Recorded files in a channel or recorder
l
If channel 3 exists prior to applying the preset and is already recording, the file will continue
recording uninterrupted unless the recording file type is different in the preset (in which case a new
file is started).
l
If channel 3 exists prior to applying the preset and is not already recording, it immediately begins
recording.
l
If no channel with index 3 exists prior to applying the preset, the channel is created and it
immediately begins recording.
Recorded files in a channel or recorder
A channel (and recorder) keeps a list of recordings in the
Recordings
section in the Admin panel. These
files remain on the system even if the channel (or recorder) configuration is changed or removed as a
result of applying a configuration preset.
Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini example
Prior to applying your configuration preset, you have channels with indexes 1, 2 and 3; each of these has
five recording files. When you apply a configuration preset that has channels with index 1 and 2 only,
you'll notice those channels each still have the same 5 recording files.
Channel
with index 3 is no longer
present, but the files are not lost!
Overwritten channel files are still available. To access and download/delete these recorded files, enter the
following into the address bar:
http://<deviceIP>/admin/channelN/archive
or
http://<deviceIP>/admin/recorderN/archive
, where N is the index of the removed channel/recorder.
For example, if a
Channel
with index 3 is no longer present, its corresponding files can be accessed
by entering the following into the address bar:
http://192.168.0.183/admin/channel3/archive
If you now create a new channel with index 3 (or load a preset that contains a channel with index 3), you'll
find it starts with five recorded files in the
Recordings
section. These are the same recorded files that
existed at the start of this example.
Furthermore, if you delete any of the recordings, you are deleting the
only
instance of those files. Using
our previous example, if you delete one of the five recordings from channel index 1, you'll find that even
after applying different presets channel 1 will have only four recorded files.
