page. If you select to authenticate Non-LAN connections only, users connecting from within
your local home/office network will not be prompted, while those connecting from the
Internet will be prompted.
Select the Secure only authentication option in order to use the new login.htm page. If you
un-select this option, Blue Iris will also accept plaintext or "basic" authentication. Basic
authentication may be a requirement for the use of certain third-party add-on software such
as TrackIT.
The List only clips from enabled cameras option will hide video and images from cameras
which are either disabled, renamed, or no longer on the system.
Use the Listen/bind to one selected LAN IP option to force the web server to use a specific
network interface on your PC. You may wish to use this to force connections to be made from
only wired or wireless sources for example. Note that if your local IP addresses change, you
may need to revisit this page in order to update the LAN IP list.
HTML Macros
Blue Iris pre-processes all files ending in ".htm" before they are sent. This is useful if you're
using a dynamic IP address (most dial-up networking does) as your server name. Blue Iris will
substitute your server name wherever "%%SERVERNAME%%" appears. Other available
macros include the following:
%%SERVER%%
Server name without the HTTP port number appended
%%CAMLIST%%
A list of HTML <OPTION> tags containing the available cameras
%%CLIPLIST%%
A list of HTML <OPTION> tags describing the clips currently displayed in
the
Clip List (See 10.)
%%CAMPORT0%%
The first camera's webcasting port number
%%CAMNAME0%%
The first camera's name
%%THUMBn%%
A virtual path to a thumbnail image for the "nth" clip currently
displayed in the Clip List
%%CLIPn%%
A virtual path to the actual "nth" clip currently displayed in the Clip List
The sample web pages that are installed demonstrate each of the webcasting (See 7.6) formats
in operation.
