Some cameras are just missing footage from the same window every day?
- Thread starter Ri22o
- Start date
@Ri22o I assume for every cam above you don't have a schedule to switch profile at 7:30 each morning?
For each cam, when you configured combine, what is the max file size here? What are the file sizes for those recordings at 7:30?
BTW, I have a batch script, configured to run every hr, that delete *.dat files older than 7 days. *.dat files are for debugging my AI settings. I don't feel like keeping them long term because they take up space in that folder.
Make sure to remove all files in Alerts folder OLDER than your oldest recording file, and rerun compact.
If you haven't done, another tip to reduce # of files in Alerts is, for every cam, when there is AI cancelled events, I set to delete. No need to save jpg for cancelled events.

Average typical file size for 7:00-7:30 is 1.76GB.
7:30-X:XX was 1.0GB.
Combine/Cut is set to 4GB.
Oddly enough all cameras only recorded to 1.0GB (+/- .01) and then quit until 8:00. The file size varies every day, but they all seem to be the same file size when they quit.
Profile switch varies and is based on Sunrise/Sunset, but none of them are at 7:30. Today Sunrise was set to +15:00 on a 7:47 sunrise, so not until 8:02.
This is a cam quitting at 7:30+
This is another cam without issues.
