Directory Settings:
Snapshot directory
The directory for storing the snapshot in *.bmp format from video
channels of the monitor tool and the playback tool, which is shown
on page 83.
Recording directory
The directory for storing the recorded video data from remote
video channels.
Scheduler directory
The directory for storing the default and user-customized plots
for the recording schedule of each channel.
Record Diskspace Usage Settings:
Cycle Recording
When you turn this setting on, the video database system of this
application software will overwrite the oldest data if the usage of
the database has reached your limitation. That means it will record
video data in a loop. If this setting is unchecked, a warning
message will pop up when it is approaching the storage space
limit. All recording will stop when the limit of the hard disk usage
is reached.
Reserved space
Indicate the size of the hard disk that will be reserved for other
Windows applications (at least 15%). The remainder of the hard
disk space will be available for recording. The more space you
have reserved, the less there will be available for your camera(s)
to record to. As you move the bar to the right, more space will be
available for your camera(s) and conversely, less space will be
available for your other applications. If the recording data exceeds
this limitation, the new video data will replace the oldest data (on
a First In First Out (FIFO) basis) when “Cycle Recording” has
been checked.
Alert Sound
You can load a custom *.wav file for the sound of alert triggering.
You can also select from the sound file in Windows.
