Dynamic path selection
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 64),
you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. In the case of Dynamic Path Selection,
this is because the properties are shared by all cameras.
With dynamic archiving (see "About archiving" on page 126) paths, you specify a number of different
archiving paths, usually across several drives. If the path containing the Milestone Husky product
database is on one of the drives you have selected for archiving, Milestone Husky product always tries
to archive to that drive first. If not, Milestone Husky product automatically archives to the archiving
drive with the most available space at any time, provided there is not a camera database using that
drive. Which drive has the most available space may change during the archiving process, and
archiving may therefore happen to several archiving drives during the same process. This fact will
have no impact on how users find and view archived recordings.
Dynamic archiving paths are general for all your cameras. You cannot configure dynamic archiving
paths for individual cameras.
All properties on a white background are editable, properties on a light blue background cannot be
edited.
