8.6.1 Manually or dynamically memory management
In “Ring Storage Management”, you assign the storage hard drive(s) to the individual cameras and define
individual storage capacity for each camera.
The hard disk memory can be managed dynamically or not dynamically. Using a non-dynamic hard disk
management the administrator assigns to each camera a dedicated amount of memory on the hard disks. Using
the dynamic hard disk management the MULTIEYE system manages automatically the hard disks for the cameras.
Important:
Until storage has been assigned to a camera its videos cannot be recorded!
8.6.2 Storage systems
Basically speaking, only hard drives which are built into the system should be used for storage. These drives can
be either SATA; IDE or SCSI drives.
In an IDE system, a maximum of two hard drives can be attached in addition to the operating system drive and a
CD/DVD-ROM drive.
SCSI hard drive systems have the advantage that up to 15 hard drives can be attached in them. However, such
hard drives are considerably more expensive than IDE drives.
RAID systems are also appropriate as storage systems. They have the advantage that – dependent on the RAID
level – faster writing speeds and/or greater data security (redundancy) can be attained.
NAS storage is appropriate for backups. At the present time, they cannot be recommended as primary storage
media because – dependent upon the manufacturer of the individual NAS system – problems with indexing the
videos can occur. They are ideal as backup media, though, because they can be incorporated into a network with
very little effort.
8.6.3 Initial setup: The ring storage assistent
When timer recording is activated for the first time, the dialog window “Ring Storage Assistant” appears.
First you have to determine the management of the hard disks. Best solution is always:
· One hard drive for the operating system and programs
·
One hard drive for evaluated videos and data
· All other hard drives for video recording
