Clarification question on Combine or Cut
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2020 6:26 pm
Hi gang,
New user here, I am currently using the trial version to see if this will be a good option for me. I am using this for my baby monitor camera. I like to keep some days of his sleeping, tossing and turning. Even though the camera uses a SD card, that is manually too much work to sort through the 1 minute clips, combine them, etc, et to have a single video PER day.
So I am using BI to automate this for me. Camera is pointed on the crib, I have set up motion detection/triggers, etc, have tested using clips each time he moves in the crib. Working pretty well I'd say.
So my question on "Combine". I understand that if you select a number of hours that 24h is divisible by, those videos will be split accordingly. I.e. 8hours means 3 videos (theoretically).
>>I just want a single video per day. Assuming the total number of motion detected videos clips would add up to 3 hours, can I use 24hours in the setting, in which case it would create a single daily video? I don't believe the video length would even reach 500MB, so I'm not worried in this respect, although I have max set for 4GB.
This if for night time, but I may also leave it for his afternoon naps; video is B&W (via the IR lights on the camera) as the room is always made dark for his sleeps..
Thanks in advance.
If anyone else is using this for the same purpose, I would appreciate any tips on optimizing the motion detection and triggering; I believe it's ok, but hard to say w/o comparing the detected clips versus a full nighttime video to see if everything was detected.
