Archiving
Archiving gives you the ability to archive event video files, continuous non-event video files, or both types of
files on your local or network drive. Archiving runs in the background even when the View software is not open.
At set times, it makes a copy of the video from the camera and stores it on your local or network drive. The
original video on the camera is untouched.
NOTE: Only users with a supervisor-level account can access this feature.
Before Setting Up Video Archiving
Before configuring archive settings, you will need to create a user with the role of operator and give that user
the “View Historic Video” permission. This account will let your workstation securely log onto the camera and
archive the video files.
l
To create a user, complete the steps in Adding a User Account on page 43.
l
To give a user permissions, complete the steps in Setting User Permissions on page 45.
The user you create should have an account on all cameras or camera groups where archiving will be
configured.
