Blueiris already lets you assign a folder per camera in camera > record tab > "folder" which is defined in BI Settings >Clips and archiving.
In AITOOL you can also assign an input folder per camera.
Thanks @VorlonCD... I did a poor job of asking my question. Here's what I'd like to do.
Blue Iris - Motion detected via Trigger settings Picture saved to folder -> AI Tool for analysis
Physical camera - Motion detected via internal trip wire Picture FTP'd to a separate AI Input folder -> AI Tool for analysis
Based on this scenario, I'll try adding a new "camera" in AI Tool and have it look at the different input folder where the FTP'd images are stored.
I assume creating a new camera in AITOOL that points to a different input path did the trick? If not, maybe I still dont understand the question.
Unfortunately, I have run into an issue with this. I use all Dahua cameras and I have no control over the filename from each camera when it makes a snapshot from an IVS event. The only way it would work would for me to be able to set up a camera in AI Tool that will process an .jpg within a sub-folder structure.
You can do this with the "Monitor subfolders" checkbox in camera settings. Then, if the beginning of the file NAME is not consistent, leave it blank. That way the new found JPG file will be matched to the INPUT FOLDER path.
Note monitoring files on a remote non-windows device is not always stable or fast. You really want to monitor files directly on a windows hard drive or windows shared folder if possible. Even NAS devices sometimes have issues.
Thanks, I will give that a try and see how it works.
Would it be possible to create multiple input folders? The reason I ask is because currently Blue Iris is sending the picture from each camera during an alert to the main input folder. I'm interested in utilizing the cameras built-in motion detection by sending that picture for AI analysis to AITool.
