Setting Data Aging
Data aging defines how long recorded video is stored and the quality of the video as it ages over time. In the
ACC system, the recorded image rate is slowly reduced so that recorded video can be viewed over a longer
period of time while still making room for new recordings. You can adjust how long the full image rate video is
kept, so that you have the best quality video when you need it.
The amount of data aging that is available depends on the camera you have connected to your system:
l
For JPEG2000 or JPEG compression cameras, data aging is available at three rates:
l
High Bandwidth

l
Quarter Image Rate
keeps 1/4 of the original recorded data so that you can still see older video.
l
For H.264 cameras that support data aging, data aging is available at two rates:
