Name Description
Free Space Amount of unused space left on the drive.
New path
Specify a new path, and add it to the list using the Add button.
Paths must be reachable by the surveillance system server, and
you must specify the path using the UNC (Universal Naming
Convention) format, example:
\\server\volume\directory\ . When the
new path is added, you can select it for use as a dynamic archiving
path.
Add Add the path specified in the New path field to the list.
Remove
Remove a selected path —which has previously been manually
added —from the list. You cannot remove any of the initially listed
paths, not even when they are selected.
Video recording
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 64),
you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. Either in order to speed up things, or
because the properties in question are shared by all cameras rather than being specific to individual
cameras.
In Milestone Husky product, the term recording means saving video and, if applicable, audio from
a camera in the camera's database on the surveillance system server. Video/audio is often saved
only when there is a reason to do so, for example as long as motion is detected, when an event occurs
and until another event occurs, or within a certain period of time.
All properties on a white background are editable, properties on a light blue background cannot be
edited. Note that all of the Video Recording properties can also be specified individually for each
camera (see "Recording" on page 90).
Name Description
Template
The template can help you configure similar properties quickly. Say
you have 20 cameras and you want to change the recording path,
archiving path, and retention time for all of them. Instead of having
to enter the same three pieces of information 20 times, you can
simply enter them once in the template, and then apply the template
to the 20 cameras with only two clicks.
Apply Template
Select which cameras you want to apply the template for. Use one
of the two Set buttons to actually apply the template.
Camera Name
The name as it appears in the Management Application as well as
in clients. You can overwrite the existing name with a new one.
Names must be unique, and must not contain any of these special
characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]
