TOO MANY FILES WARNING
Too many files
warning message
All of the recording will be logged with a database system.
Even a very short video file (such as few seconds long) will occupy as an
entry of the database.
Large number of entry will affect the performance of the database
management.
Therefore, a “Too Many Files Warning” message box is designed to provide
information to the user about the file number.
A warning message and the exact number of file will be displayed in the “Too
Many Files Warning” message box.
Invoke the message
box
The “Too Many Files Warning” message box will automatically pop up when
the number of file is excess the default value.
Or user can press the “Ctrl” “Alt” and “1” in the keyboard, do not use the “1”
key located on the Numeric Keypad, to show the message box at any time to
check the number of file in the unit.
Remove the message
box
User can close the message box by clicking the “X” icon at the upper right
hand corner.
To permanently disable the message box, user can check the “Do not appear
in the future” box and then click the “X” icon to close the message box.
Once the “Too Many Files Warning” message box is permanently disabled,
user should restart the unit (“Exit”, power down and then power up) to re-
activate the message box again.
Tip:
False alarm (including by motion detection) will generate many
small files. It is recommended to setup the unit properly to avoid
false alarm.
When the “Too Many Files Warning” is shown, user should
remove the out dated files to decrease the number of file.
Note:
The number of file is not directly related to the storage space usage
of the hard drive.
