Understanding Storage Sets

The NVR uses a feature called Storage Sets. These are groups of storage drives and cameras. By

default the NVR has one storage set - Storage Set 1. Initially the default storage set has all

detected storage devices, their media folders and cameras assigned to it.

Default Storage Set

A Media Folder is a location on a device where media can be recorded to. Media stored in these

folders can include video, audio and analytic media. You can only have one media folder per

storage device partition or storage device, depending on your storage configuration. You can

choose which media folders on devices are to be used for storage.

Video from the cameras assigned to a particular stor

age

set will record to the media folders on the

storage devices that are assigned to the same storage set.

You can easily create additional storage sets and configur

e them as required to optimize the disk

performance, as media can be recorded to storage sets in parallel.

Each storage set must have at least one assigned m

edia folder for storage. You can assign

multiple media folders and cameras to a storage set. There is no limit to the number of storage

sets you can create. It is recommended that you assign no more than 32 devices or cameras to a

particular storage set. For example, if an NVR has a 30 camera licence, you could have the

following storage set options:

2 Storage Sets

• Storage Set 1 = 15 CAMs record to first set of drive(s)

• Storage Set 2 = 15 CAMs record to second set of drive(s)

• Storage Set 1 = 20 CAMs record to first set of drive(s)

• Storage Set 2 = 10 CAMs record to second set of drive(s)

3 Storage Sets

• Storage Set 1 = 10 CAMs record to first set of drive(s)

• Storage Set 2 = 10 CAMs record to second set of drive(s)

• Storage Set 3 = 10 CAMs record to third set of drive(s)
