Classic mode Evidence collection mode
When the storage on which
you are recording becomes
full The system deletes oldest
recordings to make room for
new recordings. The system stops saving new
recordings and keeps the oldest
recordings.
When you delete a device in
the Management Application
The system deletes all
recordings from the removed
device.
The system keeps all recordings
from the removed device.
Playback in XProtect Smart
Client
If you have removed the device
from the Management
Application, playback is no
longer possible in XProtect
Smart Client because the
system deletes recordings from
the device when you remove it.
Even if you have removed the
device from the Management
Application, playback is still
possible in XProtect Smart
Client as the system keeps the
recordings.
Retention time
You can set and customize
retention time for your
recordings. You cannot set retention time for
your recordings as your system
never deletes recordings.
Choose a system mode that fits your system needs. Most users need the most recent recordings to be
available in their storage and should select Classic mode. Evidence mode provides an alternative in
cases where all recorded video is considered evidence and therefore must remain on your storage.
Important: Evidence Collection mode is only supported in XProtect Enterprise 2013+. If you run your
system in trial mode, only Classic mode is available.
Important: If you have upgraded from a previous version of your system, for example XProtect
Enterprise 8.1, Classic mode is the default selection in your system. You must manually change your
selection to use Evidence mode.
Language
The Management Application is available in several languages. From the list of languages, select the
language you want to use. Restart the Management Application to make the change of language take
effect.
User Interface
You can change the way the Management Application behaves. For example, by default, the
Management Application asks you to confirm many of your actions. If you feel this is not necessary,
you can change the behavior of the Management Application to not ask you again. Go to User
Interface to make changes for each action.
Examples of actions you can change:
o When you attempt to delete a hardware device, should the Management Application ask
you to confirm that you want to delete the hardware device, or should it delete the
hardware device straight away without asking?
o Depending on the system you are using, you may have a limit on the number of cameras
you can use in your system. Select if the system should warn you if you add more cameras
than the allowed number of cameras.
