    "Call" an Arbitrary Code to a Camera

    One important thing to note is that a PTZ preset can call only one command. I had to experiment to prove this to myself. So I've set PTZ 20 (left-most # column) to send a code 101 to my camera to turn on half the LEDs. This code is entered in the second column from the left. The Description (3...

    "Call" an Arbitrary Code to a Camera

    Blue Iris Tech Support was very helpful in clarifying a solution to this issue. Under Camera>Schedule>Event Schedule I had been using the built-in camera settings available from the drop down menu to set a camera setting and PTZ setting simultaneously. Except in my particular case, the setting...

    "Call" an Arbitrary Code to a Camera

    One of the great features of Blue Iris is the support for so many cameras. I have a Sunba 20X camera, and Blue Iris supports a very large number of the Call functions of the camera, but not all. For close-up imaging at night I'd like to send "100 + Call" to the camera to turn on only half the IR...

    Using Profile to Change Camera Position V5.06

    Thanks very much for pointing out the "event schedule" within the Camera Settings. I had seen this and set it up, but was confused because one can select the Profiles under the "auto-cycle" section of "PTZ/Control". Within each numbered control you can use "On Call" to send codes to the camera...

    Using Profile to Change Camera Position V5.06

    I have set up a Preset Schedule called Day_Night to move one of my two PZT cameras to a different position at sundown and move it back to the old position after sunrise. At least, that's the goal. So The default Profile, "Active" (#1) is the daytime orientation, and another Profile, "Night" #3...

    Triggered vs Triggered+Periodic

    Sorry to reply to my own question, but here is more information on the issue. I have confirmed that the leftmost box is the period , i.e., the interval before recordings. The duration is the right most box. Unfortunately, IMHO, the duration is ALWAYS the duration for that period, and I believe...

    Triggered vs Triggered+Periodic

    I'm new to Blue Iris and have been reading the manual and experimenting. I thought I understood the dialog box for Triggering, Triggering + Periodic etc., but the more I read and experiment, the less I'm certain... So what I would LIKE to do is construct a time lapse in which a normal speed...

    Turning on IR Automatically/On a Schedule

    Thank you. In the manual it mentions "..within 30 minutes of sunset/sunrise..." as allowing a relative offset. Must it be within 30 minutes or less, or is that just an example? So it's quite light here both before sunrise and after sunset, so more than 30 minutes is probably OK to maintain...

    Triggered+Period Record

    Actually I am using this to record wildlife 24/7 here in the mountains of Colorado in the middle of the woods. Not too interested in the security feature. So I am trying to get decent recordings of only the wildlife activity (Bears, Mountain Lions, Wild Turkeys, etc., etc.,) It's quite...

    Turning on IR Automatically/On a Schedule

    I have a Logisaf PZT x4 zoom IR equipped camera. I'd like to turn on the IR at dusk and off near sunrise, despite the switch over to B&W. I can see how to do this manually with the button on the Blue Iris display screen. Is there a way to do this automatically based on light levels or scheduled...

    Triggered+Period Record

    I am trying to create an easy-to-view record of an extended period (8 hours) so I don't waste a lot of time looking over things. Only the triggered events play in real time this way. The use of triggered+periodic allows that if I read the manual correctly. OK I'll try direct to disk recording; I...

    Triggered+Period Record

    I am new to Blue Iris and I think it's great! It's easy to get started but there is lot's of depth,-and to learn. So I have been experimenting with different Record setting for my single PZT x4 Zoom IR equipped Logisaf (Chinese knockoff) camera. I am running on a Xenon 3.3GHz Server 2012R2...
