Event Recording Settings
As opposed to the general log files, which contain information about activity on the surveillance
system itself, event log files contain information about registered events (for more information
about events, see
About Input, Events & Output ...
).
The Event Recording Settings section lets you specify where to keep event log files, and for how
long.
Event log files should be viewed using the
NetGuard-EVS
or
Viewer
:
•
NetGuard-EVS: In the Browse tab's Alerts section, select the required event, then click
the Get List button to see when the event in question was detected.
•
Viewer: Select the Viewer’s Alarm Overview control panel, then click the Events button
to view the events log.
Path
By default, event log files are stored in the folder containing the NetDVMS software.
To specify another location for your log files, type the path to the required folder in the Path field,
or click the browse button next to the field to browse to the required folder.
Days to Keep
A new event log file is created every day. Event log files older than the number of days specified
in the Days to keep field are automatically deleted. By default, event log files will be stored for
five days.
To specify another number of days, simply overwrite the value in the Days to keep field.
The current day's activity is always logged, even with a value of 0 in the Days to keep field. The
maximum number of days to log is 9999.
