Configure Blue Iris

Blue Onyx runs as a service, it has a simple job. It receives a image in jpg format from Blue Iris. It will run it through detection pipeline and it will report if it found any of the objects that the currently used model have if any in the picture. Once Blue Iris get's the response it will act based on this information.

NOTE: BLUE ONYX DOES NOT SUPPORT RUNNING MULTIPLE MODELS IN ONE SERVER, IT'S ONE SERVER ONE MODEL. SETUP MULTIPLE SERVERS AND DUPLICATE STREAMS IF YOU WANT TO RUN SEPARATE MODELS FOR 1 CAMERA.
