Hi Wittaj, A quick question. This weekend I plan on reconfiguring the storage location like you instructed me to. But my question is because I am still on a limited amount of storage space for the continual use cameras, and the space is getting full would this cause some of the cameras to...

Thanks Wittaj .

Hello, I am running 8 cameras, 4 which are on continuous recording. I would like to save the continual recording cameras to my NAS because it has much more storage space and the other "motion detection" cameras to the internal storage of the server. Is there a way to configure individual...

I do like the whole idea of recording with continuous+triggers, especially since it is not for all my cameras but just a few that are in areas of interest. And I would only like to get a time period of a 7 day continuous play per cam. Wittaj made a very good point, If something like this...

Hi Wittaj, I really like that idea of continuous+Trigger. I know It sounds a little cheap worrying about storage space but whatever size HD I have I always like to squeeze as much video into it as possible when it comes to my security system. So! Using continuous+trigger will record the...

Hello All, Last night after arriving home form work there where a number of shots fired within 60 feet of my residence. The Police arrived and asked if they can view the footage of my cameras. My cameras have served me well thus far but from time to time because I have them set for motion...

Hello, I just installed 3 new Amcrest POE Dome cameras. They appear to be working properly because the picture is very good during the day time, but I am having a hard time configuring them to have a good picture during night time. They are set up at the optimum height of 10 feet but still...

I just renewed my yearly subscription to BlueIris and downloaded the most recent version. Now I donot see any of my alerts being recorded in the database. I use to see a checkmark for each day there was a clip on the calendar to view but now the checkmarks are no longer showing. 'any...

Hello, I am going to replace all my Reolink cameras with Amcrest because I have not heard many inspiring things about Reolink but have about Amcrest. Also I have all my cameras mounted 15 to 20 feet high and have read that they should be no more than 10 feet for best quality? Are Amcrest...

Hello, Formating a new WD 4T purple surveillance hdd. Should I be concerned about which format to use? I formatted it in blocks of 1024 using EXFAT not NTFS, and seems to be working fine. Is this format ok to use? What do you think? Thank you Paul

I have a new security system with a 4 terabyte HHD and a 256 gigabyte M.2 SSD. What would be the best storage configuration for this setup? Can I keep the OS and BI together on the M.2 and use the HDD for both new and stored footage or CAN and should I keep new footage on the M.2? Any help...
