Adjusting the threshold for Cameras Not Providing Video

In version 3.1x.xxxx you can now adjust the threshold for cameras providing video from the default of 90 sec.  Here's how:

• Browse to: C:\Program Files (x86)\The Boring Lab\Boring Toolbox
• Open your text editor as administrator
• In the text editor open: BoringToolbox.exe.config
• In the document find: NotProvidingVideoThresholdSeconds
• Value can be any integer less than 3600 (1 hour)

Sample for a timeout of 10 seconds

<add key="NotProvidingVideoThresholdSeconds" value="10" />

In v4.2.x you can change the camera not providing video threshold directly from the client as opposed to the config file.  

• There are two ways to get to the settings dialog
  • From the initial logon screen
    • On the bottom left side of the screen click on the block gear  
  • From the pinned Global Dashboard tab
    • In the upper right side of the dashboard click 
• This will open the settings dialog
• Change the Camera Not Providing Video Threshold to your preferred time interval
  • Default is 90 sec
  • Acceptable values are 1 through 3600 seconds
