Specifications

When you right-click on a clip and select the Export menu, you have a choice of Move, Copy or

Email. The Move and Copy options allow you to browse your computer's hard drive for a place

to put the file. If you selected Move, the original clip is removed from your Blue Iris folder.

When you select Email, the clip is added as an attachment to a new email message which will

be sent by your email client (for example Outlook Express).

Please note that Blue Iris DVR (.bvr) files are only readable by Blue Iris. Before you export a

video, you may wish to Edit it (described above) to both shorten it to the section of interest

and convert it to an interchangeable format (AVI).

Clips and Archiving Options

The Clip Options window allows you to specify the physical location on your hard drive where

New clips will be stored. There's also a Stored folder that you may specify. This is a folder

which serves as an "extended stay" location for clips which are cluttering up New clip list, but

you are not yet ready to delete. The Stored folder does not need to be located on the same

hard drive or PC as the New clips folder. Note however, that if you are running Blue Iris as a

service, you may not be able to use the "LocalSystem" account if your Stored clips folder is

located on a network drive; instead, you must use a named user account, and give that

account rights to the network resource.

Blue Iris may be configured to automatically store or delete clips based on age and disk space

specifications. The New and Stored folders are handled completely independently. Each has

its own age and disk space quota. The task which actually move files runs once each 10
