Advanced configuration
The drive that has the most available space may change during the archiving process, and archiving
may happen to several archiving drives during the same process. This does not have impact on how
users find and view archived recordings.
Dynamic archiving paths are general for all your cameras. You cannot configure dynamic archiving
paths for individual cameras.
When deciding which drives to use for dynamic archiving, consider the pros and cons in the following
examples (in which we assume that the default archiving path is on drive C:drive letters are
examples only, different drive letters may of course be used in your organization):
Camera records to drive C: and archives to drive C:
If the path containing the camera's database is on one of the drives you have selected for
dynamic archiving, your system tries to archive to that drive first. Archiving takes place quickly,
but may also fill up the drive with data fairly quickly.
Camera records to drive C: and archives to drive D:
Recordings and archives are on separate drives. Archiving takes place less quickly. Your
system will first temporarily store the archive in the local default archiving directory on C:, then
immediately move the archive to the archiving location on D:. Therefore, you need sufficient
space to accommodate the temporary archive on C:.
Camera 1 records to drive C: and archives to drive D: while Camera 2 records to drive
D: and archives to drive C:
Avoid this. One camera's archiving may take up space required for another camera's
recordings. In the above example, Camera 1's archiving to D: may result in no recording space
for camera 2 on D:. The rule is: "Do not cross recording and archiving drives."
If you use several surveillance servers in a master/slave setup, each surveillance server must archive
to its own mapped location in order for archiving to work. If you attempt to archive to the same mapped
location for all the servers, archiving fails.
About archiving audio
If you have enabled an audio source (for example, a microphone) on a hardware device, audio
recordings are archived together with video recordings from the camera attached to the hardware
device. If the hardware device is a video encoder with several channels, audio is archived with the
camera on channel 1. When you have enabled an audio source, the system records audio to the
associated camera’s database. This affects the database’s capacity for storing video. You may,
therefore, want to use scheduled archiving more frequently if you record audio and video than if you
only record video.
Storage capacity required for archiving
The storage capacity required for archiving depends entirely on the amount of recordings you plan to
keep, and on how long you want to keep them (retention time). Some organizations want to keep
archived recordings from a large number of cameras for several months or years. Other organizations
may only want to archive recordings from one or two cameras, and they may want to keep their
archives for much shorter periods of time.
You should always first consider the storage capacity of the local drive containing the default archiving
directory to which archived recordings are always moved, even though they may immediately after be
moved to an archiving location on another drive. Basically, the capacity of the local drive should be at
least twice the size required for storing the databases of all cameras.
