Recorded files in a channel or recorder
Deleting channels and recorders on Pearl-2 and Pearl Mini
Recorded files are stored on the system based on their channel or recorder number. All files saved for
channel index 1 are in one folder, and all files for recorder index 2 are in another. When you
delete
a
channel (or recorder), you permanently delete all recordings for that channel (or recorder) even if those
recordings were made while a different preset is applied.
Applying a configuration preset with a different set of channels or recorders is
not
the same
as deleting a channel.
When deleting a channel or recorder that has recorded files, the Admin panel warns you of other
configuration presets that use the same channel or recorder index numbers. When you see this prompt,
we recommend you take a moment to look through the
Recordings
list to make sure you're okay to
proceed with permanently deleting all the recorded files.
Orphaned Kaltura resource registrations and duplicate resources
Returning the Pearl device to the factory defaults using the factory default configuration preset or
performing a factory reset does not delete the registered resource instance in Kaltura CMS. In that case,
you can reregister your Pearl device using the same resource name and take over for the resource
instance that is still registered in Kaltura, see
Reassign a registered resource
.
If you apply a configuration preset to set up a replacement Pearl device with the settings from a Pearl
device that is currently registered with Kaltura, the replacement Pearl device assumes the identity of the
registered resource. However, you risk having two active Pearl device resources with the same identity,
which can effect recording and the content that's uploaded to Kaltura for scheduled events.
To remove the risk of having two active devices with the same registered resource identity in Kaltura, we
recommend powering down one of the Pearl device resources, then disconnect it from the network and
consider performing a factory reset or applying the factory default configuration preset.
