Setup
The “Setup” function provides the option to manage the file writing behavior of the camera. By
default, the camera is set to “Remove old recordings when ran out of storage space
automatically ”. By using this mode, the camera’s recording process will not be interrupted when
the disk becomes full – the oldest files will be overwritten by new recordings.
Please note that under this mode, there is a risk that important evidence may be deleted
automatically over a period of time. Therefore, as long as “recycling” mode is used, the user
should download the critical evidence files from the camera before they are erased by the
camera.
When the “Send a notification when the free storage space is lower than…” option is chosen,
then the existing files would not be overwritten by the camera and the recording process would
stop when the disk is full.
By this option, the possibility of sending notification e-mails automatically has been enabled. The
% refers to the remaining size of available storage at which the camera should send a notification
e-mail, in case such task has been listed in Event Handler of the camera. To actually make the
e-mail notification work, please go to Event Handler (See “Event Handler with Local Storage” on
page 91.) of the camera and set up the event rule where the selected trigger type is “disk space is
low ”.
