Clean install

[BobbyArcher]

I'm about to do a clean install of Windows and BI and I am wondering if the settings I configured when I logged directly into each camera via a web browser be affected? I'm asking about picture. exposure, BL, WB etc ... If so is there a way to back them up.

Thanks!

Those are in the camera, not BI, so you are good to go.

Now all your settings for the camera in BI will be gone.

Make sure you deactivate your current BI license first.

Yes I know about losing everything else, I just didn't want to have to reconfigure all my cameras.

Thank You!

Thanks, I did deactivate my license before I started.

Did you not export your camera settings from BI? Or were you planning to manually re-configure all those in BI too?

As you shouldn't, if you are having issues and that's the reason for a clean install, importing saved settings can possibly bring those issue's back.
Set it up from scratch.
If you need to, take screen shots of the camera settings pages, and save them for reference.

Forgive me for chiming in, but what if Archer's BI-HDD had died and he could not deactivate before rebuild?

You would contact Blue Iris support.

My hard drive is fine. My problem was with Windows 10 so I did a clean install of everything.
