1.9 Schedule Center
The Schedule Center allows you to set up a schedule to automatically compact video events, merge
video events, and back up the system settings.
1.9.1 Compacting Video Events
The Video Compacting feature helps you to save storage space by extracting key frames from the
recorded files. After the extraction, the recorded files will be composed of key frames only. This can
significantly reduce the file size. The Video Compacting action is enabled on a specific weekly
schedule.
Note:
1. The audio files cannot be compacted.
2. If a file is in playback when it is supposed to be compacted, the compacting will not occur. The
compacting will be started the next time when the GV-System is scheduled to compact video
files.
3. Compacting the recorded files to key frames only will affect the smoothness of the playback, but
will not result in data loss since key frame contains the complete image and only the intermediate
frames between key frames are deleted.
Setting up a Compacting Schedule
1. Click the Schedule button, select Schedule Center and select Compacting Video Events.
