Blue Iris Schedule, need confirmation and some help

[rickroll]

Hello everyone!

So, I want camera to record continuous from 8:00am until 7:30pm Monday-Friday and in other hours triggered on motion detection. Saturday and Sunday all hours motion detection. Proflie 1 is continuous and profile 3 for motion. Does it look right in pictures?
By the end of the next month I will have total of 33 cameras on Blueiris server.
How do I make a schedule for all cameras at once?

I also set up txt alert but I don't get any alerts. What could be the problem? Email alerts work fine

you should be setting the schedule in the global schedule..not using the override

So, i tried that initially but where do I set how each profile should record?

in the record tab of each camera

Oh...that's a bummer.

Thanks!

whats the problem...its a quick change..

What if I will be having 50 cameras and need to change schedule, not so quick.

...you need to uncheck override...if it takes you more than 2 minuets for all 30 cams you have now have a problem..you wont have to do this for the rest of the cams...as you wont make the same mistake with them
the changing the schedule will happen in the global schedule and will take 20 seconds.

hopefully you did some research because 50 cameras depending on the resolution is a huge load for blue iris.

Ok, so how would I go about it? I click each camera, go to record then pick profile 3 and click ok? Since all cameras already recording on profile 1 continuously

no, you would set the schedule in the global...then in the camera record tab select profile one and select your options then select profile 3 and select your options.

Thanks. Looks like everything works as intended.
What do i do to make video clips which triggered during profile 3 to be stored in separate folder like "Motion"?
What about each camera having its separate folder?
I tried to look in cliping/achiving, then tried camera properties and it gives an error, I attached the picture.
I have RAID on my server and all 17 locations that I have at the moment are stored on drive E its not too much work for me to locate. However, when I will be up at 30+ cameras with video cuts of 1 hour from 30 locations it might be a little annoying.

you can setup 7 aux folders in the clips and archiving tab..its silly to start separating each camera in a distincnt folder...the whole purpose of a vms with a database is to manage everything for you...
before you think about 30+ cameras are you sure you have the hardware for it? read the wiki,.

I read wiki, made posts here before and everyone told me that it wont work but at 17 cameras my old Xeon E3-1220 V3 @ 3.10GHz is at 7%-11% CPU and 1.32GB (20GB total) RAM load.
I put camera on lowest resolution, 10FPS transfer rate and direct-to-disc video compression in BI.
When I locally RDP into my server I just need to see BI camera panel to make sure all cameras are up and running. Also managers of 5 main groups in our company have remote access to BI server to see cameras of their satellite offices. They only need to playback 2 weeks of past recordings. I think I have enough resources to support 32 cameras if anything I have couple of other Xeons.

The "Limit decoding" setting works wonders if you need to run an extremely large load and don't want to sacrifice resolution and frame rate. But if you use it, be sure to configure all camera groups to not require/decode all frames when streaming. I wouldn't use "Limit decoding" along with motion detection though!
