Note
• If you select [Delete old files and keep recording] and change the destination
recording capacity limit to a value smaller than the current capacity, the old
images will be deleted.
(Example: if you change the destination recording capacity limit to 2 GB
when you recorded images up to 3 GB, 1 GB old images are deleted.)
• You can also limit the recording capacity of individual cameras (see page 26).
[Limit the destination recording capacity] (preferences setting) and [Limit the

Operating Instructions
Note
• The drive containing the destination folder must have more than 100 MB of
free space.
• Do not move, change or delete the files and folders in the destination folder.
Doing so can cause the program to behave unexpectedly.
• The path of the destination folder must be under 128 characters in order to
prevent the system from becoming unstable.

• Recording capacity can be calculated by MPEG-4 Bit Rate (Kbps) ÷ 8 Bit x
time (second).
Example:

768 (Kbps) ÷ 8 (Bit) x 3,600 (s) = 345,600 KB (337.5 MB)
If the audio is attached, add 4 KB per second.
345,600 (KB) + 4 (KB) x 3,600 (s) = 360,000 KB (About 352 MB)
* The MPEG-4 Bit Rate is dependent on the value of "MPEG-4 Bit Rate" in
