To Obtain a Unit’s Statistics

1.Continue or start a Maintenance Session for the Rapid Eye site. Please wait until a “System Operational” message appears in the Feedback box.

2.Click the Statistics tab. There may be a delay, based on the type of connection to the site, until the Feedback box displays “Statistics received”.

3.To update the statistics, click Refresh.

Table 7–8 Storage Statistics for a Multi-Media Unit

Label	Meaning	Unit

Storage Capacity	The total disk space, on unit.	gigabyte (GB)
Daily Usage Rate	The portion of storage used in the last	percentage of storage
	twenty-four hours. For new units, or after	capacity
	clearing storage, the report of Daily Usage
	Rate can be accurate within minutes. In
	regular use, it is averaged over the latest
	7 days of activity.
Estimated Capacity	The amount of storage, based on past	day
	performance. The number may differ from
	the estimate obtained using the Rapid Eye
	Storage Estimator, due to fluctuations in the
	video signal. The estimated capacity
	diminishes if the Continuous video
	recording settings (resolution, quality, ips)
	are set to higher values and as more
	cameras are added.
Time Elapsed*	The time that has passed since the latest	day, hour, minute, second
	change to configuration or latest reboot of
	the Multi-Media unit. Can also be used to
	estimate the oldest available image*.
Percent Full	The portion of storage in use; at “100 %",	percentage of storage
	recycling occurs.	capacity
Stream	device connected to a Multi-Media unit (a	text
	camera, microphone, and so on)
Start Time	time of earliest data	UTC (universal coordinated
		time)
End Time	time of latest data	UTC
Recorded	portion of storage used by a device	percentage of data
Stream ID	n/a; for Multi technical support	integer

*Most helpful on a unit that records continuously. If a unit is off or stops recording for a while, introducing gaps in the video archive, time elapsed still reports only the oldest available video.

Other statistics about the video archive

The Recording tab shows an "Estimated Storage Capacity" in days. See Estimating Storage Capacity, p. 71.
