BI Not Combining Clips Anymore

[fediddy]

BI would combine clips after a certain amount of time and the last couple of days this process has stopped functioning. I have 3 Hard drives I am using for storage. I have it setup when one is full it moves to the next and when that one is full it moves to the next and when that one is full it deletes. I probably have it setup incorrectly but I want to store as much information as possible so I can review at a later time if needed. Currently it is about 5 months of data.

Also, My CPU and Ram usage is at 99% the last couple of days.

I am running a Intel Core I7 8700 @ 3.2 GHZ
w/ 16GB Ram.

thanks for your help

How many cams? What bit rate, how many FPS?

Typically, you are better off dividing the cams between the HD's instead of moving files around.
Example:
Cams 1-6 record to drive D: Cams 7-13 record to drive E: and so on. That way a drive dies, you have at least some of your recordings intact.

1) make sure you have the correct intel video driver, make sure it did not get updated by windows.
2) check the BI status (three bar button) and look at the clip storage, if you see any red you have a problem.
3) never allocate more than 95% of the disk space to BI.
4) allocate disk space the way Looney2ns said. do not move files.

I checked the allocation and I did have red space. I fixed it. Hopefully it will combine the clips now.

Regarding the cams, being on individual hard drives. Can I fix this without loosing Data? If I reconfigure the camera's in BlueIRIS to use Certain Hard Drives will BI automatically move the current files? If not, can you point me in the right direction of doing this.

Driver Issue, My computer has the Intel UHD 630 22.20.16.4758 from 8/2/2017. What driver should I install?

I downloaded win64_154518.4664 but it will not install.. Says its not compatible.

BI will not move the files around for you, if you change the storage location.

 

[fediddy]

See this Wiki.

I installed win64_24.20.100.6194 and my Memory usage is at 86% 9508MB and CPU usage is 80% for BI.

I'm at a lose.. Everything was working great before.

Thank You. I understand.

if it is a driver problem, confirm it by disabling the BI hardware acceleration, set the hardware acceleration decode to NO. Reboot the BI PC. The CPU will stay high but the memory usage should drop.

1) How many cameras
2) what is the frame size ?
3) what is the FPS.

I am not using BI Hardware acceleration. Its all set to NO.

I have 22 Camera's, I have them set to 16FPS, How do I check the frame size?

 

[SouthernYankee]

Frame size can also be resolution,. like 720P 1080P, 2.1MP, 4MP,6MP,8MP.
Or look at the BI camera general setting for the bit rate kB/s ... note that is Bytes

look at this web sit for the performance of other BI PCs.

Are you using record direct to disk ?
