Blue Iris

Hi all,

Blue Iris 5.9.9.21

Is it possible for Blue Iris to detect when a PTZ camera has been moved using the cameras internal controls?

We have auto-cycle presets set up through Blue Iris. We have a joystick that can directly control multiple cameras which we find is much more responsive than going through Blue Iris's PTZ functions. What we find though is that Blue Iris doesn't detect when the camera internal controls are used and continues its preset cycle, interrupting the joystick control.

Will we perhaps have to move patrols solely to the cameras?

thanks

I suspect that moving the camera from outside BI would probably trigger an alert to be generated, depending on how the BI alert triggers are configured! Are you using CPAI at all, that may also determine if an alert is triggered when using the camera joystick!

Thanks for the reply @BruceH.

We are using CodeProject AI. I wouldn't know where to start to get it to detect ptz events.

We have triggers set up. The camera has ONVIF enabled and when I enable ONVIF/camera events under Sources in the Trigger tab I see event notices coming through. There are a bunch of items in the Listen For area but they all seem related to motion detection, I can't see anything about PTZ. Moving the camera via on-camera PTZ doesn't generate an event.

I may be mis-interpreting the whole thing though.

The camera is a HikVision DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW.

Sorry I don't use ONVIF or PTZ patrols, so no further thoughts on your issue!
