In the Drive Management tab, three types of media drives can be set up: Video Storage Drives, Alternate
Video Storage Drives and Audio Storage Drives. VIGIL Server must be shut down to make changes on this
Tab.
Video Storage Drives – Video Storage Drives are the
main drives where video footage is stored. If all of the
Video Storage Drives are offline, the Alternate Video
Storage Drives will be used until the Video Storage
Drives return online.
Alternate Video Storage Drives – Alternate Video
Storage Drives are emergency backup drives that are
used only if all of the Video Storage Drives are offline. If
an Alternate Video Drive is being used, the VIGIL Server
will beep and a warning message will be displayed. When
the Video Storage Drives return online, a warning
message will disappear, the audio alarm will stop
beeping, and the VIGIL Server will switch back to
recording to the main Video Storage Drives.
Audio Storage Drives – Audio Storage Drives are the
drives where audio data is stored.
