Specifications

You may update a macro dynamically in one of three ways:

1. Click Set to file in order to browse for a text file; the macro will be changed to the file's

path. Blue Iris will read and use the contents of the file specified as the macro text. This

allows you to use an external application to dynamically change what you see on your

video--you might place the current temperature, for example.

2. Change the macro's registry value directly. You will find that macros are stored in the

key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\{Wow6432Node}\Perspective Software\Blue

Iris\macros.

3. If your external application supports DDE, you may connect to the DDE server "BlueIris"

with the topic "macro" and "poke" the macro text to the item "1" through "9".

Users

This page allows you to enter name/password pairs that will be used by the web server. In a

future release these may be used to provide varying levels of access at the console as well.

You may specify as many different username/password combinations as you wish. Use the

Add, Edit, and Remove buttons to make changes to the list. You may also right-click and

double-click to Edit. Here is the Edit user window:
