there is no check box to use only the clip age and not the size. the check box "limit clip age " Using separately isnt the same as using only amount of days which should have the computer do the calculations. is there No simple feature like most nvrs have that the program looks at the disk size and just uses it.
the limit folder size - is per folder - meaning if i have it at 500gb that would be the size of the new folder and the sie of the storage folder
Simply uncheck the clip age. IF you only want to use clip age, then set the size artificially high. Tough that is silly since you want to store as much as possible so it makes no sense to use clip age unless you have a requirement to delete files early.
Yes, it is not like a simple NVR. You have much more options with specific folders. Its takes exactly 15 seconds to set this.
You are misunderstanding the size limit. EACH folder has its OWN size limit. You can set the new to 100gb and the stored to 1000 and the aux to 50..etc...thats the beauty of
blue iris. This allows you to retain footage from certain cameras longer than others.
