Configuring Storage

66 VideoEdge NVR 4.4 Installation and User Manual

storage set which is older than the maximum retention period. If you do not set a maximum

retention period for a camera, all media for this camera may be deleted to free up storage space,

as the NVR will prioritize saving the media stored for cameras up to their maximum retention

period. The oldest media is deleted first, minute by minute, until the free space limit is reached. If

there is no media older than the retention period, the oldest media in the storage set is deleted and

an alarm is raised.

Note

The media deleted will only be the oldest media available online.

The alarm is an indication that there is insufficient storage space available for the media that you

want to store. To resolve this issue you can add additional storage devices to the NVR, decrease

the maximum retention period for camera(s) or use Advanced Storage Configuration settings to

move cameras to another storage set. To add additional media storage refer to Connecting

Additional Storage Devices on page 284.

Vaulted Media

Vaulted media is specific media tagged so it will not be deleted, until specified. Vaulted media will

not be deleted as part of the normal data culling process of media storage folders.

Use victor unified client to tag media as protected media using the Vault feature. You must have

‘Pr

otect’ permissions to set video as protected media. To allow vaulted media to be deleted you

must set it as unprotected using victor unified client and have ‘Unprotect’ permissions. For more

information refer to the Vault chapter in the victor Configuration and User Guide.

Vault Media Quota

A vault media quota is a percentage of the total storage available that is to be used to store vaulted

media only.

Over time the amount of vaulted media w

ithin a storage set will accumulate. If too much vaulted

media accumulates it may result in non vaulted media being prematurely culled when the storage

space reaches its maximum capacity. A vault media quota can be set to prevent premature data

culling as the amount of space for vaulted media is limited ensuring there is enough space for

normal media storage.

When you are assigning media as vaulted, and if

there is not enough storage space in the quota

allocated to store the media as vaulted media, a warning message opens and you cannot assign

the media as vaulted. You will need to increase the vault media quota or delete vaulted media.
