hdd

I was wondering if I use SSD instead of HDD in my NVR would it will give me more crispy video footage as writing speed increases in SSD. Asking this because I observe the live preview in my NVR is much more sharper than the recorded preview from storage. The camera setting is highest (Video...

So currently I'm using 8TB of NVME in a Raid 0 configuration for my BI drive. With 9 4K cameras, video playback is snappy and I'm quite happy with BI's performance. Recently, I've been kind of craving a big more storage however, because this set up only allows me a few days of playback...

I am building a second Blue Iris machine for my daughter's new house. I've got a Dell Optiplex 7050, 256GB SSD, and a WD Purple 18TB harddrive. (Actually, this will be my machine and I'll hand over my existing HP Prodesk, 8TB WD Purple, to my daughter.) Anyway, there is an option to add a...

I purchased an 8TB Barracuda a while ago as a dedicated drive for BI to record video. It was a disaster. I went back to my 2TB drive but it's only enough for 2 days of recording which isn't enough. Hence, I am looking for a new drive. I know WD has the Surveillance type of drives and Seagate the...

Continuous recording does not work if the size limit of the 'New' folder is near to the size of the HDD. The continuous recording stops every 2-3 minutes in this case. It does not matter if I select the option to move the files (from this folder to an other folder on an other HDD) or I select...

Hi, quick question - is it suitable to have a dedicated PC with an internal SSD drive for Windows, with a Western Digital Purple for the recording connected externally via USB 3 (assuming there's no room internally for it) ? Thanks :)

First let me say that I can manually record to my HDD with the iVMS-4200 client software both still pictures as well as video, but when I try to set things up for auto record during motion detect it won't record even though it does indicate it detects motion. I read where you have to set up the...

Hello, I need to keep footage for about 12 cameras @ 1080p (15fps, H.265) for 90 days due to insurance purposes. I have calculated that it will be about 25-35 terabytes. I have tried all the calculators I can find and this keeps coming up as the estimated storage I need. Can someone please...

I finally had my first hard drive crash (500 gb WD Black drive purchased in 2008). I was only getting 2-3 weeks of storage on it, so i want something bigger... I have settled on the WD Purple, but one 8 TB drive is about the same cost as two 4 TB drives... Would it be better to go with one...

Hi, My new set-up storage-wise consists of a 128GB SSD and a 2TB WD Purple HDD, and currently 2 cameras (about 6MP in total) recording continuously. I've read on here (and it seems logical), that there's no performance gain in writing video to the SSD first, so I just used that for system disk...

When I access NVR through web browser and click start recording, I noticed the file is saved to my computer (the path is defined in "local configuration"). I do not want files to be saved in my computer, I would like them to be saved in NVR's HDD. Where is the problem?
