    Blue Iris | Let user forward/rewind a record from the same day

    Hi all, Is there a way to let a user see the recordings AND forward/rewind a record from the same day? I'm notice that the "security officer" user cant do it... is it related to the "clips and archiving" setting? Thanks!

    AOIs using Hikvision 8MP DS-2CD2385FWD-I

    I wanted to test out multiple shadow CAMs and the AOI (Area Of Interest) with the Hik 8MP 2.8mm. Using the AOI on 2MP cams results in poor quality for the AOIs, but with 8MP, the AOIs look great. AOI needs a little work in the GUI to make it easier to set the size, but its workable for now...
