Hello everyone,

I have a question to ask because I can't figure out how to solve this problem.

We have Blue Iris installed with about 40 cameras. We have alerts set up via Watchdog as follows:

As I understand it, with this configuration, it should only send us an email notifying us of signal loss after 180 seconds. However, we are receiving emails about cameras going down. But in reality, these are just small network outages, as can be seen in this log capture:

Could you help me determine why it is sending us alerts when I configured Watchdog to have a timeout of 180 seconds?
