Hello,

I seem to be having an issue with BI only recording the previous day, despite having set sufficient space for at least a week of footage. I am recording continuously, but my timeline looks like this:

My settings are here:

I seem to have enough space:

What am I missing something?

You appear to have only 1 drive in your machine, C drive.

You should have only Windows, BI and BI's "db" folder on C: drive and ideally it should be a SSD.
The "new" and "stored" folders (video clips) should be on a surveillance-rated spinning HDD such as a WD Purple or a NAS.
After you make any clip storage changes perform a db repair.

I suggest you follow @SouthernYankee 's advice here ==>> My standard allocation post

You have several issues.

Best to retain based on available storage not days.

NEVER move from NEW to STORED on the same drive. Simply keep it all in new.

200-250GB is not a lot a lot of space and is probably the issue.

You have an over-allocation error, so space is the problem.

Since you are putting it all on the C drive, you need to leave space for Windows, BI, any other programs, as well as about 10% of the capacity not allocated for to allow Windows to function.

But you really should look to add a drive just for the video.
