【Total Size(M)】:Display the total size of the disk.

【Free Space(M)】:Display the total free space of the disk, which is the

maximum space can be assigned for recording.

【Allotted Data Package】:Display the number of data package, which has been assigned for recording before.

【Residual Data Package】:Display the number of data package that can be assigned for recording.

【

Residual Data Package】 = 【Free Space(M)】/256

【New Data Package】:Select the number of the data package that user want to create for recording.

1.2.1 Create Package

Hybrid NDVR Server Manual

Select the number of new data package

User can select the number of data package for each disk in the drop-down list. Then user can press button to create data

package and index for recording. After that, software could calculate the rest space automatically.

Note:

Please format the whole disk thoroughly before using it to be recorded.

Each package for recording (Recdata****.mp4) is 256MB, and it is associated with its index file (RecIndex****.inx). They must work together, or user can‘t playback recording data correctly. Also, user can‘t modify them unless deleting them together manually.

By default, disk C and Disk D are used for system application, so our software will not use it (default: 【New Data Package】= 0) unless you change it.

Since windows will pop up information to warn when the disk has low space, by default, our software will leave 3 packages (about 256*3=768 MB) for disks (except C and D) to avoid that information. That is to say, the default value of disks (except C and D):

【

New Data Package】 = 【Residual Data Package】-3

Software will cost much more time to create data package and index for FAT32 system than NTSC system.

【Note】: Each record drive must be less than 2.5T, or software will have

2.2.2 Group Setup

Note:

If you set a camera into several groups, only the last setup is available.

【Selected Group】Select group number.

Hybrid NDVR Server Manual

【Record sub stream】Select the record sub stream enable or not, if you select enable, you can view the sub stream in the CMS client client Re-search.

The sub stream is main effect in searching the record file in client‘s re-search by the narrow bandwidth.

【Selected Cameras】Select the cameras that the work mode of which are the same in a group. Cameras include local board cards and IP modules.

【Pre-Event Record】Select the start time of record when there is an alarm. When Hybrid NDVR system is in Motion Detect mode or Sensor Detect mode, it can record video before the alarm is trigged.

【Post Record Time】Select the end time of record when there is an alarm. When the system is in Motion Detect mode or Sensor Detect mode, it can record video after the alarm ended.

【Record Days】This section allows users to determine how long the record data of each camera should be kept in the system. The maximum duration for on-line storage is 120 days. Users can select an exact number of days, or select ―auto‖ mode. If select ―auto‖, system will auto-delete the recorded data of the earliest days when there is no enough space.

Note:

If there is no enough space of HDD, system will delete the record data according to the length of saving time of each camera. E.g.: there are four cameras, the 1st camera is set to say for 2 days, the 2nd camera saves for 5 days, the 3rd camera saves for 10 days, and the 4th camera is set ―auto‖ mode. When the space is enough, the 4 cameras‘ record data will be saved in HDD. When there is no enough space, system will delete data automatically. If the 4th camera‘s record data has been saved more than 10days, system will delete the 4th camera‘s data. If the 4th camera‘s record data has been saved less than 10 days, but the 3rd camera‘s data is more than 10 days, system will delete the 3rd camera‘s data. So, even if you set the 3rd camera‘s record data to be saved for 10 days, the data that is saved less than 10 days become possible. System will delete the record data from the earliest date.
