Hi,
I have been using Blue Iris for about a year now and I am very happy with it. I have 9 cameras with the main stream at 4K/30fps. I have two 14TB drives. One holds a month of 24/7 recording. The other keeps 14 months of alerts. All record at 4K/30fps.
The problem is that I estimate my alerts folder to grow to about 1.4 million files. At this point it only has 400K files and the windows file manager is unusable already. Total Commander can load the directory in 20 seconds and that will probably become 1-2 minutes once the directory fills up.
It will be much better if the alerts directory can be hierarchical in some way. For example one subdirectory per date, or one per month or one per camera.
Does BI have such a feature? Is there any other way to work around this?
Thanks
