Buffalo Surveillance Server 352
Field Meaning
When storing data, how
many files will be kept
in a directory?
Data is stored in files in the Vault. More files enable you
store more data per unit of media, but more files also slow
down Information Repository performance. Choose a value
that meets but does not exceed your needs. The following
table details the number of files that correlates with each
value.

Where will media be
stored by default? "Default location" defines where, by default, media will be
stored and managed. Wherever in Buffalo Surveillance
Server there is an option to use a default location, Buffalo
Surveillance Server will use the default location.
Where can temporary
files be stored? This setting enables you to define where the working
cache will be located. The default location is '<install-dir>/
WorkingCache'.
When Buffalo Surveillance Server is processing files, it
sometimes creates temporary files. These enable Buffalo
Surveillance Server to work more quickly and efficiently
and are especially important when you are clipping video
files. Temporary files are kept in the "working cache."
If you do not want to use the location chosen by Buffalo
Surveillance Server, you can chose an alternate location
by clicking
[ < Browse ] .
This setting can be changed with Vault Admin >
Vault Properties > Devices at a later time.
How much disk space
can be used for storing
temporary files? This setting defines how much working cache space
Buffalo Surveillance Server will be permitted to use for
temporary files.
