Yes I can say it has not reached the size limit but is past the day limit. I lowered the size limit

My understanding is direct to disk is obly for h.264 and hd not mpegs?

I see. The video steam on the monitor is not 100% smooth but not bad. Wonder if bi video or wibdows media are any different

Ok so I could use one of the drop down aux folders in the clips and archiving tab for a particular cam and then choose it on the recording tab?

For remote viewing of a wireless cam you need to have static DNS and port forwarding.

This is camgirl8888 but somehow posting under my old forum name fin that I forgot so re-registered. All of my snaps and videos are in my new folder. Is there a way to have a separate folder for each cam? Aftrt 24 hours I can get over 200,000 files in the folder

I am wondering if I need to designate an alert folder for these or can all snaps go into my new folder then storage?

Ok and then for alerts do I choose fire camera upon motion and group? I am wondering if a cam is triggered by motion on its own and also by a group cam if it overloads or which one takes precendence? Maybe whichever happens first?

What would make blue iris time out on cameras when in reality they are working just fine and sending emails as per the way I have them programmed internally.

Here is another question - my dsl modem from my cable company is also a wireless router but not powerful. So I have connected by ethernet a netgear router with a better broadcast. All of the cams are now connected either wirelessly to the Netgear or via powerline adaptor to Netgear. Is this ok...

How do I reduce bandwidth?

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I do have one extender and I understand that it cuts the bandwidth 50%. I think I need to get powerline adaptors for these as running ethernet to this area is impossible. They also make outdoor powerline adaptors. Then out of all of my cameras only 2 would...

They all work off of the same ddns site if I want them to, but for the port number being different. So I can use for example xyz.myfoscm.org if xyz is available for at least one camera and then just change the port for each cam. This has been working for several years but suddenly with blue iris...
