Watchdog notifications

[markopetrovic19872147]

Hi, I am new to Blue Iris and I am trying to find how watchdog should be configured in order to send email notification when camera looses signal (displays "No signal").
Version of Blue Iris is 5.5.4.0
Can anyone direct me to some manual for setting up these alerts?

Have you consulted BI's built-in "Help" under "Cameras" => "Alerts and Actions" ?

You'll also need to configure your e-mail SMTP settings in BI's (not camera's) settings.

P.S. - Welcome to IPCT !

Hi TonyR, i have tried there but no luck.
In that section it is explained how to set alerts for motion detection and similar.
The only alert we need is one when camera has lost signal and therefore no longer making recordings.

Under "camera settings" => "watchdog" tab, check "fire alerts after" box, which allows you to select "on loss of signal" box.
Then you can enable and create an "action set" such as " push notification", "send e-mail" or "send SMS".

Yes, thank you, that is ok but configuring email alert is issue.
This is how it is configured right now, but I am not sure will it send email alert.
I only need alert for signal loss, but I am getting also alerts for MOTION although Motion Zones are not checked.
