Look at using a sub folder per camera (see &CAM in bi...

    Neighbors caught stealing!

    I live in Houston Texas. If anything is left in the grass strip between the side walk and the street, it means it is considered garbage. So it is fair game. I put 8 large white resin lawn chairs out this past week and they were gone in 20 minutes.

I run 21 cameras, some 4K, mostly 2K, to a WD 4TB purple drive, absolutely no problems for over a year. I use a 1024K...
