    What is C:\ProgramData\Blue Iris\temp used for?

    My C drive is an SSD of 256GB and only has the BI database on it as recommended. My D drive is a 16TB Seagate. My C drive ran out of room a short time ago and I went in and cleaned up some files, but I could not figure out why so much space was being used. I found a folder "C:\ProgramData\Blue...

    How to stop bees/wasps/hornets from entering PTZ cams?

    I'm having a problem with two of my PTZ cams. I have seen a bee/hornet/wasp entering two of my cams. I'm afraid to spray the cams as that might damage them. Any ideas how I can safely remove them/keep them out? Thanks

    How to reduce "New" storage folder size?

    I have a WD 6TB Purple HD dedicated to BI "New" storage (d:\). I believe I over allocated the drive leaving only ~17GB free. Since I have 12 cams, each producing 1GB per cut, I think I'm too close and this will eventually cause problems. I don't know how to reduce or lower the New folder...
