Click on the status button on the top left (fourth from the left) and look at the messages tab...where does BI keep their log files?
This may help...from the help file...so when I set to use the local drive the move worked. OK so it is something with the mapped drive. I have BI running as a service, and I am using a service account not local system. thoughts?
Dont use hotspot, it will trigger way too often, setup proper motion settings. Blue iris will keep a trigger going as long as there is additional movement...to ensure you dont miss anything set the BREAK time to 30 seconds.This may have been asked and answered but I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of this: My goal is to have a BRIEF clip recorded upon motion activation via a hot-spot. EX: If someone passed by the camera it would begin to record for a predetermined mount of time and then stop. If they pass by again or stayed within the frame (moving around ) the camera would continue to record until the action stopped. For some reason I am getting very long clips (over an hour) and cannot seem to find a way to shorten their recording time. Also, in the RECORD tab for a camera I don't understand the line "10:00 Min for 5 Sec." nor can I change these as the drop-downs for MIN and SEC do not function, therefore I cannot change them just in case this might help to fix my clip length. I admit that I am brand new to BI4 so there may be a setting somewhere that I am missing.
The hot spot makes the area extra sensitive and defeats the sensitivity settings. All you need to do is mask the areas you dont want triggered and the remaining area will trigger motion.Fendernam, thanks. I was under the impression that the hot spot (red box) is what triggers the motion detection in a given area and that the mask brush creates the areas to ignore. How should I be creating a "trigger" area within the frame?
yes, that is what the aux folders are forIs there a way to create a new folder for archiving? I have a fairly large array that needs to be stored for a long time. Trying to make it easy as possible on myself.
Cheers!
There are 7 aux by default, cant I create more, I could use about 27 more.yes, that is what the aux folders are for
no...27 folders is extreme and excessive..what are you trying to do?There are 7 aux by default, cant I create more, I could use about 27 more.
Run 30 cameras, and have directories for each of them, if that isn't possible then make sure they are distinctly labeled for each 2 hour clip.no...27 folders is extreme and excessive..what are you trying to do?
I guess I could make the clips longer as needed considering the high volume.Run 30 cameras, and have directories for each of them, if that isn't possible then make sure they are distinctly labeled for each 2 hour clip.
the length of the clops is irrelevant to folders.I guess I could make the clips longer as needed considering the high volume.
Look man, I am not here to argue. I have a shit ton of cameras that will be recording 24/7. Therefor a folder for each camera would be Ideal. The reason I mentioned clip length is in terms of organization, It was an attempt to elaborate how worried I am about having to sift through extreme amounts of clips to find what I am looking for. Then again, sifting a 10 hour clip is not ideal.the length of the clops is irrelevant to folders.
A folder for each camera is silly...there is no reason for it unless you specifically have different retention requirements for each camera...blue iris has a database, all the clips are easily sorted within blue iris itself. Stop with the OCD...if you want more folders email support and ask for it...you dont have to sift through a 10 hour clip, that is what motion detection alerts are for...then you can easily scrub the timeline to find what you are looking for.Look man, I am not here to argue.

Thank you for your help, a simple "no" would have been just fine.
