Available Actions:

Eject temporarily suspends archiving, enabling the tape device’s Eject button. If the tape device is not busy writing data, this menu selection is not required.

Archive Now displays the Manual Archive screen (tape archiving only).

10.3.2 Disk Full Behavior (via <Data Storage><<Hard Drive>> menu)

If Disk Full Behavior is set to Overwrite and the HDD is full, video continues to record, overwriting the oldest video first. Note that Overwrite refers to the internal Hi-Q disk drives, and is not available if archiving via disk array.

If Disk Full Behavior is set to Stop Recording and Archive Mode is set to Manual Only, recording stops when the HDD is full.

10.3.3 Archive Mode Settings

NOTE: Event Only and Manual Archive modes are only applicable for tape devices.

If Archive Mode is set to Continuous or Event Only, recording stops when it’s about to overwrite video identified for archival.

A message is displayed when the unit stops recording. Resume recording by selecting the menu option <Data Storage><<Hard Drive>>RECORD.

Event Only archiving is a global setting; an alarm on any camera causes archival of video from all cameras recording at that time.

10.4 Manual Archive (Tape Archive ONLY)

Manual Archive archives video from the selected camera(s) for a specified date/time, to the archive device.
