Setting Data Aging
Data aging defines how long recorded video is stored and the quality of the video as it ages over time. In the
ACC system, the recorded image rate is slowly reduced so that recorded video can be viewed over a longer

kept, so that you have the best quality video when you need it.
The amount of data aging that is available depends on the camera you have connected to your system:
