I have all cameras set to record continuously with no schedules but every 6 to 8 mins it stops then every 2 to 4 mins it starts back up. Is there any settings that could cause this? I attached pics of my settings

Thanks
Jay

do you actually have it set to continuous? or something else...triggered+continuous is NOT continuous...post an image of the record tab...
also as you can see in red you have over allocated your storage...

no...each folder is a folder, new stored aux etc...you cannot allocate more storage for all folder combined as you have in your setup...we can all agree that you dont have 100000gb of storage available to you..
never limit storage space by day...limit it by space available...always leave free drive space at least 5 percent...

Ok i think i see i had 1 to many 0? The drive is 12tb so should have been 10000gb which should leave me 2 tb. Correct?

1tb does not = 1000 gb, but its close...leave a few hundred gig of free space...

Ok Thanks I unchecked the limit by day and set size to 10000 which should leave me with 1.0 to 1.5 tb for free space

make sure there is no over allocation error being reported..nothing should be red..
