    BVR Backup

    I have a large storage of blue iris video. It's about 140tb (40,500 files) of recorded video. I'm trying to figure out the best way to back this up. My first thought is manually transfer the .BVR files to another drive. Then monthly or before updates, I can transfer the most recent files. The...

    Pre trigger recording and sensitivity

    This may be a long winded question. I am curious what may be best practice to capture recording. I have been using BI for seven years now. At this point I’m fine tuning. First, we have trigger settings. Setting the Min-Max object size and trigger duration will set the trigger. I have this setup...

    Ok, I am trying to get CP.AI and LPR to work with BI. I’m having some trouble. Here are some screen shots of how things are setup right now. Any suggestions to be able to save these plates? Thank you!

    California and Washington State : FFL required in CA to have CCTV / security cameras .. WA following CA

    Yep, Im a CA FFL and rebuilt my entire security camera system for the law that went into effect Jan 1. As stated above I have to maintain 24 hour and 365 days of audio/ video recording for all entries, exits, places guns are displayed, and points of sale. I originally had 30 cameras around...

    BI Dream Machine

    So far so good. Only issue is 4 of the 14 internal hard drives are running a little warm. I’ll relocate them inside the case. I have 32 cameras running of 48 planned total. The processor is only showing 3-4% usage. If the processor starts to get warm I’ll switch to liquid cooled. But for now...

    FPS Question

    Under the camera settings window, General Tab, The bottom right hand corner shows the current incoming specs for the camera. I have question about the FPS. Mine shows 15.6/0.51 FPS for Main Stream. I have the camera set at 16fps and iframe at 16. What is the 0.51 mean? Thanks

    BI Dream Machine

    I just completed my dream BI build. Due to some changes in laws, I needed a large and stable machine For my business. It was fun to research and build. It will record 6 cameras at 5mp 16fps audio/video for 24/7 365 days. Then 42 cameras at 4-8mp for 30-90 days. Plan to use Code Project AI on...

    Writing to two HDs

    Im trying to find a good 8-12 bay DAS right now that will Raid 6. NAS appears to be overkill for me. I don’t need all those functions they come with.

    Writing to two HDs

    Ok, I’m back with more questions/ suggestion request. I appreciate all the input so far. I’ve noticed most NAS enclosures prefer NAS drives instead of surveillance drives. So, here are my thought on a couple of options. I’m not sure I’m understanding the BI storage options completely but I...

    Thank you for that, i missed it. I will adjust back to just H265. Now Ill mess with bit rate and resolution to save space.

    Why doesn’t BI like 265+?

    Writing to two HDs

    My fault for giving that impression. This is gonna cost a lot. I accept that. Im really trying to learn more about BI and using NAS or backup. My thoughts now are this. 1. Main BI Computer i7-14700 64TB DDR5 Ram 1 or 2 TB NVME OS Drive 4 TB extra drive used for whatever I may need Nvidia...

    Writing to two HDs

    Awesome, may I ask what network drive and enclosure you use? (Surveillance HD, NAS HD, etc) Is the enclosure hooked up over the network via cat 5/6 I assume? I’m really starting to like this idea of cloning the six cameras I need this extra backup. It’s 365 days of audio/video. I’ve been...

    Writing to two HDs

    Another thought I had. Save 14-21 days of video to an BI Server HD (not the OS drive but another drive in the computer) then have it move to another drive in an enclosure to save for the needed 365 days of saved video. My current setup just sends all recording straight to a HD in the...

    Writing to two HDs

    My current setup uses a cheap 5 bay Sabrent hooked up with USB 3.2. Each bay has a 12tb WD Purple. This has been working for me for 6 years. Obviously I know you know more than I do, but what problems would this cause? Or am I misunderstanding you and you are saying not to use network storage...

    Writing to two HDs

    I was not under the impression that a thunderbolt 2-bay enclosure on raid 1 was cheating out. They are about $200-300 each from OWC. Mobius has one at $160, that’s probably the cheapest. But Daisy chained thunderbolt devices appear to be solid and high transfer rates.

    the WD Purple 18 or 22 TB are not on their compatibility list. It will work but no customer support or and no warranty. They do allow a limited selection of 3rd party but it appears to be getting smaller. There are forums after forums that discuss their change in business plan. It bums me out...

    I did google but with all the spam stuff I just dont know enough to know what software is legit or not. I’m open to suggestions. I can also do some research on other forums that specialize in NAS And backup. I did not think of cloning the camera, that is a great idea! Each cloned camera can...

    I need some redundancy in case of drive failure or whatever else may occur. Either way I need to backup my saved video.

    Writing to two HDs

    Im really trying to decide how to have backup. Obviously RAID is not backup, but redundancy for drive failure. How else could I backup the saved BI video?

    Writing to two HDs

    When setting up recording I have the option to choose one folder or HD. Is it possible to write the same video to two HDs? Or should I just run a Raid 1 Drive (two drives mirrored) and have the redundancy done with RAID?
