may cause you an inconvenience. Please delete periodically the old les and the event les which are not necessary to keep
for a long term.
In case the event is happened within 5 seconds since the recording starts, the previous recorded le is event marked
together in order to show the before-event situation. Also, in case the event is happened in 5 seconds prior to the recording
