    Keep all clips until disk full, then only delete the boring stuff..

    I think what I am looking for might be solved with a per camera setting: Camera Settings, Trigger, When Triggered, Export When Flagged (modify settings) Export to --> Folder Can anyone confirm? i.e. setting this up as above should export a copy (or a reencode) of the flagged video into a...

    Keep all clips until disk full, then only delete the boring stuff..

    I have been using Blue Iris happily (and in almost total ignorance) for a couple of years. My server is 'headless', i.e. it's in the Garage, with no monitor attached. It's also a Windows 10 Home license, so I don't even have Microsoft Remote Desktop possibility, so I am using VNC Viewer to...
