Change Video Storage Options
Setup > Recording > Recording section > VIEW DISK USAGE button.
Command Center allows you to store captured video segments in any directory you wish. Once you have chosen a directory, Command Center allows you to specify the maximum space you want to allocate for video. By default, when you choose a path, Command Center will guess at a reasonable maximum disk allocation, which you can change.
To change the storage directory,
1)From the Setup dialog, click on the Recording tab.
2)Click the VIEW DISK USAGE button.
3)Either enter the path for the video files or click the browse (…) button and navigate to the path.
4)Finally, set the amount of disk space you wish to allocate to video files in this directory.
Note: If you reduce the amount of disk space allocated to video files to a number less than that currently in use, Command Center will slowly reduce the space used as new recordings are created.
5)Click the APPLY button to apply the changes.
