Boarder Colour

Post by Iceman88888 »

Hi all

I recently updated my Blue Iris from an older version and I notice that the boarder around each camera has changed from Red to Yellowy/green?

Can anyone tell me when this changed ?was it a long time ago or recently?

My original version has a red boarder around each window and I preferred this over the new yellow/green boarder. I notice that nothing happens if the camera goes into a different state anyway the boarder is really unnecessary.

I paused recording video manually and the red dot in the top right corner changed immediately to yellow etc , but the border colour did nothing yet under camera properties it says turn on coloured boarder so it changes if there is a change to the camera? I know you can just turn it off. It does not seem to do what is advertised.

I liked the RED boarder as RED to me denoted recording. I nealry upgraded to Version 5 , but it's over $60 just to update from 4 to 5. I don;t see any real benefit that I can see staight away. The software in it's older version works perfectly fine, I just thought I would try updating......................well that wasted about an hour of my time getting the right C++ distribution packs so it would load. It was not a clean update as expected and annoyed me.my PC is running windows 7 x64 , but so are many people still..

Anyway any help appreciated, I am on version 4 now from my original version bought back in 2016.

It's still one of the best VMS packages around.


Cheers

Hmmmm, not sure what to make of that. I'm on the latest version and the borders on my cams are red when recording.

Searching the web I found a few tidbits:

Settings -> Cameras, "Yellow when motion detection is paused or disabled"

From a couple years back:
"Contacted support and they said: "Right now the yellow border could indicate either that the motion detector is disabled or the camera is not sending an adequate number of FPS."
