Testing out a 5241-Z12E
Never used snapshots before.
I access the cameras via UI3 in browser.
I have set up the camera using the GUI to only record snapshots on an Event, not General, every 1 second.
I have set up the camera using Blue Iris to record a snapshot "when triggered" every 1 second. (Ideally using a shorter time once this is working) 60% quality.
The camera triggers properly on a vehicle. The image of the vehicle shows on the Blue Iris timeline. The picture does not show on the UI3 timeline, but the UI3 timeline does show a trigger. When I click on this trigger (short blue bar), a black screen appears, but instead of the usual "No video" title, it says "Not BVR". Some snapshot thumbnails appear in the list of "all clips" but not the car ones I want. In any case, when I click on the thumbnail, it freezes the UI3 and says "server unavailable". When I locate the .jpg in the new folder, OR try to download a snapshot from the UI3 thumbnails, microsoft photos tells me the file is corrupted. When I try to open a snapshot directly in Blue Iris, it says "the source file format may be corrupt".
Any ideas how to get the snapshot function working properly? For LPR I thought that was best, but am I better off just grabbing 5 second videos and getting a screengrab from that?
