Hundreds of small recording files instead of 4GB files

Post by ckfjeff »

Hi there. We are transitioning our old 40 camera BI server to a new bare metal machine and I'm noticing that we have THOUSANDS of video files created every day now split between our 2 different storage arrays. I was under the impression that I had all the settings right as far as file size, etc, but I don't seem to be able to resolve the issue. I would assume that I'm missing something pretty trivial. Also, this server that I'm working on is currently in "Evaluation Mode" because I cannot re-use the key on our production server until we take the old one down. Does that limit some file size behavior?

Attached is an example of one of the cameras and its pertinent settings.
