:
This allows me to curl/download from the following URL:
(002 seems to be where the motion generally happens).
Open to any suggestions on a better approach.
