Specifications

6. Camera Windows

Each camera's video is displayed within its own window with a title bar containing its name.

There are two "indicator lights" at the right-hand side of the title bar. The yellow light

indicates a warning condition, such as when the camera's frame rate does not match the

setting specified on its Video

(See 7.1) tab. The red light indicates the camera is either sensing

motion or is in the triggered state.

You can place a camera directly into its own desktop window by right-clicking it and selecting

Open in desktop window. Blue Iris will remember each camera's size and position on your

desktop. To move the window back to the main Blue Iris window, right-click once again and

un-check the option.

The Selected Camera

When a camera is the Selected camera, it is shown with a double white border and a brighter

title bar. Select a camera by clicking on its window. Un-select all cameras by clicking

anywhere within the black area of the Blue Iris cameras window not occupied by a

camera. Several functions affect the selected camera, such as several Toolbar

(See 4.) icons,

the PTZ controls, and the Clips camera filter.

Window Layout

When you have multiple cameras, you may re-arrange them within the Blue Iris window by

clicking and dragging them into the desired position. As you drag and hover over other

camera windows, the "target" camera position will become the selected camera.

By default Blue Iris arranges camera so that there is a minimum of unused space within the

Cameras window.
