Section - Configuration

programs.

The directory for storing the recorded video data from video channels.

The directory for storing the default and user-customized schedules for the scheduled recording of each

channel.

Directory Settings

When you turn this setting on, the video database system of this application will overwrite the oldest

data if the specified path has become full. That means it will record video data in a loop. If this setting

is unchecked, all recording will stop when the limit of the hard disk usage is reached.

Indicate the size of the hard disk that will be reserved for other Windows

®

applications (at least 300MB).

The remainder of the hard disk space will be available for recording. The more space you have reserved,

the less there will be available for your camera(s) to record to. As you move the bar to the right, more

space will be available for your camera(s) and conversely, less space will be available for your other

applications. If the recording data exceeds this limitation, the new video data will replace the oldest data

(on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis) when “Cycle Recording” has been checked.
