Setups

Old file overwriting: This function automatically overwrites and deletes old files to secure a recording capacity. By selecting this checkbox, an old file is automatically overwritten by a new file when the remaining capacity becomes lower than the set value. If the checkbox is cleared, recording stops and an error message appears when the remaining capacity reaches the set value.

A recording is stored in multiple files. As this “Old file overwriting” function overwrites file by file, portions of a recording may be deleted file by file from the beginning.

Snapshot directory: Enter the full path of the storage location for snapshots. Click the Browse… button to browse and select the folder.

Notes

To secure a recording capacity, the "Old file overwriting" function is always active while Network Camera Recorder is running, even when no recording is carried out. Therefore, old files will be deleted if another application program uses a disk space and the remaining capacity of the drive becomes lower than the value specified on Remaining capacity.

The “Old file overwriting” function is activated for the path currently specified. If you change the path, data in the old path cannot be overwritten.

If overwriting of an old file failed, the following error message appears:

“Storage Location Manager Cannot overwrite the oldest file : cannot access the oldest file. Recording will be stopped. [file name]...” After [file name], the path and the file name are displayed.

This error message appears when the recording to be overwritten is being played back, etc.

Stop playback or delete unnecessary data, then start recording again.

3 To save the changed settings, click OK.

To close the dialog without saving the changed settings, click Cancel.
