    Battery Backup

    I put my cameras, router, and computer on battery backups. The computer has the shortest runtime of 35 minutes on battery. I have windows 10 setup to go to sleep at 20 minutes. Will this properly shut down blue iris (stop recording and save) so I don't lose the current video?
