20.1 Drive Management Tab

In the Drive Management tab, three types of media drives can be set up: Video Storage Drives, Alternate Video Storage Drives and

Audio Storage Drives. VIGIL Server must be shut down to make changes on this Tab.

Video Storage Drives – Video Storage

Drives are the main drives where video

footage is stored. If all of the Video Stor-

age Drives are offline, the Alternate

Video Storage Drives will be used until

the Video Storage Drives return online.

Alternate Video Storage Drives – Alter-

nate Video Storage Drives are emer-

gency backup drives that are used only

if all of the Video Storage Drives are off-

line. If an Alternate Video Drive is being

used, the VIGIL Server will beep and a

warning message will be displayed.

When the Video Storage Drives return

online, a warning message will dis-

appear, the audio alarm will stop beep-

ing, and the VIGIL Server will switch

back to recording to the main Video Stor-

age Drives.

Audio Storage Drives – Audio Storage

Drives are the drives where audio data is

stored.
