The downside with this method is that the zoom only worked for me in steps. Do the same for zoom in but change the command to CTRL+SHIFT+2.
Select “Zoom out” for the function and press “Set to next command typed” and press CTRL+ SHIFT+1 on your keyboard (not the buttons on the joystick). Go to the keyboard shortcut tab of Blue Iris settings and make a new shortcut. Second option is to set the buttons to keyboard shortcuts. Might be a pain to set up but if you can get it working, probably your best bet. This seemed to work very inconsistent for me and anytime I wanted to disable it or change which button number it started with I had to uncheck that box, unplug the joystick, refresh the joysticks in Blue Iris, then plug the joystick back in and refresh and select it from the drop down. You should be able to use the buttons to control zoom one of two ways though.įirst is the option on the settings joystick page that says “Map zoom to consecutive buttons beginning with #”.
I had to do some testing on mapping zoom to buttons since I have two joysticks that I use that have three axis (up/down, left/right, and twist) that Blue Iris natively sets the twist axis to zoom.
