I record 24/7, have 13 cameras and that equates to 9 days on my 8 TB drive. Of that 8TB I've allocated 7.2 to Blue Iris storage. For all my cameras I have them cut after 1 hr and thus the next file is then created. Each file size is around the 1.5 to 1.9 GB. All the BVR files remain in the NEW folder, I do not move them out to the STORED folder.
It's crossed my mind a few times, as I'm not moving those files around, moving from one folder to another folder, is there any real need to keep the files as small as they are, could they be split at 2 hrs, or longer and have no detrimental effect to my system?
I'm curious as to how others configure this part of Blue Iris.
