Specifications

The initial page is labeled About and contains copyright and registration information. There's

also a field to specify a System name. This name is used to identify your system when a client

connects using the JSON

(See 14.) interface.

You may use the Export/backup settings button to copy the entire contents of the Blue Iris

registry key to a file for backup or transport to another PC. The file that's created is a standard

Windows registry file. Double-click the file on your Windows desktop to import or merge the

file into the registry. If installed onto a new PC, it will still be necessary to re-enter the license

key on the new PC.

There are several Software update options to always ensure that you're working with the

latest version each time you start the software. Blue Iris always checks for an update when

you start-up; if you choose the Prompt at startup option, Blue Iris will immediately ask you to

install the update. The Re-check every day option provides further assurance that you are

always aware of new developments on a daily basis. The update notice will be posted to the

Stats page

(See 9.) message window. If you additionally choose the Auto download and install

option, Blue Iris will automatically download and install the update, and then re-start.

As the update is being downloaded, the progress is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of

the Blue Iris window.

The Clips and Archiving (See 10.) and Web Server (See 8.) options pages are covered in pages

devoted to those specific topics.
