Specifications

This page contains miscellaneous software behavior options:

By default, the clip Viewer is automatically opened whenever the Snapshot or Video Record

icons are used. You can turn these features off by removing the appropriate checks.

Also by default, video clips automatically begin playback when they are opened and

automatically loop back to the beginning when the end is reached. If you would like your clips

to play sequentially, select Next video from the At end of video list.

By default, a very fast software graphics scaler is used when displaying video. Although fast,

you may notice minor artifacts of this scaling process. If you have CPU cycles to spare, you

may increase the visual quality of the camera preview images by adjusting this setting to either

Bilinear or Bicubic. The additional HighQ option is provided for experimentation. Note: once

changed, you must either restart Blue Iris or reset each camera for the change to take effect.

By default, if a camera does not respond when the application starts or when you manually

reset it, Blue Iris shows the error message in the video window, and you must manually reset

the camera in order to reattempt a connection. If you disable the Show camera connection

errors at startup option, these errors will not be shown on screen, but instead they will be

logged, and Blue Iris will automatically retry the connection according to the camera's

Watchdog

(See 7.10) configuration. This may be desirable in an unattended operation.
