Archiving
With the archiving feature, you are able to keep recordings for
as long as required, limited only by the available hard disk
storage capacity. By default, images received from cameras
are stored in a database for each camera. The database for
each camera which is configured in Database Settings (click
the [Camera Record Setting] → [Device Manager] →
[Camera Name] → [Camera Settings] window) is capable of
containing a maximum of 600,000 frames or 40 GB and the
oldest records in the database are overwritten. With daily
archiving, the amount of records you are able to store is
limited only by the available hard disk storage capacity.
• You can specify how many times a day the contents of the
camera database will be moved to the archiving directory.
• The archiving location for each camera is automatically
selected. Automatically selects a hard disk drive with a
larger amount of free space.
• You are able to use the browsing features for archived
images; just like you would with recordings stored in a
camera’s regular database.
