Configuring VSM

Configuring Archives

An archive is a recording of the feed from a camera in your VSM deployment. Configuring archives is the process of designating a camera feed that you want to record, setting parameters for the recording, and specifying a schedule for the recording. The feed includes video and, depending on the camera and VSM configuration, may include audio.

A recorded feed is called an archive. You can display archives when you need to review a video surveillance feed.

You can configure any of the following schedule types for a recording:

•Simple Schedule—Recording occurs during one or more designated time periods. You specify the start date and time and end date and time for each period.

•Recurring Schedule—Recording occurs on a weekly schedule. For each day, you can the time range or ranges in which recording occurs, and you can specify start and stop dates for the entire schedule.

•Continuous Loop—Records continuously and the system retains video for the time period that you designate.

Procedure

Step 1 Access the VSOM Operations Manager as described in the “Accessing Video Surveillance Operations Manager” section on page 3-5

Step 2 In the VSOM Operator page, click the Admin link, which appears near the top left of the page. (see Figure 3-60).
