3.3.4 Storage Manager
This chapter describes the Storage Manager menu. This menu gives you the ability to
manage the volumes the movies are recorded to. It provides detailed information about every
volume and the recordings stored on it. It allows adding or deleting cameras from a certain
volume, disabling volumes etc.
The following topics are discussed:
 Adding, configuring & deleting a volume

You must be very careful while performing any manipulations of volumes as this may
erase all the footage from the cameras assigned to the volumes being manipulated.

3.3.4.1 Adding, configuring & deleting a Volume
Since QGuard supports multivolume recording, several volumes can be added to one server.
To enter the Volume Configuration Wizard, click the Edit or Add Volume link/button in the
Storage Manager screen. The Volume Configuration Wizard consists of three tabs with easy
to follow instructions.
The following Volume Configuration Wizards tabs are described:
 Location
 Cameras
 Storage Parameters
You cannot delete all volumes added to your system. In case only one volume is left,
the Delete link will be disabled. Furthermore you can’t delete a volume if there are
cameras assigned. First reassign all cameras to another volume.
To delete a volume, click the Delete link. Click OK on the screen that pops up.
