OK, I decided to go continuous after getting frustrated with recordings being stopped or missing this with motion detection. I've got a decent size Blue Iris system with 21 Cams all 4mp and above except for 2 of them. All are set to continuous sub + trigger. I do use sub streams and capture audio. I'm recording in 2hr blocks just because files get huge.
My system has 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400 2.50 GHz, with 32.0 GB RAM, 512gig SSD system drive and a WD Purple 12TB HD running windows 11 Home. This PC does nothing but Blue Iris. I was running Code Project AI but kept having issues with it and since I'm recording continuously I didn't see the point.
I've been recording this way for a week. My storage HD (12TB) is not even close to being 1/4 full. I thought I did the math right and figured it would fill up in about 10-14 days. Am I missing something or should I have something set differently? My CPU usage under BI is like 2-12% with a baseline system usage of about 20%. Maybe I was thinking recording continuously would be more system intensive than this. And I start to 2nd guess myself and maybe I don't have it setup quite right.
