The Recording preferences page is displayed for each encoder. This page only appears if a device is assigned to a VRM system.

Note: When you configure the automatic recording mode, you cannot configure any settings here.

VRM Settings tab, 26

Mode

Select the required option.

All

The VRM system discovers all available and configured iSCSI targets and assigns the available capacity automatically. If a target fails or memory capacity is used, another target is selected automatically. In this case, you cannot enter targets on the tab.

Restricted

Recordings are stored primarily to the targets entered here. Primary target and secondary target are used equivalently.

If no disk space is available on either of the targets entered, other storage blocks of the VRM system are used until there is space available again on the entered targets.

Failover

Recordings are saved only to primary target. If it is not possible to save to this target, the recording will be saved to the target entered under secondary target.

A failure situation is reached if the primary target does not provide storage blocks due to whatever reason: system down, network error, no capacity left.

You can leave the second list empty. In this case no failover is possible but the number of required iSCSI sessions is reduced.

Preferred

Recordings are saved to the entered targets in the specified sequence. For this, enter both a primary and a secondary target. The secondary target is only used while the primary target has no storage capacity available.

Only if these targets are not available, the recordings will be distributed across other targets.

Primary target

Select the entry for the required target, if you have selected a setting other than All under

Mode.

Secondary target

Select the entry for the required target if you have selected Failover under Mode. If you have set Restricted, Failover, or Preferred, entering a secondary target is optional. Restricted and Preferred without a second target are identical.

12.12Retention time tab

Main window > Cameras tab > Select a camera

Note: If the Cameras tab is not displayed, enable it:

Enabling the Cameras tab, 13

You can specify the retention time for recordings for each camera:

Maximum retention time (days)

Recordings are automatically deleted as soon as this value and the minimum retention time are exceeded.

The maximum retention time is valid also for already existing recordings.

The value O means infinite. In this case VRM Server tries to keep the recordings according to the minimum retention time, for example 10 days. But if enough storage is available, older recordings can exist, for example 20 or more days.
