Many people do not realize there is manual shutter that lets you adjust shutter and gain and a shutter priority that only lets you adjust shutter speed but not gain. 15 FPS is more than enough for surveillance cameras as we are not producing Hollywood movies. It is the shutter speed that prevents motion blur, not FPS. In my opinion, shutter (exposure) and gain are the two most important parameters and then base the others off of it. Any camera can be forced in color and look great for a static image, but motion is a blur. Surveillance cameras rarely do good on default auto settings like exposure/shutter at night.

I believe the command to send to the Blue Iris server is (and is what the function at the end of my code does, but with more details ?required?) I used another example of where they were using an ethernet shield and communicating both ways, but I copied (and modified) the components I thought where relevant to triggering motion on my camera's when a digital input goes high.

I really don't understand much depth in what I am trying to do, so the following code could be completely wrong. I should note I am using just a Nodemcu for this task, where I used an arduino/esp8266 combo for my last project. I have seen post around but they are either using the serial trigger, or using IOT, or sending commands/triggers each way which complicates things over what I require. Bonus of doing it this way is I also believe I will also be able to talk to tasker in the same manner (on a separate android box) to turn lights on etc. My application is for a trip wire to make a digital input go high, then send a GET (I think this is what it is but really not so sure about this) request to Blue Iris on my PC that triggers a camera to record.
