If you have say three tripwires setup in a camera and two or three of them is triggered, does blue iris take the first one and ignores the other ones? I see this with my overwatch camera (cam 1) triggering on a vehicle and since it triggers the other camera in the group the trigger event in BI for camera 2 only show's the group trigger even though the tripwires were triggered in cam 2.
Doesn't matter, just want to know the logic or limitations. I could see some wonky stuff occurring if several cameras with multiple events all triggered at the same time.
Just curious ..
Thanks...
 
Depends on how you set it up.

Use the "New zones/sources only (additive)" option if you are going to have several IVS rules being used in one camera and want to be able to do something with each rule separately.

The "New zones/sources only (exclusive)" option is a cool feature if you want to primarily use IVS rules for triggering your alerts, but you want to use BI motion to capture wildlife and other things.
