lost trigger icons on timeline, et al.

[mrattray]

Here I go again. Hopefully not as lame as last time. I am loosing all of the trigger times and indicators on the timeline. Just awhile ago I only had them back to 3PM today. Now they are all gone. Some new ones have appeared but the disappear within 5 minutes. Baffled. I now have 9000 GB set for the size of the new folder and have clips at 1hr or 3GB.

Attached are some views of the timeline and a couple of photos of some settings. This just started and I am not aware of anything I changed.

Video shows exactly what is happening. Maybe 20 seconds long.

What is your alerts set to in clips and archiving?

Alerts are at zero. It seemed it was doing ok earlier. Do these need a separate allocation from the new folder. I have 12TB. What should I allocate to new vs alerts

Also I think I have the OpenVPN working or installed but haven't figured out how to test. Still next on list.

LPR doing great though. Only issue I see is the changing of sunrise and sunset. I have the schedule on a fixed time on the Dahua cams. BI seems to allow time setting relative to sunrise/sunset. Is there a way to do that for the 5442 cams that you know of?

You need to give the Alerts at least 1GB or more if you are storing Deepstack burn ins or high-rez alert images.

Most of us use this to deal with sunrise/sunset. Two options are within this thread - a utility you download and use or API within BI.

Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...

Thanks. So much to learn but results are impressive
