Hello,
I can't figure out what's causing my BI to record 2 second clips on every camera. Below is an example of my settings. Am I missing something stupid?

Hello, I can't see either what could be wrong but here are my settings for an identical setup

Trigger > Capture image list => off
Record > Include JPEGS on 'All clips' & timeline => off

I had a similar problem when I tried to encode my recordings to save space, to fix it I did Record > Video file format and compression > File and container format = Blue Iris .dvr and also direct-to-disk video.

This might be the same issue. good luck
 
Your configuration saves jpeg snapshots. Are you sure the "2 second clips" you are seeing are not just these snapshots? Quality 100% is extremely inefficient by the way.
Oops that's exactly what it was. I was assuming since it said "clips" it would be video. What i really needed to look at was "alerts" which are the actual clips it's cutting. Thanks! What would you recommend for a quality?

For jpegs, 70-85% is my usual range depending on what I'm going to use it for. Above 85%, there's rarely much visual difference but the file size just keeps going up.
