Archive Duration (sec)

Length of recorded file. Range 0–43200. Default = 0 (implies

 

manual Start/Stop). Maximum = 43200 (12 hours). Set to zero for

 

continuous recording. This will auto-select Maximum. For best

 

results and usable video, set the archive duration to 10 seconds or

 

more.

 

Note: Archive Duration and Archive Maximum File Size are

 

mutually exclusive. The archiver uses the first parameter that

 

exceeds its configured threshold. Also note that the values you set

 

are approximate; the actual Duration or File Size may vary slightly

 

depending on bit rate, content, and other factors.

 

 

Archive Maximum File

The maximum size file that can be recorded. Range 0–4294967295

Size (bytes)

(approx. 4 GB). Default = 0 (implies a maximum file size of 4 GB).

 

If set to zero, the maximum file size is auto-selected.

FTP Server Enable

1–8 servers are available for FTP. When more than one server is enabled, the appliance will transfer the newly recorded file to each enabled server. Since FTP transfer can be a slower process than the recording process, it is possible to overrun the FTP queue if too many servers are enabled. The server parameters are set in Configuration: FTP File Transfer > Servers.

Progressive Download

A WM Appliance configured with a hard drive also supports progressive download. Progressive download (or On Demand Playback) is a method of delivering audio and video that involves caching and playing the downloaded portion of a file while a download is still in progress via FTP. Progressive download is "bursty"—unlike streaming video which is delivered in a metered and continuous flow to end users—and there is also a suggested
