Hi,

I am really struggling with the Geofencing alerts. I am trying to configure it to alert us when we are outside of the Geofence, however it is sending alerts permanently.

We've got two iOS devices setup with the 50m optimal geofence option, both devices are set to "Use my current location" and the BlueIris app is allowed the location.

I think this screenshot shows that BlueIris sees both devices inside the Geofence currently

I think I've got it configured to only alert when we are outside the geofence like this

The "enter" and "exit" buttons seem a little ambiguous, I think they mean "inside" and "outside"?

Yet it is sending us alerts all the time.

Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The 1st screenshot toggles device-generated notifications when your device detects a geofence change (exit & entry). Try disabling it to silence these notifications.

Now add a server-generated notification action to the ‘Exit geofence’ button dialog (last screen shot).
NOTE that you currently have no actions defined.
Touch the ‘+’ icon, and a list of available actions will pop up.

Hi Jay, I turned on the device-generated notifications to see if it was seeing the devices enter/exit. It's on and I've never received a device notification, however I am not too worried, the server was seeing us in / out of the geofece (3rd screenshot).

NOTE that you currently have no actions defined.

Yet it is sending us notifications constantly. We've got the alerts configured per camera. Is this what we are doing wrong perhaps?

Pressing the + as you suggest opens up a similar page to the per-camera page - I guess that is for all cameras, which isn't what I wanted.
 
Thanks, going to try this now. However, I don't want alerts for all cameras - your instructions looks like it will enable alerts for all cameras.

Notifications were on and working as we were recieving alerts constantly whilst in the geofence, currently they are off whilst we figure this out.
 
I think I've got this working, however my final issue is that I want to exclude one camera from the alerts (which is what drew me to the per-camera settings originally).

I'm able to to do exactly that with using profiles. I have a dedicated profile for "away" so once the geo-fence updates to that profile, alerts for BI adjust to the "away" version of how I want them to alert,
