Up until today, I've avoided using alerts under the record tab of each camera. Thus, my alerts directory, and list of alert clips on the web browser have always been empty.
Today I turned the feature on (by editing the property of each camera and ticking the alert box). Now I have an entire day's worth of alerts to see in the web browser under alerts. However, the alerts directory (the one specified under global options, clips and archiving, folders) is still empty. Should I not be seeing jpgs populate that folder? Where else could they be? I've restarted the server, rebuilt the DB and yet, I cannot find a single jpg in the BI directories or NAS. I'm confounded. Did the alerts saving mechanism change to where a JPG is no longer saved in the alerts folder?
