Pearl User Guide Recorded files
Recorded files
Recordings you make of channels or with recorders are stored on the system's internal hard drive. Pearl has a
finite amount of available hard drive storage space. Though it is enough space to hold a lot of recordings, it
will eventually run out of space if recordings are added but never removed. When this happens, the system
deletes the oldest recorded files to make room for new recordings.
You can use a variety of methods to automatically transfer files from the system to local network storage.
Alternatively you can manually select individual recordings to transfer or delete.
This section discusses the following manual file management topics.
