I am using a headless Windows 11 PC (i7-8700 with 32Gb RAM, 25oGb C SSD and 12 Tb Seagate HDD) using some 25 wired cameras - a mixture of Hikvision for security and "Chinese" for nature watching, bird boxes etc. The PC runs 24/7 and is also used for Homeseer (Home automation) and CumulusMX (weather).
Since upgrading to 5.9.9.43 in April this year, I have had repeated "New" folder overallocations. I have the New folder set to 100Gb which leaves some 60Gb free on the C drive. The New folder frequently (every couple of days) shows a size of 165Gb, effectively taking over the rest of the C drive. I have to move/delete the "new" files and repair the database to get the system to produce alerts etc again - it also stops my home automation...
I have 5 of the security cameras set to continuously record with direct to disk in one-hour segments - this should give plenty of time for files to close and be transferred to storage.
I have been in email contact with support since April and nothing has solved the issue - I appear to be going around in circles.
In addition, I am also seeing high CPU usage of 50-70%, at times going to 90% - I am using sub-streams on all cameras and direct-to-disk recording.
Can anyone give me any clues as to how I can get BI to be reliable again? There is little point in a system that decides to effectively stop my PC from working every couple of days.
While I think I have all cameras set up correctly, can anyone kindly point me to a current "idiot's guide" on how to set up the cameras? I have requested this via support to no avail. With such a guide, I can at least double-check my settings.
Thanks for any help.
