In some cases, you might need to record videos from a single camera into multiple Archives.
For example, videos triggered by Detection Tool #1 go into into Archive #1, and videos triggered by Detection Tool #2 are recorded into Archive #2.
For more user convenience, С-Werk offers an option to visually combine records from different Archives.
To view a combined Archive, you need:
- Go to the Archive selection menu (see Selecting an Archive).
- Check boxes for the Archives to be combined.
Records from all checked Archives will appear on the timeline. You can apply any system function to a combined Archive.
Note
Clicking on a particular Archive brings you to viewing videos from this Archive only.
Note
If you select multiple archives for a particular camera, and then switch all the layout to Archive mode, all cameras will be set to multi-archive display.
When combining multiple streams from the same camera into one Archive, the highest quality stream is prioritized.
For example, if
- a lower quality video stream is permanently recorded into Archive #1,
- and a high quality video stream is recorded into Archive #2 by VMD,
then the combined Archive will consist of high quality motion-triggered records and low quality "other" videos.
