I have my PC in a battery back up. I should get about 40 minutes of juice. However, if I am at work/vacation, etc (ie not home for more than 40 minutes) and there is a power outage, as of now I am SOL when the power comes back. I am going to go into my computer BIOS to set the feature to have the computer turn on when power is detected. I may be down a few hours, but at least when it gets power, the PC will automatically turn on.
I saw a feature for Run as a Windows Service but said for advanced use, so I did not touch it. I read in the help:
will
So that makes me think if I select this option, that when my computer turns off, then turns back on, BI will start up "in the background" so to speak. on the PC you will not be able to see anything or make edits but it will run in the background and record the cameras? And I could see things remotely via my app or a web browser?

Use the Run Blue Iris as a Win32 service option to start Blue Iris when your computer starts up, without requiring a login. When the PC or Blue Iris is restarted, Blue Iris will run on the "LocalSystem" account (a privileged account not requiring login, but having no user interface). You may run Blue Iris again as a "console" that will interact with the service. The console can edit settings, restart cameras, and view stats and messages. Important notes about running as a service:
interact with the service. The console can edit settings, restart cameras, and view stats and messages
