AXIS Camera Station - How to...

drive from becoming full a maximum disk capacity
should be set. Additional server and network disks can be
added for security and more space.
1. Click on Add server disk or Add network
disk.
2. Enter the path of the disk and click OK to
save.
3. Select the newly added disk.
4. With the slidebar set the maximum disk
space to be used by AXIS Camera Station.
To change the location of where recordings will be stored, click Edit and enter a new directory.

is no room left in the allotted drive space.
