I have noticed that when BI crashes or restarts I always see an entry in the log for "encountered unexpected file". it first started out with ".dat" files located in the alerts folder, I later realized I had all of my cameras set to save AI analysis. I have since unchecked that box for each camera and deleted all of the ".dat" files in this folder. Now I am seeing these same log entries for jpg files in the alerts folder. I do have all of the cameras set to save HI-RES images for my push notifications on pushover. I use pushover due to the native alerts that are sent to our iphones have never been consistent (hit and miss). I also like the way pushover works better than the native BI notifications.

as to the unexpected files, has anyone else found a solution for this? I am suspecting it's due to the naming scheme on the file making it more characters that BI can handle properly. I have looked in the setting and cannot find a way to change the naming scheme for alert files, only images that are saved to the Images folder to even test this theory out.
