Using IP surveillance Software (continued) Monitor Program (continued) Directory Settings: Snapshot directory The directory for storing snapshots in *.bmp format from video channels of the monitor and playback programs, which is shown on page 85. Recording directory The directory for storing the recorded video data from video channels. Scheduler directory The directory for storing the default and user-customized schedules for the scheduled recording 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 specified path has become full. 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 files in Windows. 86
