Specifications

7.5 Alerts

When triggered by motion, sound, or an external source such as a Digital I/O device (See 11.),

Blue Iris is capable of alerting you in any combination of several ways (that is in addition to

recording the action for later review).

The option of When to fire these alerts gives you the option to make these alerts global. It is

possible to setup alerts on only one camera, and then fire those alerts when any camera on

the system is triggered, or when any camera in a specific group of cameras is triggered.

The numbers which appear above the check boxes are Profile numbers. The active profile is

determined by the Options/Schedule

(See 11.) page. The global schedule profile may be

overridden by the camera's own Schedule (See 7.8). Alerts selected under the W header will

fire according to the camera's Watchdog (See 7.10) settings page.

You may choose to fire alerts only when specific profiles are active. Use the + button to set or

reset all profile checkboxes at once. To configure a specific alert click the corresponding

Configure... button.

Sound

The Sound alert is designed to get your attention by playing a sound from your computer's

speakers.
