Why no trigger event for this blatant motion?

Make sure you have the motion zone cleared out, in the camera gui, making changes in BI to a cam tends to re-enable the motion detection on the cams.
dang it... my Windows Remote Desktop is unable to connect to my Blue Iris machine. I think I'll be swapping over to Chrome Remote Desktop as that seems to work really easily although I believe it relies on the cloud instead of local.
I have that issue on a few of my PCs that I look into from a central laptop. It's usually because I can't remember the password for the local PC, or it was on a different network SSD! I "solved" it by installing and using AnyDesk, and also installing an imesh system.......
Hey @looney2ns - is this why I might be having problems!? Questions:
1. I'm trying to use Dahua IVS only, so I disable the Motion option. I'll come back a day later and it is Enabled again! So the IVS Triggers won't matter, since it's catching ALL motion?
2. Do I need to clear the Zone Area as you've shown in your picture? AND click Disable Motion?
3. Do I have to check the camera GUIs every time I change a camera setting in Blue Iris?

You’re supposed to only put planes down on their side. At school (a vast number of years ago) the woodwork teacher used the cane if we left them like that. Didn’t take me long to learn...
Some people have had an issue where if they make a change to the BI camera settings and that it turns motion on in the camera. Make all BI changes first and then go back into the camera using Internet Explorer and make the changes you want in the actual camera settings and see if that holds then.

Seems best all-round to do most changes in the camera? - that's when they should save, though....!
I meant all changes that would be done within BI first - like turn off BI motion detection and set up to pull ONVIF triggers first and any alert settings, etc. THEN go into the camera and do the settings that should be done in the camera.
BI is not intended to make changes to camera settings, thus why we make all the camera changes within the camera, but then we get an event like this that is somehow changing the camera setting, so in this event we do not want to open the camera settings in BI AFTER we made the changes to the camera.
It doesn't mean it won't still happen, but pulling up the BI camera settings and hitting save or refresh camera could send an accidental command to the camera.

Perform #2, and you'll not have to worry about it any longer. No need to complicate the process. If you clear zone area it won't matter if the Motion get's enabled again.
