New Screen capture recording feature.

[Tinman]

So in the update notes on 5.5.7.2 we are now able to record our screen within Blueiris as Ken does here in this video:


Anyone have a clue on HOW to do this ? Would be very useful in explaining issues.

This is done in camera properties, instead of setting it up as an ip camera, you click on screen capture.

Ok, I have tried that, but must be missing something, as mine will just keep capturing the same screen over and over into infinity.

This will occur if you have only one camera on the screen.

Ok, I created a new group with 2 cams. One a normal Ip cam and another the screen capture cam, I'm still not seeing how he made video ?

I might need to ask him to make a video on "How to make a video" It appears in his video he just has the one cam open too ??

Pretty sure he has the screen capture cam hidden.

But isn't that screen capture cam is what the recording of ? I just thought you would make a video of the screen capture cam, but some part of the puzzle is missing. oh well, might have to sleep on this one Thanks for the input though !

You are confused. A hidden camera can obviously still record otherwise the function would be pointless. You simply dont see the camera on screen. You can see the camera on the clips list on the top right.

Ok, finally sunk in. You don't need to have the camera hidden, but just start it recording and then click another cam for your video or issue. (I use the dbl click opens single camera option) so it hides the screen capture cam. I'm am confused as what is new here, as the screen capture thing has been around for years.

The ability to record your cursor is new (it was around on some late 5.5.6.x versions) but its very recent and was officially announced to .7

And for anyone wanting to make a video, you can select your microphone as well. I forgot to uncheck "combine video clips" which was throwing me a curve ball as well lol, but in the end it works very well !

If you need to record multiple desktop screens, you can use DeskCamera software. It makes the screen available as an ONVIF stream, just like a normal camera. Home

Their pricing is out of control for the basic function it provides.
