Turning Camera's on & off

We have 8 Annke cameras and need to be able to turn each camera on and off with a single click in the iPhone app. Using the Annke Sight app, it takes 3 clicks and there you have to shut them all off or on. No individual control.

We have 4 WYZE cameras that have a much easier app and can just click a button next to any camera we want to turn on or off. That is what we are looking to be able to do with the Annke cameras. Please let me know if this is an option with the Blue Iris App for iPhones. We will purchase it right away.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi, you would of course need to be running BI5 on a Windows pc to get the BI iPhone app to work at all.

Now I'm using the Android app, and if I long hold press on a live camera, it opens the settings for that camera, and right at the top of that page is "Enabled" which is presently On. If I click it, it goes Off. I press the button to return to the main screen, and that camera is indeed Off. Seems a bit more difficult getting it back On, but it works. Aha, the first time I press ON it doesn't highlight the Profile. If I click it Off/On again, it Does highlight the profile, and all is well.

Not exactly a single click, but good enough for my needs. I can't be sure it is the same for iPhone.

And it will allow you to turn on/off individual cameras.
