Proper Blue Iris Settings

[jjjccc]

I have successfully connected my cameras, however, when I tried to retrieve the recorded videos, it's only showing recordings in the past 24 hours...

I was wondering if I could pay anyone of you to help me step by step setup my Blue Iris, including proper triggers, recording and alert settings!

Welcome to IPCT!

Before you break out that wallet, have you consulted BI's built-in "Help"? It's quite extensive and will likely answer many of your questions.

I did give it a crack myself reading through the help docs and also youtube videos... but it's just too many features I'd like to get someone much more familiar on what I want and can setup it up correctly.

I might have encountered a theft, but I think it has been rolled-over already

You need to pay close attention to your retension settings. There are settings to how long the system will save material. I honestly don't remember what the default settings are. It is also possible that the system move the videos out of the "New" folder and put them into a "Saved" folder. I believe that is how the system is set up by default.
