The Restore window when triggered option will attempt to open the Blue Iris window when
motion occurs if you have minimized it.
Use the Trigger camera groups feature if you want other cameras to be triggered
automatically when this one is triggered. This might be useful if one camera is better
positioned to pick-up motion, but you want an event recorded from multiple angles. The other
cameras must be assigned to groups; this is done on the General camera properties
(See 7.)
tab.
Use the Trigger with DIO input bits option together with a Sealevel SeaDAC Lite (P/N 8112 and
similar) device in order to receive an external signal from an alarm system, home security
system, PIR sensor, electric gate, electric eye, etc. and interpret this as a camera trigger. The
8112 has 4 inputs numbered 0-3 and this is a bitwise field. The values are related as follows:
Input
Bit
value
0
1
1
2
2
4
3
8
You may combine these values in order to trigger on combinations of input bits. For example a
value of 6 represents inputs 1 and 2. A value of 15 will allow any one of the inputs to trigger
the camera.
Motion Mask and Hot Spot
If you've identified areas in your image which are causing false triggers, you may eliminate
them from consideration by the motion sensor.
