ssd

I've been using Blueiris for 10 years and just in the past month I've run into a strange issue where files are not moving down the drive cascade correctly. This causes me to manually move files in order to ensure that the New doesn't fill up which would then fail to create new recordings, I...

I was wondering if I use SSD instead of HDD in my NVR would it will give me more crispy video footage as writing speed increases in SSD. Asking this because I observe the live preview in my NVR is much more sharper than the recorded preview from storage. The camera setting is highest (Video...

So currently I'm using 8TB of NVME in a Raid 0 configuration for my BI drive. With 9 4K cameras, video playback is snappy and I'm quite happy with BI's performance. Recently, I've been kind of craving a big more storage however, because this set up only allows me a few days of playback...

Although I have no idea how many cameras I will have in the end, I’m starting with 2 and can see having at least 8. Assume 2mp, 15fps, h264, continuous recording and 30 days of retention if possible and with some room for growth. Perhaps the motion clips are saved for 30 days and the continuous...

Hello, I need to keep footage for about 12 cameras @ 1080p (15fps, H.265) for 90 days due to insurance purposes. I have calculated that it will be about 25-35 terabytes. I have tried all the calculators I can find and this keeps coming up as the estimated storage I need. Can someone please...

Hi, My new set-up storage-wise consists of a 128GB SSD and a 2TB WD Purple HDD, and currently 2 cameras (about 6MP in total) recording continuously. I've read on here (and it seems logical), that there's no performance gain in writing video to the SSD first, so I just used that for system disk...

Hi all. I've bought a secondhand PC (4th Gen i5 / 4GB RAM) to run a very modest BI set-up which I expect to end up being no more than 4-5 cameras between 2 & 5M pixels. I already have a WD Purple 2TB for the video recordings, but I want to buy an SSD for the OS / install / DB. I read on here a...

I am having an issue with BlueIris motion activated recordings freezing for a period of 7 seconds at random intervals. See this link for sample. Issue is at 07:18:25. I am running BlueIris with 5 IP cams on an Athlon X6 1100xt with 16gb of ram and an SSD and my CPU utilization, even when...

I just got thru replacing and cloning a drive and migrating the OS to a new SSD. My OEM drive was dying and I managed to clone it with Macrium to a new WD black and while I was at it added a Samsung 250G SSD. I used Macrium to clone my drive with win 7 64 bit and it worked fine. Then I added...

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks to all of you for posting good questions and great answers. I've been visiting this forum for quite a while and leaned quite a lot without asking a single question. From this research I have been able to begin to build my own video security system that...
