• You now have the option of not using temp files for FTP image posting and
archiving. Sites like photobucket.com do not allow the necessary remove/rename
commands necessary to upload to a temp file.
• A bug was fixed to allow the use of the MJPG codec at 100% quality.
• The Web Server (See 8.) now distinguishes between admin and non-admin users when
you enable authentication. Only admin users may use the "snapshot" icon remotely.
• Moving forward, more admin control will be added to the remote interface. With this
version, when you right-click on the video window, the stat window that previously
opened now has a section for admin users to change the status of the Traffic Signal icon.
• The PTZ controls on the remote interface now are disabled for cameras that don't
support PTZ.
• New behavior: the Traffic Signal toolbar button no longer affects webcasting.
2.03
• Support for the Plustek, Aviosys, and new Swann IP cameras
• Support for the Observer Veo Observer cameras has been added, including PTZ
functionality
• If you have a 4-port BT8x8 card, use of the "Blue Iris low-level BT8x8" driver has been
deprecated, and may soon be unsupported completely. Please instead use the universal
BT8x8 driver available from btwincap.sourceforge.net
. This is a highly stable and easy-
to-install solution for supporting the hundreds of BT8x8-based cards available on the
market today. Blue Iris now allows you to add multiple cameras using the same
Conexant DirectShow driver, each with a different input selection.
• You may now choose to use an MJPG codec instead of the MP42 codec for video
recording (See 7.4). It is recommended that you obtain the demo version of the
Mainconcept Codec from http://www.mainconcept.com/site/. This is a highly efficient
codec for compressing standard video sizes.
2.02
• Support for Intellinet's MPEG4 cameras, such as the 550253. You must have an XVID
codec installed, which is available from Intellinet.
• Additional IP cameras listed for support
• A new help page for troubleshooting (See 12.) Internet and other common support
questions.
• A new screen-capture technology is introduced using a freeware component by Unreal
Streaming Technologies (http://www.umediaserver.net
). This component allows for full
frame-size and high frame-rates. It also renders the current cursor. If you are upgrading
from a previous 2.x version, you will find this component in your Blue Iris program
folder, and you can register it by using Start/Run and entering REGSVR32 "c:\program
