    BI Memory Utilization

    I am looking to get a new PC to run BI. I read many threads regarding hardware, CPU specifically. My current dedicated set up has 6GB of memory and it appears that BI doesn't use much at all. How does BI use memory? Will it use more if available? Is there an optimal amount? Since this will be...

    Email services - Limiting number sent per day

    I did not realize that gmail and other email services limit the amount of emails you can send in a day or in somes in an hour. I never had to send very many.

    how do i shutdown blue iris?

    Thanks PSPCommOp. I was aware of that but (I think) the only way to stop the BI service is to go through task manager and stop it. And before that I need to stop BI Tools by x'ing it. Would be nice to have a simple "Shutdown" option somewhere that shutdowns BI Console if running, BI Service and...

    how do i shutdown blue iris?

    How can I shutdown Blue Iris cleanly without having to stop Blue Iris service? Is there an exit, close, stop, shutdown command? Does the Blue Iris Tools have such a command? That would be nice. I want to easily shutdown both the tools and BI itself including the BI service... Thanks Johnny
