    Clip and archiving just new

    That general information was provided several times..., (in my first post for starters), but specifically in post #24. Could have been. It runs in the background every five minutes (unless manually invoked otherwise). That's how the folder housekeeping is so efficiently achieved. Not likely...

    Clip and archiving just new

    Don't ever, Ever, EVER open this menu! LOL I used Blue Iris features within the Blue Iris environment to perform Blue Iris functions -- very simple ones at that -- and experienced quite unexpected results in this particular instance for whatever reasons. I would respectfully suggest that...

    Also sorry for hijacking the thread @bishop20012 . Seemed like a relevant concern for someone just starting to mess around with clips and archives -- like myself.

    Sorry for the lack of any screenshots. On the laptop now.

    They're gone. I can see them as 'deleted' but recoverable using File Scavenger. And we're talking two different 'move' options and menus. In your illustration, my path is D:\Saved --> the selection was --> delete --> clip limit unchecked. Open clips. Pick one. Right click for the additional...

    The folder was created in BI by BI and the path set by BI. I just re-saved all the clip settings, shut down, and re-started. After successfully moving several clips by the same method to the same destination with clip limits set and delete activated, everything worked fine. I tried the problem...

    You don't pay attention. I used the "Move" function in the BI context menu that is associated with the actual clip itself. I selected the intended drive that was clearly an available option as determined by BI. With no clip limit set and the radio button set to delete, the clips vaporized. Set a...

    Clip and archiving just new

    Data bases store stuff and are managed by external engines. They don't control anything. This was an action, not a relational reference error causing a database to delete something. And when I say I manually moved the files, I used the 'move' function in the context menu. It works as you would...

    No big red warning popped up to tell me otherwise. And you weren't around to hold my hand. Point is, what happened shouldn't have -- at least not without a warning about the possible consequences.

    I get all that for the most part. And I'm getting there with the build. I simply wanted to move two files from a cluster**** of clips to a location where I could edit the video and then get the rest sorted out accordingly. I've read the wiki. I've read the manual help files. I've seen nothing...

    Clip and archiving just new

    Just experienced a rather frustrating and completely unforeseen issue while creating a couple HDD clip folders on a new BI installation. Everything was set to default except limit size and clip age which I changed slightly. I left 'db', 'new' and 'alerts' on the SSD and moved 'stored' to the HDD...

    Excellent. Thanks, guys. Starting to find my way round the threads a bit, but have learned a ton right here. Your time and input is much appreciated. Has sure saved me a bunch of huntin' and peckin'.

    'Preciate the input, folks. Lots to learn and digest. I still feel like I'd be better served in both the short and long term with a BI solution over a dedicated hardware NVR. Still cruising the local ads for rig possibilities now that I'm a little more educated on the requirements involved...

    My humble i5-4590 still humming along with 30+ cams:

    I'm aware of the criticisms and they generally don't apply to my particular situation or application of the devices. This is a seat-of-the-pants implementation of what I just happen to have on hand -- which is eight camera coverage for a grand total of 160 bux at present. And I don't have the...

    They gobble it up from being nearly 100% cloud based unless they have the RTSP firmware -- which still needs to call home way too often. I have 4 running on BI with almost zero lag. It's all hanging off a dedicated router with a dedicated 2.4 channel for the cams. There's more lag with the...

    My humble i5-4590 still humming along with 30+ cams:

    They both work better in BI than anything else I've tried! 'Course the V3s won't work with the Reolink NVR -- at least not that I've figured out so far. Maybe a dedicated AP with a DHCP server of the Reolink subnet, but I think the NVR is going back anyway. 'Preciate the input. And I'm not...

    My humble i5-4590 still humming along with 30+ cams:

    What I've been chasing today are non-existent sub streams on the Wyze v3s with the RTSP firmware. LOL Silly me. And I just got a Reolink NVR to see how that would fly, but BI on my fairly weak HP rig blows it away for image quality all other things being equal. Very disappointed with that and...

    My humble i5-4590 still humming along with 30+ cams:

    And forgive my ignorance on the sub-stream subject. A little more reading helped sort that out for me. Sorta depressing, actually. You buy cams with great viewing and immediately degrade their capabilities just to save real-time resources in case you may want to see something of interest they...

    Since this thread popped up active today, I'm still in need of some advice on hardware as specifically relates to what will primarily be a live viewing system vs. a 24/7 recording setup. Am I correct in thinking my hardware requirements will be much higher for simply viewing several simultaneous...

    My humble i5-4590 still humming along with 30+ cams:

    Thanks for the replies. The guy had two i5 3020s that were loaded feature/performance-wise for $70 each..., which is about my budget ceiling. Gone by the time I finished posting. Spending $400+. on a BI rig for a simple 8 camera setup isn't in the cards for me when TinyCam almost does what I...

    My humble i5-4590 still humming along with 30+ cams:

    Hi, folks. Gonna just jump right in and ask if anyone has experience using one of the Dell SFF Micros -- specifically with respect to CPU temps? I'm considering a 3020 i5 quad-core version available locally for a modest BI installation with maybe a dozen cameras. I have the BI demo running on a...
