When records become older than the specified number of minutes, hours, or days, they will
automatically be deleted.
Note:
A database can contain no more than 600,000 records, regardless of what maximum age
has been defined.
Tip:
You will receive a message if based on the recording frame rate you have specified for the
camera NetDVMS detects that the maximum number of allowed records in the database is likely to
be reached before the end of the specified time span.
•
Clear Database... :
Click button to delete all records stored in the database for the camera in
question.
WARNING:
Use with caution; all records in the database for the camera will be permanently
deleted. As a security measure, you will be asked to confirm that you want to permanently delete
all stored records for the camera.
Records stored in archived databases will not be affected.

service is running, the button will not be available. To make
the button available, pause the
OnSSIRecording Server
service by clicking the
Administrator
window
's
Service Manager
button, then clicking the

Archive automatically when database is full:
Select this check box if you wish to automatically
archive the database when it is full.
Note:
For this feature to work, you should first enable archiving in the
Archive Setup Window
.
•
Database path:
Specify which local directory the database for the camera should be kept in.
Default database path is the path at which the NetDVMS software is installed, typically C:\Program
Files\OnSSI\ NetDVMS\
;
Example: C:\videodata
To browse for a folder, click the browse button next to the
Database path
field.
Note:
Even though it is possible to specify a path to a network drive, it is highly recommended that
you specify a path to a
local
drive. If using a path to a network drive, it will not be possible to save
to the database should the network drive become unavailable.
Tip:
If you have several cameras, and several local drives are available, performance can be
improved by distributing the databases of individual cameras across the local drives.
