Storage Options
You can select the storage options of both continuous
recordings and detection recordings.

•
Move

If you choose to delete old video, also configure the maximum
amount of time to keep video recording files from this camera.
Files whose start time is older than this age will be deleted in
order to free disk space for new video recordings.
Continuous recordings will be stored on the hard disk as
multiple video files. In that case, the oldest part of the
recording will be deleted first.
Compression Options
Select whether or not FortiRecorder compresses continuous
recordings.
If compression is enabled, also configure the maximum
amount of time to keep the files uncompressed. Files whose
start time is older than the specified time will be compressed.
Note:
Selecting Compress will save storage space at the cost
of video quality.
