Thanks, I'll try those two settings.

Already had it deselected.

Apparently not close enough. :) I am using a PTZ on the most zoomed setting. Close enough to see stuff if I'm watching it live.

I am trying to capture rodent activity on one of my cameras connected to Blue Iris, but so far it is not working. I have "use zones and hotspots" checked and the area properly selected. I have "min object size" set at the smallest (100) and "min contrast" set at 20. I likely need to take...
