Hi,
I'm evaluating BI and I have a few questions.
Triggering
I've set-up my cameras to record when they're triggered. I've masked out areas so it will only trigger on the area I want it to monitor. It works great, however once it triggers I get the alert on the alert list but it also seems to continually record from that moment on too. I thought it may only record the thing that triggered it and then stop after a short period, or am I misunderstanding how this works?
Clips & Archiving
The help file doesn't cover the Clips and Archiving section in options. I suspect I've understood it correctly, but I want to confirm.
In the folders section you have the 'Select to edit' with options "New", "Stored", and "Alerts".
Below the folder definition you then have limit options followed by Delete, Recycle and Move to folder.
Clips that are freshly recorded go in the "New" folder
When the clip is older than X days (5 in my case) the options below determine what happens to it? Mine it set to "Move to Folder - Stored" so I assume it will move the clip to the other folder set-up for "Stored" clips. After this it will then follow the rules as set under the "Stored" drop down?
Why can't I change the archive options for Alerts? If I go on holiday for 14 days, I assume I need to keep all the Alerts on my local drive (I'll use a NAS for archive) for 20 days (for example)
It seems like great software.
