Hi I am trying to connect to blue iris video stream but can't seem to get it to work.

The purpose is to get my camera video streams to show in a home automation software that has support for camera feeds.
The software has got options for snapshot URL or stream URL.

What would the URL be to pull the video feed from bi server for a specific camera?

Hi,

I have this working with Homeseer HS4 Pro. You need to know the shortname of your camera (BI5 settings), and the IP address of it. For my "DoorCam" I have these settings in HS4, and it should work for you if you just change the short name and IP address:

Snapshot: http://192.168.2.3:81/image/DoorCam
Stream: http://192.168.2.3:81/mjpg/DoorCam/video.mjpg

On the same HS4 page, I have:

Max frame rate: 10
Horizontal Max Res: 1920
Vertical Max res: 1080

See "Direct Image and Video requests" in the help file for more details.

There is also a plug-in for HomeAssistant. The plug-in helps get the alerts and what not directly into HA.

Which automation system are you using?
