When I got into IP cams, my starting point was what I learned from this forum,
Best as I recall, the general guidance was to install SD cards so that you have a backup recording of events, should primary recording on the
Blue Iris PC fail.
So I installed a 256 MB SD cards in each camera as I installed it.
A couple of times I tried to get recording going, did not find my way to the right place on the menus, and put it off to "one of these days."
Today was the day.
Your kind response, followed by a couple of YouTube hits got me started on recording.
Not a whole lot more than that.
Am going to ponder over what you do, it sounds interesting.
