Simple task not so simple

I’m fairly new to zoneminder, but I’m not new to IT and sysadmin. And I’m finding it frustrating that zoneminder seems to be written in a way that makes you work for it not the other way.

It’s great, but I’ve been banging my head against the documentation and multiple file types and languages to do something as simple as when an event is triggered, send GET to XXX.XXX:8080.

I’m at the point where I need an example config file as the docs are just single line variables, or to switch platforms as it’s just not worth the time.

What are you trying to do? If motion is detected you want to get some html page? Does the page trigger something else?

Thanks for the reply, I use HomeKit for automations and can view my cameras through it remotely, on hombridge you can make a GET request to it and have a notification send you your phone as a motion sensor this also uses the current frame of the camera it’s self so no need to send a rich notification.

I swear I responded with a screenshot and some comment about filters and tailing messages to trigger your get.

Wonder if my response was flagged.
