You can configure archives using the interface in the Archive tab (under Settings). To create archives you must have the appropriate permissions.
On the base of one server you can create an unlimited number of archives.
An archive can be placed on local disks or on network disks.
To compare these types of archives, review the following table.
Local archive | Network archive |
|---|---|
| An archive can be distributed on several volumes of the server | Archive can be stored on multiple network storage devices. |
| On one logical disk for one archive you can create only one volume, which occupies either a file of a set size or the entire partition (logical disk). | Archive can be stored only as a file of a specified size. |
| An archive can contain multiple volumes, which may be in the form of a file or a partition. |
Data can be copied between archives.
You can configure archives as follows:
- Create archives.
- Configure recording of the video stream from video cameras to the archives.
Configure data replication, if necessary.
