anything unexpected that happens during operation. There's a
page that details Camera statistics, such as the number of
frames processed and alerts generated. There's also a page
which details the current web server Connections including the
current camera or camera group being watched.
Snapshot
This command saves the camera image that's currently
displayed. The file is a JPEG that's placed in the cliplist (See
10.). If you have more than one camera, a snapshot is only
taken from the "selected" camera--the large camera window or
the one with a blue border. After the file is saved, the
clip
viewer (See 10.) is then immediately opened.
Video
Click this button to immediately begin recording a video. Click it
again to stop. Note that video recording may also be
automatically initiated based on movement or time of day
according to additional settings on the camera's
recording page
(See 7.4). The movie's format (compression method and
quality) is also determined by the camera's
recording page (See
7.4).
Pause
When you click this button, the traffic signal light will change
colors. When the light is yellow or red, a number of Blue Iris
features are paused:
recording (See 7.4), alerts (See 7.5), and
image posting (See 7.7). The startup options (See 11.) page
allows you to always launch Blue Iris in the red light state, and
to choose how long a yellow light will be displayed before
automatically turning green.
Help
This button opens the Blue Iris Help window at the Welcome
(See 1.) page.
