I can go back and forth to tweak the size and or time to keep numbers, but it seems obvious to me (perhaps mistakenly) that it would be a good idea to have the clip age should match fairly closely to the bvr file age range. I also record continuously to each camera local storage for at least a week. When i get the feel of things, i might add in the Dahua tripwire triggers to the mix if that seems like a good idea. I am also not 100% certain that all of the continuous is in HD (vs only during the triggered alert plus some pre-post buffers), but based on comment above, i think both high res and D1 resolution are being placed in the "New" folder under the same name as a bvr file until the space allocation causes the oldest of them to be deleted. I am not 100% sure that it is happing at this point, but I believe that my setting of "continuous + triggered" causes it to happen. How is this best accomplished? Is there a similar way to the clip calendar to see the video recordings that are available in the database/drive? I have historically set up all of my camera streams to be 24/7 for about 3 weeks, then overwrite.Ĭlick to expand.I plan on recording continuously for at least three weeks. Is there some reason that I would want to only have alerts for a few days (less than the video files)? I would think that the two file ages and the corresponding database files should all be in sync (cover the same days). If I look in the “New” folder, I see bvr recordings for over two weeks, but only see two to three days of jpg files in the alerts folder, corresponding to the calendar dots.

When I click on the calendar icon, I only see about three days of recording.

Does this mean that I should be creating two file sets in the “New” folder for each camera, one at full resolution and one at D1, recording 24/7? If so I would assume that one set of files would be much larger than the other with similar names? If so what are the names, as it doesn’t really appear to be the case when viewing the “new” folder? I have my cameras all setup as dual stream (main and sub D1), and use direct-to-disk. I need a bit of help with regards to BI Clips and Archiving setup, mainly dealing with New and Alerts.
