Chapter 5 Storage Settings
Two storage modes are provided: PC disk storage or Recording Server.
●
Storage Disk: Alarm-related videos will be stored in the selected disk of your PC, and you can set
the downloading time for the alarm-related videos.
●
Recording Server: After connecting the Hik IP Receiver Pro to the Recording Server, you can back
up alarm-related videos to the Recording Server by the Hik VideoPlugin. When you need a
second video verification for alarm-related details, you can view the video stored in Recording
Server by the Hik VideoPlugin.
5.1 Select Storage Disk
The pictures and videos taken by access control devices can be stored in the PC. When there are
triggered alarms, the Hik IP Receiver Pro will automatically store the alarm-related pictures and
videos in the PC, so that you can view the pictures and videos by the third-party system connected
to the Hik IP Receiver Pro. You need to select the storage disk beforehand.
Steps
Note
The videos and pictures could not be stored normally with free space less than 200 MB. Please
make enough free space to avoid storage failure. We recommend 50 GB or above.
1. Click Configuration → Storage Settings to enter the Storage Settings page.
The available storage disks of the current PC is displayed.
2. Select a disk to store the files.
3. Click Save to save the settings.
Note
The videos and pictures will be saved in default folder for 48 hours, after which they will be
deleted automatically.
5.2 Set Recording Server for Second Video Verification
A Recording Server is used for backing up alarm-related videos from devices added to the Hik IP
Receiver Pro. You can back up an alarm-related video to the Recording Server by the Hik
VideoPlugin. When you need a second video verification for alarm-related details, you can view the
video stored in Recording Server by the Hik VideoPlugin.
Before You Start
Make sure you have properly installed, activated, and configured Recording Server beforehand.
