Check disk storage space

Networked VGA Grid has a finite amount of storage By default, the standalone and networked version have 3

TB of storage. This storage space holds a lot of recordings, but it can get full. It’s a good idea to monitor your

current disk usage.

If available storage is low, consider removing some unneeded recordings or setting up an automatic file

transfer with deletion after transfer. See

File Maintenance

and

File and recording transfer

.

Disk space can also be checked via the tablet interface. See Verify disk space via the tablet

interface.

To check disk storage space:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the Admin

Interface

.

 2. Login as admin or operator.

 3. Check the Internal Storage section at the bottom of the menu column. The bar will be mostly green if

there is lots of space left, or mostly red if storage space is nearly full.
