7 Recording
7.1 Introduction to recording
Images can be recorded to an appropriately configured iSCSI system or, for devices with an
SD slot, locally to an SD card.
SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times and temporary recordings. They can
be used for local alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording.
For long-term authoritative images use an appropriately sized iSCSI system.
Two recording tracks are available ( Recording 1 and Recording 2 ). The encoder streams and
profiles can be selected for each of these tracks for both standard and alarm recordings.
Ten recording profiles are available where these recording tracks can be defined differently.
These profiles are then used for building schedules.
A Video Recording Manager (VRM) can control all recording when accessing an iSCSI system.
The VRM is an external program for configuring recording tasks for video servers.
7.2 Storage Management
7.2.1 Device manager
An external Video Recording Manager (VRM) system for the unit is configured via the
Configuration Manager. The
Managed by Video Recording Manager software box is only an
indicator; it cannot be changed here.
If the
Managed by Video Recording Manager software box is checked, you are not able to
configure any further recording settings on this page.
7.2.2 Recording media
Select a media tab to connect to the available storage media.
iSCSI Media
To use an iSCSI system as the storage medium, a connection to the desired iSCSI system is
required to set the configuration parameters.
The storage system selected must be available on the network and completely set up. It must
have an IP address and be divided into logical drives (LUNs).
1.
Enter the IP address of the required iSCSI destination in the iSCSI IP address field.
2. If the iSCSI destination is password protected, enter the password into the Password
field.
3. Click Read .
– The connection to the IP address is established.
The Storage overview field displays the logical drives.
7.2.3 Activating and configuring storage media
Available media or iSCSI drives must be transferred to the Managed storage media list,
activated, and configured for storage.
Note:
A iSCSI target storage device can only be associated with one user. If a target is being used by
another user, ensure that the current user no longer needs the target before decoupling that
user.
