Static Archiving
Note:
Specifying archiving locations for individual cameras is only possible if you have
not
selected the
Automatic path selection
check box.
If the
Automatic path selection
check box is not selected, a default archiving location is specified for each
camera. The default archiving directory, called
Archives
, will be located at this location.
To specify another location for the archiving directory for a camera, either click the
browse
icon
next to
the path listing for the required camera and browse to the required location, or click the default path listing to
overwrite it.
Tip:
To maximize load sharing and optimize performance, distribute archives across your available
storage space, if possible.
Note:
If specifying another archiving location than the default location , the location you specify must exist.
You are not able to create new directories as part of the process. If archiving to a network drive, the regular
camera database
must
still be stored on a local drive, i.e. a drive attached directly to the computer running
the NetDVR system.
Archives for the selected camera will be stored in separate subdirectories under the
Archives
directory at the
location you specify. The subdirectories will be named according to the following structure:
...\Archives\CameraMACAddress_VideoEncoderChannel\DateAndTime
Example: With the default archiving folder located under, recordings from an archiving taking place at 23.15
on 1st June 2008 for a camera attached to channel 2 on a video encoder device with the MAC address
00408c51e181 would be stored at the following destination:
C:\videodata\Archives\00408c51e181_2\2008-06-01-23-15
If the device to which the camera is attached is not a video encoder device with several channels, the video
encoder channel indication in the subdirectory named after the device's MAC address will always be
_1
.
Example: 00408c51e181_1.
