alkizmo 0 Posted June 5, 2015 All my search on PIR for IP cameras result in either: - IP Cameras with a PIR sensor inside. - IP Cameras with I/O port for an external PIR sensor But I have never found a PIR sensor that is stand alone and can send an alert over LAN. Is there such a thing? It would be easy for me to program the PVR software to start recording on specific cameras when an alert is received. Otherwise, can someone recommend a 100$-ish outdoor IP camera that has a PIR sensor in it? 720P is okay for the location. HIKVisions's only PIR cameras seem to be those cube(indoor) cameras.

PRO E-IPM - IP Module for connecting detectors directly to a VPN-Security Network A bit too "pro" for my budget. I'm guessing those don't cost 20$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digger11 0 Posted June 6, 2015 I've built a Z-wave PIR as an experiment... Components: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W41J6S http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030G8SC8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Q5CTBE Motion detection on the PIR sends power to the relay, which closes the z-wave door sensor, sending a "tripped" state alert to my VeraLite. The VeraLite runs a scene that sends an external trigger to Blue Iris, to trigger motion recording on a group of cameras covering the front of my house. I chose the RAB PIR because unlike most of these lighting PIRs, the RAB can be set to detect motion during daylight hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you shed a little more light on VeraLite's ability to send an external trigger? I currently have a wifi pir that triggers IFTTT to send an http admin command to BI to start recording on a camera. Am I correct in assuming you're using Veralite in the same way? The reason I ask is that IFTTT has such a terrible delay, it is practically useless for triggering a camera to record in BI. I've been trying to figure out an alternative way to issue an http command to BI. I would definitely buy a Veralite if this method has been reliable for you?
