• A new option on the camera's image Post (See 7.7) page allows you to post regardless of
whether the camera is active according to the recording & alert timer.
• A camera's PTZ commands are now available from the context (right-click) menu, which
is especially handy when you are viewing the camera in a desktop window.
• PTZ commands may now be given keyboard shortcuts.
• When a camera is being viewed in its own desktop window, it now operates more
autonomously: the main interface icons no longer control the camera window; clicking
on the camera window does not unselect the camera in the main window; keyboard
shortcuts may now be used in a desktop camera window when one has the focus (you
have clicked on it).
• You may right-click a desktop camera window and select to "Keep window on top" so
that it is not obscured by other windows.
• When the camera's Timer is not enabled, motion profile 1 is used all day.
• The JPEG Refresh page ("jpegpull") has been reworked in order to allow multiple camera
access and to open and view clips
• The JAVA/JPEG page and its Applet have been reworked to to allow you to open and
view clips
• The JAVA/JPEG and JPEG Refresh pages have been tested and are working on the
Mozilla Firefox browser
• In addition to the disk quotas you specify, Blue Iris also attempts to automatically
enforce a rule of maintaining at least 1GB free on the hard drive in order to prevent
failed recordings.

• Now by default, the MP42 codec only compresses key frames. This restores the
behavior from earlier versions of Blue Iris, which may have been more stable on some
configurations. You may experiment with turning this off, allowing MP42 to do inter-
frame compression and run more efficiently, by un-checking the new checkbox on the
movie format page
(See 7.4) for the camera. If you receive a system error, turn this
option back on, or consider using another codec, MJPG or XVID.
• Due to popular demand, the number of pre-trigger images that you may request has
been increased to 50 on the camera properties Record
(See 7.4) page. Please be aware
that use of this feature consumes memory equal to 4 bytes for each image pixel, and
will cause your CPU utilization to spike to 100% when recording begins as the software
catches up with compressing and recording these images all at once.
• The XVID library is now also used to decode video from the popular DLink 950/G. If you
are using one of these cameras, please install the XVID codec from xvid.org
. Blue Iris no
longer references DIVX or 3ivx for any purpose.
• XVID support appears to have become more stable with the use of direct library calls in
the code in place of Video-for-Windows calls. Very rare decoding glitches are still
