I have a Blue Iris system running on a Dell PC. I currently have 500gb internal SSD and a 4tb SATA HD. I have 20 cameras (primarily 4 and 5 mb Dahua). I'm using motion triggers to capture events. But I would like to go continuous. I realize I have a pretty large pool of cameras. I looked at the page (on this forum) to calculate storage needed. I'm guestimating a needed space of about 9 terabyte.
Questions:
1. Can I have mixed recordings. Example, some cameras would capture continuous while others capture on motion. I don't need continuous recording on about 5 or 6 of my cameras.
2. Can you use an external HDD w/ USB 3.0 as a primary HDD for continuous recording on Blue Iris?
Right now WD Purple survellance rated HD is about 250 for a 12tb drive. I can go internal HD, that's not a problem. But I was just thinking of the ease of plug and play with an external HD setup
