![]() 4TB isn't a lot of storage for that many cameras if they are >=HD. This is more important if you are running Windows on the same drive or if you have other programs filling up the same drive.ĥ. When to delete ? Just before the drive gets full ! I leave a buffer to ensure BI5 doesn't overfill the drive and fall over. If you only have one drive, there is no point in moving them to another folder.Ĥ. New/Storage folders - If you have multiple drives of different sizes and speeds, then it makes sense to put BI5 NEW (And the database) on a fast drive, and to move the files before the drive is full. ![]() What resolution are the cameras ? It's no good telling you to record at 4K if your cameras can't do it !ģ. Do you already know if the cpu will cope with the cameras, or is it an assumption ? Have a look here for a similar system if you are unsure Ģ. Yes, that is a lot of questions with not much infoġ. Again, there is so much that depends on preference it's hard to tell you what to do. If you're content with say only 7 days of recordings, just keep them all in new and delete on the 7th day. I have 6TB available so I know I can safely add probably 2 or 3 more without really changing settings.ġ3 cameras will obviously fill a lot faster. I'm only about 2 weeks into my Direct to Disc revelation so my numbers are still shrinking but my two cameras are consuming about 2.9TB of space. I personally keep "New" for 7 days, and then "Stored" for 28 days before deleting. After that it will come down to doing some math on your part, number of cameras times how much a days worth of recording takes up, times how many days you'd like to keep "New". Depending on if you use the server for anything else, you might want to reserve 100GB for the OS/main partition. I'd recommend either partitioning a second drive exclusively for BI (partition, not buy another drive) or limit BI to only have most of the space. Is your 4TB drive the only drive on your server? You just want to make sure you don't let BI use all the space and then cripple your server OS. I personally want higher quality as I'm not concerned on space. The higher the resolution and fps, the faster it fills your disc. This also takes a lot of cycles off of BI too, so it's really win/win. You will likely want to configure your cameras to have a timestamp overlay however because the direct feed will be recorded, not a processed overlay done by BI. Direct to Disc recording is a must! Because my cameras support H.265 and the re-encoding by BI takes more resources, I ended up cutting my CPU usage in half and my recording clips cut in half too. 13 cameras can fill 4TB quickly.įirst thing, and I stumbled upon this a couple of weeks ago before becoming involved on this forum. Maximizing your disc space will only come over time to see what your cameras use up. ![]() We can give advice and suggestions but you are going to want to tweak. Which are different models and brands (Sony, Panasonic, Axis, Dahua) This is what leads me to believe it is an issue in BI rather than a specific camera issue, or integration with specific camera.There is a lot in there that I probably can't help with but I'll try where I can! That said, not expecting to tweak over time might have been better suited for an out-of-the-box solution and not something so custom and flexible. However this has happened at least once on all of my cameras. It will play for a bit, and then freezes.ġ Camera is a Dahua IPC-HDB3200C (Ceiling Porch) The freeze is normally around 5-10 seconds. Hard Drive: Patriot Pyro SE 120GB SATA III SSD Total Memory:16GB PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Quad Core I checked to make sure that there were no system processes scheduled during that time such as the antivirus scan or a defrag check. I also have a hard time reproducing the error, it seems to just happen randomly, but more-so overnight and in the morning. I originally thought it was just a playback error in BI, but when I exported the video it was the same. You can see that the video freezes on both cameras when triggered. (FYI I tried to embed these, but kept getting an error from Vimeo even though I had embedding enabled.) ![]()
