The percentage that is already allocated for the other cameras is indicated above the field – for example, “33%
in use by other recorders.” You can choose to allocate as much of the remaining disk space to this recorder as
you wish. For example, if 33% of the total available disk space is already allocated to the other recorders, you
could choose to allocate an additional 60% to this recorder. This would mean that 93% of the disk space is
allocated to all the recorders together. The sum of the
Size on Disk values of all the recorders cannot exceed
98
.
Note: To modify the allocation of the other recorders, navigate to the
Camera
configuration screen of each
recorder and modify the value in the Size on Disk field there.
Note: To reset all disk allocations to their default values, in the
Camera Summary
screen, click Set
Recording Disk Size to Default .
3. If you want to record linearly, select Write Protect . The Warn When ____% Full field is added to the
screen. .
Figure 113: Warn When ____% Full field
If Write Protect is selected, recording continues until all the allocated disk space is full. To restart recording,
you must manually erase the existing recordings (see Erasing Recorded Video , page 113).
If Write Protect is not selected, recording follows the FIFO model: when the disk allocation is full, the
earliest recordings from this camera are erased to make room for new recordings. Skip to step 5.
4. In the Warn When ____% Full field, specify whether you want the Video Gateway to send warning
messages via e-mail about the availability of storage space, as follows:
Value Description
0 No warning messages are sent.
1 – 99 A warning message is sent when the disk space reaches the threshold defined in this field
(e.g., “90” means a message is sent when the disk space is 90% full). An additional
message is sent when the disk space is entirely full and recording has ceased.
Note: Warning messages are sent to all the e-mail recipients listed in the SMS and
E-mail screen (see
SMS and E-mail Notifications
, page 61).
5. To modify the video quality settings, adjust the values in the following fields as necessary:
