Windows location API BI5 v5.9.0

Interesting info from the help file: 5.9.0 - April 24, 2024 Integration with the Windows Location API. A new Settings/Location page has been added to manage this integration. Additional location settings moved from the Schedule tab. Maybe not for me at home though: If your PC has a GPS sensor and th...

Re: use Blue Iris to call functions on camera on timed schedule

If you can find a command that works from a browser, then this could work. I think an in depth read of the manual for the camera may give the answers. If not, a query to the supplier.

It doesn't look like it, but that thread from the dark side seemed to explain it well. Just make sure you can send it back ! Then experiment and post back here to detail your success story for the people that may follow you 8-)

Re: Run as a windows service makes PC unresponsive?

Re: Turn Camera On/Off Remotely

Do they have home automation ? A zigbee remote control, then it depends if it's a wall wart psu or POE. More details are required to nail it down :?

That would allow it to automatically power on again too after a pre-determined time.

Re: Error: Disk can't keep up

It's built in to recent versions. Go to alert list and right click for menu. Go to database/ Status window. You can then click on the arrows to see the individual drive read/write speeds. I checked my logs, and there were two cameras showing this. Since they are both on a powerline ethernet socket, ...

Re: Night AI Issue / Feature Request

Good work :D

The automatic sunset/ sunrise does work well once you have it set - as long as you have your Lat/Long set correctly.
