Archiving

Overview

The NVR’s Archiving feature allows you to save to and retrieve video from long term storage in the

form of a dedicated Network Attached Storage (NAS).

Note

Network Attached Storage devices may require pre-configuration before they can be used for

archiving tasks. Refer to your products Installation and User Manual for more information.

Archiving is a server side function which utilizes the NVR’s network bandwidth, disk I/O and CPU

resources which will need to be taken into account during installation and operation. The NVR can

only archive video, audio can not be archived.

Archiving of video can either be carried out manually or automatically. Manual archiving can be

initiated using

victor unified client, the selected video is immediately written to the archive. A

journal entry is created on completion stating whether the archiving task was successful.

Note

If errors are returned as a result of a manual archive requests, they only relate to issues that were

detected during the queuing of the request.

Automatic archiving is configured using the NVR Administration Interface and allows you to

archive video from selected cameras during scheduled times of the day. Scheduling times are set

in one hour periods throughout the day, Monday through to Sunday. Video is written to the archive

in defined periods of archive availability allowing you to manage CPU load on your NVR. Should

archiving fall behind an alarm is generated.

Archiving transfer rates can be limited using the Archive Bitrate Cap to minimize any impact on

you

r network setup. The Archive Bitrate Cap governs the transfer rate for both manual and

automatic archiving.

Video is archived in a Common Internet File System o

r CIFS (also known as Server Message

Block or SMB) file structure organized by camera and date and written in an open format allowing

playback in 3rd party media players. Additional configuration data such as credentials, domain and

server IP Addresses are entered using the NVR Administration Interface.
