Specifications

137

• If the console process crashes while Blue Iris is running as a service, you may now re-run

the console without having to first reset the service

2.53

• HTTP Live Streaming support has been advanced for iPhones/iPads to request live

AVC/AAC streams from /h264/cam1/x.m, where cam1 is the camera's "short name."

• A requirement for having a sound card that was inadvertently added to version 2.52 has

been removed. Without a sound card, the Clip Viewer crashed for non-BVR files.

• PTZ commands including those from the TrackIT software no longer cancel the motion

detector's triggered state

• The camera Audio tab (See 7.2) now has a checkbox to disable audio webcasting for live

streaming

2.52.07

• A memory leak bug was been fixed with the MP4 movie email alert attachment option.

• The XVID MPEG4 codec may be preferred for recording on slower systems, or on

systems where you will be recording from many cameras at once, and you find that your

CPU utilization is too high with the H.264 codec.

2.52

• The ActiveX control has been updated to version 1.0.1.4. This version has several

enhancements, including 8 PTZ presets instead of 5, a higher-quality rendering

technique, and a full-screen mode.

• The clip viewer has been updated to use higher-quality rendering techniques to smooth

images.

• The clip viewer will now open and display MP4 and M2T file types in preparation for

these recording formats. If you plan to use these formats, you should install the K-Lite

codec pack onto your Windows systems.

• The email alert now offers the option to include a 10 second MP4 movie file attachment

in place of a still image.

2.51

• The default video recording compression is now H.264. MJPEG and WMV are still

options, but support for recording with XVID or MP42 has been discontinued. Older

recordings will however still open with the Viewer. The default video quality for H.264

in percentage terms is now 70%, and you will find that higher values consume much

larger amounts of hard drive space without much benefit, so you should re-examine

your quality settings for all cameras.
