SPECIFYING THE DATA RETENTION TIME LIMIT

The time limit can be entered manually or selected from the drop-down menu lists. The data retention time is set in increments of one or more days. The viewing time limit window starts from the date of recording to the configured time limit. For example, if the time limit is set for 11 days, all video recorded on Aug. 24, 2006 can be viewed up to and including September 4, 2006. The data recorded on Aug. 24 cannot be viewed on Sept. 5. The video data recorded on Aug. 24 is not be deleted; it is just not available for viewing.

If the Administrator sets the retention time to unlimited or to a time later than the current retention time limit, all video data (if the retention time is set to Unlimited) or data within the newly set retention time limit can be viewed.

To set the data retention time limit:
