Solved. I discovered that for Camera 1 it was set to 'fire when any camera is triggered' so I have changed that to 'fire when this camera is triggered' and it is orted. I have no idea how I set that on as I don't recall even seeing the setting before but at least it is sorted now.

I should have said that the 2nd email photos are not duplicates of the ones in the correct email - they are taken within a few seconds of the other set.

I have been using Blue Iris for a while now and it has developed a strange issue. I'm using 4.5.1.6 x64 with a number of IP cameras, some of which are set to generate email alerts when triggered. I have no groups defined. Alert emails have a subject of "&CAM Blue Iris alert" and a body that...

Thanks again. I had never heard of domoticz and it seems very useful! Sigh, another toy to play with! :D

Thanks, nayr. I know it isn't the best approach but it is probably the best I can get members of my family to use and it is better than the standard geofencing that is pretty much unusable for me. Actually, the problem you identify at 03h00 isn't a problem for me because my phone will be on...

Thanks, fenderman, I'll try to find that video.

Geofencing does not work in my location due to building structure (when indoors there is no GPS signal so it is interpreted as having left geofenced area). I have sent an email to Blue Iris tech support asking for geo-location to be supplemented by proximity to WiFi networks but have not had a...

Thank you fenderman. I have subsequently found that it is possible to use the web server to do something similar and am playing with that to try to understand it better - it may work without this feature being implemented. If it doesn't then I will email support. Richard

This is exactly what I am looking for - does anyone know if it was added to Blue Iris or if there is another way of doing something similar in Blue Iris? Thanks. Richard

I've seen a fair bit of information about how to use DIO ports to control things from Blue Iris including this incredibly useful thread by Kevern https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4201-Arduino-amp-Blue-Iris-Integration but I've not been able to find information about controlling Blue Iris...

Thanks for your help, farmer. I've spent some time today changing various settings but to no avail. I've tried various cameras in the Make field on the Video |IP Configuration tab. The Generic one is auto discovered by Blue Iris and appears to be the only one that works - as long as the path is...

Thanks, yes, I saw that. I also now realise that you cropped the various screenshots which is why they looked different and confused me! :redface-new: I'm using an old, slow computer while I await the new one I've ordered for Blue Iris so it takes a long time to open the settings screens each...

I've tried your settings. As I suspected, the path one is key, changing it stops the camera working so this remains as above. The check box differences make no difference to the preset issue - they may affect other things so I've set them back to as they were above. Thanks again for your help...

Thanks, farmer, this is very helpful! I think you may be correct with shared hardware - they certainly do appear to be similar in appearance. I've compared your settings to mine. The Video one is identical but the PTZ/Control one has some differences that may be significant. I'll try your...

I know that I don't know what I am doing with this. That is why I posted the question in the first place, in clear, open recognition and admission that I don't know the answer but am prepared to learn - after all, isn't that what forums are at least partly for? :) Oh, why? Surely the traffic...
