Specify the Storage Period for Recorded
Video
You can specify the storage period for video recorded on
the Storage Server.
• Specify a minimum storage period that is within the
maximum storage period. For example, if the
maximum storage period is 10 days, specify a
minimum storage period of 2 days.
• Recorded video is automatically deleted when it
exceeds the maximum storage period.
• The Storage Sever monitors available disk space for
recording video. When disk space falls below
“(Number of cameras + 1) x 64 MB” (threshold level),
recorded video will be deleted starting with the oldest
video, including video still within the maximum storage
period, until enough disk space above the threshold
level has been freed (p. 113). When this happens, a
“Delete recorded files (when disk space is low)” event
occurs.
• Video within the minimum storage period will be
deleted if enough disk space above the threshold level
cannot be freed, even if all the recorded video that has
exceeded the minimum storage period is deleted.
When this happens, a “Delete recorded files (when
disk space is insufficient)” event occurs, which
indicates insufficient disk space for the video recording
settings. Changes to the system configuration, such as
disk space, or video quality and frame rates for
recorded video, are recommended.
• To specify the minimum storage period, select the
[Ensure video is kept for at least] check box. Select the
units (day or week) of the storage period and enter the
number of days or weeks, up to a maximum of 99.
• To specify the maximum storage period, select the
[Ensure video is kept for upto] check box. Select the
units (day or week) of the storage period and enter the
number of days or weeks, up to a maximum of 99.
• Select the units (days or weeks) of the storage
period and enter the number of days (1 to 90) or weeks
(1 to 12). [Ensure video is kept for upto] is always
enabled.
