when new recordings are moved to the archives. You cannot change this
setting.
Send email
on archive
error
Select check box if XProtect Basis+ should send an e-mail alert if archiving
fails, for example because the disk is full.
Note: In order to be able to use e-mail alerts, the e-mail alert feature must
have been set up in the E-Mail setup window (see page 70).
Daily
archiving
times
Lists specified archiving times. Archiving will take place every day at the
specified times. Archiving once a day will normally suffice. However, if you
expect the daily database per camera to exceed 40 GB or 600,000 records,
you should specify additional archiving times. To add an archiving time to the
list, specify the required time in the Time to add field, then click the Add
button. There must be at least one hour between each archiving time. To
remove an archiving time from the list, select the archiving time to remove
from the list, and click the Delete button.
Note: While archiving takes place, cameras for which archiving applies will
briefly stop recording, one after the other. Although the pause is very brief
(typically less than a second), it is therefore recommended that you specify
archiving times that are outside periods in which you expect to record
important video.
Time to add Lets you add an archiving time to the Daily archiving times list. You specify
the required time by selecting the hour, minute and second values
respectively, then clicking the field’s up and down buttons to increase or
decrease values. You may also simply overwrite selected hour, minute or
second values.
Add Adds the archiving time specified in the Time to add field to the Daily
archiving times list.
Delete Removes a selected archiving time from the Daily archiving times list.

section lists cameras for which archiving is possible. The section lists all
enabled cameras, i.e. cameras which, depending on their individual settings,
may transfer video to the surveillance system. The section also lists the path
to the archiving directory for each camera.
Tip: If a particular camera is not listed, it is highly likely that the camera
