About Network Drive
VK-64/VK-16 can record videos on a drive on the network. The
drive type is shown at the head of the Drive drop-down menu
as “Internal disk: local, Network drive: network”.
About Video Recording
If disk space is not enough to cover the specified value
configured with Maximum disk space used, the retained
duration of recorded video may be shorter than the specified
period or the recording may be temporarily stopped. Please be
sure to perform sufficient tests before starting operations.
For details about disk space on the Storage Server, refer to
“Disk Space Management” (
➝
P. 58).
Windows does not allow a user who has logged in with a local
system account (used for normal service management) to add
a network drive. The Add network drive and Delete network
drive items are disabled while you are logging into Windows
with a local system account. To set the network drive, click
Stop Storage Server to stop the Storage Server, and click the
Logon Settings and switch to an account which is allowed to
use the network drive (i.e., account with Windows’
Administrator and Logon As Service privileges). Refer to P. 57
for the Logon As Service privilege.
You cannot use a UNC path or removable disk when adding a
network drive.
If you add or delete a network drive, the Storage Server
program will reboot.
Multiple Storage Servers cannot use the same network drive
simultaneously.
Single network drive cannot allocate to multiple drivers.
Internal information (thumbnails, location, zone, and recording
schedules) related to a network drive will not be lost even if
the network drive is deleted. Therefore, if you add the same
network drive later, you can restore the status before deletion.
If the selected network drive cannot be accessed because the
network is disconnected, the selected drive is powered off, or
you entered a wrong path, the following error message will
appear.
“Network path cannot be found.”
While the network drive is not operating (e.g., due to network
disconnection), video will not be recorded until the drive
recovers.
Note
To remove a network drive...
Select a network drive and click OK to delete
the selected drive from the Storage Server.
