How to Edit Recording Stoage

By default, all devices (cameras) are assigned to the default recording storage. You can manually remove a device from the default recording storage. However, only those devices which belong to a recording storage can produce recorded media files.

Another purpose of setting the recording storage is that you can divide all the managed devices into several recording storages, and for each storage group, you can assign several hard-disks or disk volumes (with its unique recording paths) to store media data. The live media data will be stored in the first assigned hard-disk initially, and when the available space of the first hard disk reaches the preset threshold for a reserved space, the media data will be stored in the following disk and so on. If the available space of the last disk reaches the threshold of reserved space, the recorded files in the first disk will be overwritten with the new media data. This procedure is called "Cyclic Recording".

Recording Storage Settings

Please follow the steps below to set up recording storages for a station:

a. Select the target station from the hierarchical management tree.

b. Click Configuration > Station Settings > Recording Storage Settings on the menu bar (or right- click the station on the hierarchical management tree and select Station Settings > Recording Storage Settings). You can also right-click DefaultGroup under the station and click Recording Storage Settings since all devices are assigned to the Default Storage Group by default settings.
