Using IP surveillance Software
Directory Settings:
Snapshot directory
The directory for storing the snapshot in *.bmp format from video channels of the
monitor tool and the playback tool, which is shown on page 84.

Recording directory
The directory for storing the recorded video data from remote video channels.

Scheduler directory
The directory for storing the default and user-customized plots for the recording schedule
of each channel.

Record Diskspace Usage Settings:
Cycle Recording
When you turn this setting on, the video database system of this application software
will overwrite the oldest data if the usage of the database has reached your limitation.
That means it will record video data in a loop. If this setting is unchecked, a warning
message will pop up when it is approaching the storage space limit. All recording will
stop when the limit of the hard disk usage is reached.

Reserved space
Indicate the size of the hard disk that will be reserved for other Windows applications
(at least 15%). The remainder of the hard disk space will be available for recording.
The more space you have reserved, the less there will be available for your camera(s)
to record to. As you move the bar to the right, more space will be available for your
camera(s) and conversely, less space will be available for your other applications. If the
recording data exceeds this limitation, the new video data will replace the oldest data
(on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis) when “Cycle Recording” has been checked.

Alert Sound
You can load a custom *.wav file for the sound of alert triggering. You can also select
from the sound file in Windows.
