minutes. In addition to the quotas you specify, Blue Iris also attempts to automatically enforce

a rule of maintaining at least 1GB free on the hard drive in order to prevent failed recordings.

By default, Blue Iris does NOT use the Windows Recycle Bin when deleting clips. It has been

found that doing so greatly adversely affects performance when many clips are being deleted

and the recycle bin itself is at capacity. However, the advantage of the recycle bin is that you

may easily recover recently deleted files.

A clip may be protected from automatic storage or deletion by right-clicking it and selecting

Protect. You may make this the default for all new clips by selecting an option on the camera's

Record Properties

(See 7.4) page. To protect an entire folder, right-click in the Clip List and

select the option Protect entire folder.

Web archival

Select Use FTP to backup clips to the Internet to enable Web archival of your clips. Select an

FTP server that you preconfigured on the Options/FTP servers

(See 11.) page. Leave the Folder

box empty to simply use the default folder specified on the FTP server configuration page.

To archive a clip to the Web, right-click it and select Archive. An FTP icon will be displayed on

the clip in the clip list until it has been successfully uploaded. If Blue Iris is interrupted during a

file transfer, a partial file may exist on your server until Blue Iris is restarted and retries the

transfer. Until a clip is actually sent, you may right-click it and select Don't archive. Clips may

be marked automatically for archival via an option on a camera's Record Properties

(See 7.4)

page.
