    Daylight savings time?

    I found the settings, all taken care of. When my dad set everything up initially, he took DST into account, so I didn't need to change anything.

    Well, it's a good thing that I have instruction booklets and stuff for them.

    Daylight savings time?

    Hi everyone, daylight savings time change is coming up at some point, and I have no idea how this is going to go or what I need to do, and I didn't see anything when I looked through the how tos and instructions. Advice? Thanks! My setup: 3 cameras, 1 desktop (Win 7). No internet at all...

    BI won't move files

    Bob, the clips from 9/16 weren't moving for some reason, but all the others did. I turned on the 8 day thing more recently, and BI took a while to move them both but it did. I have changed the # of days a few times to have BI move files or not based on where I am in reviewing. Southern Yankee -...

    BI won't move files

    Update. BI moved the last file on it's own - I noticed it while reviewing the rest of last week's videos. (before I tried your last suggestion fenderman) Yes, I could view the files, they just wouldn't move. Also, I tried to put an internal in. There was no room in the tower to do so. Poor...

    Well, I posted a bunch of screenshots of the settings. Do you require any others?

    BI won't move files

    Update: BI has successfully moved one of the two files on it's own. It keeps trying to move the 2nd file. I assume eventually it will work.

    BI won't move files

    External drive is connected via usb3, it's in one of the ports on the back so I can't accidentally hit it. I have tried tightening it, just in case. I've had no trouble with it spinning up to transfer large files. Just not as fast as an internal (no room in the tower for an internal)...

    BI won't move files

    Ok. Screen shots of many settings, probably more than you need. I have 3 cameras, they're all setup exactly the same. System has been up since Labor Day.

    BI won't move files

    Um, that was a joke? Sorry if it wasn't clear (not sarcasm). Yes, I'm aware that I don't know much about the software. I'm aware that I'm using a fraction of it's capabilities. I'm aware that compared to many on here I have a tiny setup. I know all this. I come here to get help when I run into...

    BI won't move files

    You guys are no fun /s. My ability to use this software is pretty limited. Anyway, I changed settings and I think BI tried to move the files last night (2am). Tried is the key word here, they're still there. Suggestions?

    BI won't move files

    Oh, sorry! Meant 5 TB. I'm not used to TB ;) Each clip is about 14 GB (8 hours video & audio, if that sounds off, let me know and I'll find the you tube video about those settings) Gonna change settings to have it try to move those 2 files automatically. Will telling BI to move things in...

    BI won't move files

    As I review clips, to keep myself organized, I tell BI to move them to Stored. I have cameras because of a problem neighbor (who majorly escalated last week, so very glad I've got the property destruction on video), I review all the footage. 3 cameras x 8 hours a clip x 24/7 recording = a lot of...

    BI won't move files

    Hi all, minor problem. I have 2 file locations: the "New" folder on drive C, and the "Stored" folder on drive D. D is an external hard drive. There are 2 clips in BI that I'm trying to move from the New folder to the Stored folder. I do this through BI, right click and select Move. These files...

    Will this damage the camera?

    From what I know, this individual may not know what youtube is. Legal stuff will happen at some point. Good to know the camera isn't at risk (from this at least).

    Will this damage the camera?

    I put cameras up because of my neighbor. I was reviewing some footage last night, and neighbor went out after dark with an extremely powerful flashlight and shined it directly at the camera for about 30 seconds. Then turned on a strobe feature for about 30 seconds. Aside from the shitty...

    Idiot newbie, some questions

    Hello! Cameras were installed last weekend and working fine. Mostly thanks to a few of you who helped. Couple random questions for you. 1. Computers need to be rebooted periodically. How often do I need to reboot this computer? Guessing weekly. (It's not on internet) 2. When I reboot the...

    BI exporting audio, but no video

    VLC worked. Good, I've got that clip at least. Next - what settings/where do I need to modify to make sure I don't overwrite data? I've got 8TB of space to play with. Or link me to another thread with it please?

    BI exporting audio, but no video

    I copied the bvr file to another folder, there's 2 of them for the applicable camera, and are about 6gb total. Will go get the mp4 and try it. And won't delete manually, promise!

    BI exporting audio, but no video

    Assume no? Can I download one from somewhere and put it on a flashdrive? (the camera machine isn't on the internet) Also, how do I change that default? I don't want to delete stuff until I delete it.

    BI exporting audio, but no video

    I'm new, completely clueless. I need to export a video from earlier today (yay, validation on why I spent $1500 on cameras...), and I'm following the instructions in the video: When I export my video as MP4, I get audio, but no video. Help please. Let me know what screenshots you need. BI 4...

    help - not recording?

    Hello, I'm new, and beyond dumb on this. Just installed all the cameras today, and I found the videos that one user put together on Blue Iris. He was talking about the red dot in the upper right corner of the window that means the camera is recording. Well, I have 3 cameras, picture on all of...

    All I can say is, thank you. Because I need to save a clip from earlier today (while still installing the damn things!), and I have no idea how to do that. Or anything. Your videos are going to save me.

    New, beyond new, please critique this equipment

    Wow, thanks guys. So, I did NOT get the bulk cable - I thought that factor sealed cable would be better for waterproofing. Will be reading all the wikis and stuff, because I just got the last component today. Will be setting everything up this weekend. Wish me luck - this is not going to be easy.
