Days of video per camera - Overview - Possible?

[scoob8000]

I've got a couple drives mixed in my BI machine, and various cams set to record to different drives.

Is there any easy way to see an overview of how many days of each cam are getting recorded? Bonus, see size usage by camera.

I know I can solo an individual camera and look for the red dots on the calendar but was just thinking it would be nice to see it all at once.

I use a custom PowerShell script to inspect per camera disk usage.

I've created a PowerShell script for summarizing the contents of the Blue Iris clip directories. I created this script because I've always found examining the unindexed Blue Iris clips folders using Windows Explorer to be tedious at best. I'm confident to say that the first time you use this...

Some users have reported it hangs on their system, but it's always worked for me.

The above-mentioned script reports a date range used for per camera file types, but does not calculate days... I might add that calculation.

I was just playing around with your script. I like it. Really like the idea of the days calculation. Wink wink nudge nudge lol

It's interesting to see how BI keeps clips on a drive pretty equal in date despiste size.

I have one drive that has a 8mp and a 3mp cam recording to it. There's a lot more data for the 8mp cam, but the oldest file is about the same age.

That is because the oldest clips are deleted first when BI is out of space. How else would it work?
