Is There A Manual?

[groceryboyjr]

I've searched all day and not found anything that looks like a manual for Blue Iris that I can download.
Please forgive me for posting such a basic question - I've really tried to find a manual but just can't find one.
IS there a Blue Iris manual? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks;
GBJr

The help file is the main manual.

A PDF of it is here but it's not been updated for a while:

You can view the built in file and save it as PDF if you prefer. From the "?" Get support icon, select OPEN on the Help Documentation selection. From there you may select the print option then print to file then your desired format.

THANK YOU Mike A. and Broachoski! Much appreciated. I'll use both! I'm reading the PDF now right quick (for those burning questions :-D ) and will print the help files here shortly to get the latest version.

Wow. BI is impressive. I wish there were a Linux version. Maybe I run it in a VM on a Linux base machine?

 

[Mike A.]

Doesn't make much sense to me to run it in a VM in most cases. You don't avoid running Windows, adds complication, and you really want it on a machine that's not going to be up and down and subject to other things potentially affecting it. Easier to just drop it on inexpensive box of its own.

@Mike A. all good points. I've been facing the fact that I've just got to to run Windows to get the BI goodness. I went ahead and bought Acronis licenses (awesome backup software for windows), so I'm committed to the platform.
