Post-event Recording
Buffer (sec):
This will determine how long after the event is triggered should be
included in the event recording file. Available choices are 10, 30, 60,
120, 180, and 300 seconds.
Keep Recording Files
for (1-999 days):
The NVR server will keep recording file of specific device for the
number of days you set here. The default value is 30, and if you want
to modify it, please check the box to start configuring it. Available value
is among 1~999 days.
Specific Storage
You can assign a dedicated storage disk for a camera. By enabling this
option and assigning a specific disk, the video footages will be
recorded only to this selected disk rather than those you select on
Setup page Storage tab. Please remember to configure the
storage-related settings for this specific disk on Setup page
Storage tab after you enable this option.
Tip
How to make proper storage arrangement
In NVR 3.0 system, there are two file-deleting mechanisms you can use based on different
needs. If both rules are set, the threshold reached earlier will execute the deletion first.
1.
“Keep Recording Files for (1-999 days)” – Set this rule if you have more concern in
how long the recordings are kept, especially when you don’t want the old recordings to
stay longer in the system than a certain period.
2.
“Reserve space” in the Disk Drive List on Setup page Storage tab - If the disk
space is more critical in your system, please give an approximate value here, the system
will always reserve this amount of space to store the newer recordings.
Given that you set the Reserve space as 30G, while Keeping Recording Files setting is 5
days, certain recording file will be deleted when it has been kept on disk for 5 days, despite
that there is still plenty of available disk space.
Before setting up the rules, you can make use of a handy storage calculator provided by
ACTi to find out the estimated storage your system requires on ACTi corporate website:
