Archiving Video Tips
Department policies on archiving videos vary a great deal. From
departments with no policies to departments with archiving requirements
of 30 days to 1 year to forever!
In today’s digital environment, archiving videos is much less expensive
and easier than it was a few short years ago with tape based systems. As
of this writing, 1 terabyte drives are less than $100 and will store a great
many videos from a lot of officers for years. Regardless of the actual time
frame you wish to keep your videos, we will outline below one simple
recommendation that has worked well for many departments. Of course,
you are free to modify or come up with a way that works best for your
department.
1
Decide which PC will be used for archiving.
2
Bring up the file system of that computer. On many systems that can
easily be done by holding down the key with the 4 little squares that
look like the Windows
®
logo and pressing the ‘E’ key.
3
Click on the drive letter that will store the videos and you will see the
folders currently on that drive.
4
You will now want to create a ‘New Folder’ and then give it a name;
maybe something like ‘Patrol Videos’.
5
Inside that folder create a new folder for each officer that has the 10-8
System in their vehicle. A good name for each folder would be their
vehicle or badge number.
With each officer now having a folder for their videos only, you can now
establish a policy for when they archive. We recommend that you have your
officer bring in their card or notify you when their system displays that they
have about 10% remaining. When you have their card in hand,
6
Put it in your SD card reader and bring up the file system again.
7
Go to that officer’s folder and copy the files from the SD card to his/her
folder.
