thanks for this, downloaded and reading - surprised it’s not pinned up topI've attached the help file for the latest Blue Iris release (5.8.5.2) here.
It gets updated with each release according to the changes being made so unless somebody regularly updates it it would quickly get out of date although the bulk of the info would be useful.thanks for this, downloaded and reading - surprised it’s not pinned up top
Hopefully I wasn't asking a dumb question because some unregistered software packages run indefinitely with watermarks and/or a reduced feature set. In my specific case I'm wanting to try BI+CPAI to see if it's a good workaround for the Dahua cameras not being able to detect animals. From reading through the CPAI threads I think it's a real possibility that a newbie to CPAI (like me) could easily eat through the whole 15 day BI trial before getting to a usable installation, then I'd need at least a couple more weeks to see how it performs. The bottom line is I have to decide to walk away from trying, or buy a BI license I might never use.I thought it stopped working after 15 days otherwise it would be permanent trial wouldn’t it?
Obviously it would be dependent on much wildlife one gets and the frequency, but I think within 15 days you would know that this is something that would work for you. Obviously once you buy it you could then fine tune it to your exact needs, but to simply set it up with very sensitive motion detection and CPAI set up to trigger on animals wouldn't take that long to do. CodeProject downloading and firing up takes longer than setting up a camera LOL.Hopefully I wasn't asking a dumb question because some unregistered software packages run indefinitely with watermarks and/or a reduced feature set.

You can request an extension of the trial from BI support.Hopefully I wasn't asking a dumb question because some unregistered software packages run indefinitely with watermarks and/or a reduced feature set.

For you, I believe that. No problem with the animals walking by, as we have lots of regulars. One of my next projects is to post signs "Warning, deer-resistant plants" so the buggers will quit eating them.but to simply set it up with very sensitive motion detection and CPAI set up to trigger on animals wouldn't take that long to do.
You will be shocked how easy it is to set up motion detection in BI. The default motion detection is a good start.For you, I believe that.

I’ve been on the storage tab, won’t let me drag the “new folder“ to dedicated storage drive from drive C.In settings click the storage tab and within there configure New and/or Storage as suits.
