videos saving on destop

Post by Peter »

Hello all.
I have just got a weird situation with the saving of my videos that has never happened before, I will explain more below,
Blue has been running without any problems for a number of years until a week ago, when it suddenly started to fill the Desktop page with the recorded videos.
The icons for the video are covering the whole screen.
I have copied these back to the drive where I store these videos and checked the camera storage details and they are correct, i.e. a separate drive in the PC.
I then deleted all the videos on the desktop, but as soon as a video is created ( by movement in any camera) the video gets put on the desktop.
I do not mind this but it is very annoying as I cannot check things on windows very easy.

Has anyone had this problem which is only happened recently, perhaps a update ot some this has caused this , maybe a config altered, but I an unable to find it.
Any thoughts will be accepted.

Many thanks
Peter

Have you looked at your storage settings to confirm the location of all of the folders! Is it one particular camera, if so check the record tab in the settings for that particular camera and confirm what is set for the "Folder" fields, this field can be set to differently for each camera. Screen captures are really helpful and save a lot of time with guessing what you have possibly done!
