Blue Iris

When I installed BI5 I decided to do a clean install to get rid of some buginess I had and reset both of my cameras. I set up two schedules. 1 when I'm away and one when I'm home. I re-setup geofencing and from what I can tell it works okay and I get a notification on my phone that it has entered or exited, but I can't get it to actually change the schedule. Could this be a security setting? Am i missing something easy in configure schedule/profile action? Setting geofencing options changed a bit from 4.0 where it worked flawlessly. From my phone I can go into the app and manually change schedules and profiles???

Topic should say Schedules not profiles. Just caught that.

Any ideas on this? Is anyone else able to get this to work from scratch vs importing settings from V4?

Any ideas on this? Has anyone else experienced this with geofencing when setting it up clean from v5 instead of importing from v4?

Hi, we are not ignoring you, it's just that some of us don't use this functionality.

I believe you want to "set profile" and use the away profile for exit and the home profile for entrance. As opposed to a schedule. I have a Home profile which has most of my cameras disarmed, an Away profile which arms all of them, and an out-of-hours profile which arms most of them with differnt settings than my away profile. Then setup the schedule to use The home profile or the out-of-hours profile. You can also create other profiles for unique needs.

From memory you have to tick "select profile" and select your profiles that this alert should apply to (usually all) and select "hold".
If you select "run" and use schedules it immediately changes back according to the active schedule.

You can use two approaches, change profiles as above or change schedules.
I prefer change schedules, and then the new schedule applies the appropriate profile.
That way I can still apply the appropriate day\night profile when I am away or at home.

Either approach works though.

This had me scratching my head for a few days recently. I kept having profiles that were locked in the HOLD mode and my AWAY and Night modes weren't working. So here's what I have and what I did:

3 Profiles - AWAY (all cameras recording with triggers), HOME-DAY (Front Cameras recording with triggers, Side/Back Cameras - recording NO triggers, Inside Cameras - NO recording), HOME-NIGHT (All Outside Cameras recording with triggers, Inside Downstairs recording with triggers, all other cameras off.)

I setup 2 Schedules - HOME and AWAY. HOME - HOME-DAY from Sunrise to SunSet, HOME-NIGHT from Sunset to Sunrise. AWAY - AWAY profile 24x7

Then under Mobile, Geofence

Enter Geofence -> Set Schedule - HOME
Exit Geofence -> Set Schedule - AWAY

Hope this helps someone setting this up!
