Partitioning
Partitioning can be set for recording images from the cameras connected to the AutoDome;
this technique is similar to the partitioning often found on computer hard drives. Before
setting a partition, you must chose a Storage Medium by going to the Setting page and
clicking on the Recording Settings button. Parameters such as size and type of video
recording can be specified for each partition. Modifying these parameters leads to
reorganization, which results in the loss of stored data.
The unit requires a dedicated partition for the recordings of each connected camera. Each
partition is linked to its own encoder or camera input: camera input
Video In 1
with partition
number
01
, camera input
Video In 2
with partition
02
, etc. This assignment cannot be
modified. As a result, all numbers are always displayed in the list, regardless of whether a
corresponding partition is available or has been deleted. All four potential partitions need to
be configured in order to record four cameras.
The partitioning page lists all partitions in the table together with the number of the video
input (
Camera
), their partition name, alarm tracks, type and size.
In addition, the page provides you with an overview of the drive data; for example total
memory and number of partitions created. A pie chart indicates how much memory space is
partitioned for recordings.

Partitioning
The process must be completed for each partition to be set up on the hard drive. After
startup, you can select the total number of partitions to be set up. The setup process is then
started as often as is necessary to configure all partitions. To create a partition, do the
following:

The maximum number of partitions is predefined and corresponds to the number of video
inputs on the unit.
