Please show a screenshot of the storage page
Thanks
I don't think anything is wrong here. Based on the bitrates you have set on your cameras if the entire hour is kept then on average that is 1.45 GB per hour per camera or roughly 241 MB per 10 minutes per camera. So if your storage went up by 300MB in 10 minutes then that means a significant amount of recordings were not kept and the recordings are working correctly. If this is alarming then it sounds like you don't have enough storage or your cameras are set at too high of a bitrate.
Ok, thank you for reviewing. I will check the bitrate on the cameras themselves.
The NAS that I have this on also houses plex and backups - and it is alarming that I've lost so much space in so few days, so I think I need to reassess my storage situation.
I appreciate your feedback, your FAST replies, and your willingness to help.
Oh one more question, do I give up the ability to enable/disable detect, recordings, or snapshots with the way I have my configuration? I attempted to do it to only certain cameras on the GUI and it appears to do nothing - and I'm wondering if that's because I added the record: entry set in the config rather than per camera.
If so, is it safe to assume that if I add the entry under the specific camera variable that it will override the global, or should I outright remove the global in favor of the individual camera entry?
if you have a config that is the same for every camera there is no reason to apply it to each camera. There is on affect on the UI from that perspective, as long as the recordings button is enabled it can be used to turn off future recordings for that camera
Got it, thank you.
Describe the problem you are having
Recordings are enormous and are growing exponentially. In 10 minutes, it's grown 300MB.

I've used up almost 1TB in 4 days, so I've been manually deleting recordings to get them normalized. I'm also still using this as a testbed on internal cameras before I install my outside cams, so I appreciate that there's significantly more movement inside than there will be outside; however, this is still unsustainable.
What have I done wrong in the config?
