Export / Import BI5 settings - Migrate to New PC

I had been running BI5 on a Dell XPS 8940 PC (Windows 10 Pro) which died in a power surge a few weeks ago. I have a new replacement PC: Dell XPS 8950 (Windows 11 Pro) on order. I am hoping I can rehost my existing BI5 license (still current including BI Maint) to the new machine. Is this relatively ...

UI3 Android Next / Previous Alert Clip

When running UI3 on my Android Cell Phone, if I am viewing clips and want to go forward or backwards to select next or previous clip using the |< >| buttons at the bottom of the screen, I have a great amount of difficulty hitting those buttons accurately enough because they are so tiny. Is there a w...

Re: Trigger -> Record -> Not Notify & Notify Question

Mike, You said "When I switch to the group containing only the Master cameras, only those camera appear in the clip list." Yes, that is exactly what is happening in my situation. I was hoping to find a way to display only the master cameras video windows, but have all of the cameras (Maste...

Re: Trigger -> Record -> Not Notify & Notify Question

Thanks good suggestion Mike. I just tried that -- first changed the Driveway (cloned camera) to not be hidden, then its triggers/alerts show up in the clips pane in addition to the live video frames. Then I added all 4 of the real physical cameras to a new Group called 'Live' and picked the Live gro...

Re: BI 5 - How to trigger 2 cameras at the same time

Just to be sure, did you check the Camera Settings -> Trigger Camera Groups box and select the appropriate group for both cameras? , ie you need to go into each camera's settings and check that box. Also, have you verified that each camera is triggering properly individually?

Re: BI 5 - How to trigger 2 cameras at the same time

I have 4 external cameras -- 2 on the front corners of the house and 2 on the back corners of the house. The 2 cameras in the front are in the 'Front' group. The 2 cameras in the back are in the 'Back' group. You add a camera to a group in the Camera Settings -> General menu. Then check the Camera S...

Re: Trigger -> Record -> Not Notify & Notify Question

One more question on camera cloning: As I mentioned above, I cloned the camera above my garage, called the master ‘Culdesac’ and the clone ‘Driveway’. Only the master Culdesac camera causes recording and does so for motion anywhere in the camera’s FOV, with an alert but no push notification. The clo...

Re: Trigger -> Record -> Not Notify & Notify Question

Ok I setup a clone of the garage camera. I renamed the clone master to Culdesac. I set the 1 zone (zone A) to be the entire FOV. I set the trigger Min Object Size / Contrast to 550 / 40. This camera always records when triggered (ie on motion anywhere in the road or my property). I named the clone t...

Re: Trigger -> Record -> Not Notify & Notify Question

Thanks athlonxp & MikeBwca. I was not aware until just now there is a capability to clone a camera. I've only recently come across the HomeTech tutorial videos -- just watched the one on cloning a camera. I clearly have a lot more to learn about BlueIris. What an immensely capable program. I wil...

Re: Trigger -> Record -> Not Notify & Notify Question

Thanks athlonxp. That worked! I've now got zone A covering the full FOV and zone B covering just my front yard and driveway. I always record when triggered anywhere in the full FOV but only push-notified with motion in zone B. I have the alert generated for all zones but used the On Alert menu to be...
