VIEWING DISK USAGE
There are two ways to view the amount of available disk space that has been used
to store captured video:
•
Look at the Disk bar on the right side of the status bar.
The amount of
the available disks that is full is indicated by the length of the blue bar
(see Figure 38). The Disk bar does not reflect the threshold you set on
the Disk tab—it reflects the total size of each disk. For example, if you set
the threshold to 50%, you will know you have reached that when the
Disk bar is half full.
Figure 38
This portion of the
status bar indicates
the approximate
amount of the disk
that is full.
•
Go to the Setup page and click the Disk tab.
A bar graph (refer to Figure
10) indicates how much of each disk is full.
You can also use the Disk tab to purge captured video. At the bottom of the Disk
tab are two drop-down calendars. Enter starting and stopping dates (all video
captured on or between these dates will be deleted), select Purge By Date Range,
and then click the Purge button. You can also purge video from all days by select-
ing Full Purge before you click the Purge button. The bar graph then changes to
indicate that a portion of each disk was emptied.
To automatically delete video after a certain number of days, select the Delete
Video Older Than check box and use the up and down arrows to select the number
of days.
See the “Archiving” section of the “MasterControl Configuration” chapter for a
description of other Disk tab options.
