Surveillance page also displays the current settings for any video camera attached to your network. For example, you might have video cameras on a summer

house in one geographic location and your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d is in another geographic location.

If your video camera is already listed, you can modify its settings. To manually add a video camera, reference the instructions below.

Manually Adding a Video Camera

Follow the instructions below to add your video camera, set a retention policy for your saved recordings, and schedule your video surveillance recordings.

1. On the Video Surveillance page click Add Video Camera.

2. In the Video Camera Information section, enter the following about your video camera:

If your video camera is automatically discovered, information like Name and Manufacturer are already filled in for that video

camera. These settings can be modified. If you modify these settings, you must make the same changes to the associated settings on

your camera's configuration page.

Name

Camera Login Password

IP Address

HTTP Port A camera that is automatically discovered will periodically receive configuration values, including the HTTP port number, from the

actual camera. If you change the HTTP port number on a camera's configuration page, but do not change it on the Video Surveillance page, that

camera will be offline on the Video Surveillance page until the camera receives the updated value. If you manually added a camera and changed

its HTTP port number on the camera's configuration page, the camera will be offline on the Video Surveillance page, and you will have to delete

the camera and add it again with the updated HTTP port value.

RTSP Port

3. Select a Destination Folder for the video camera recordings. The recorded video files are saved to this folder, and the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d

automatically organizes your saved video recordings into folders by video camera name. Within each video camera name folder are other folders that

organize your video camera's recordings by date. For example, if you set the destination Share to Media/Videos and the name of your camera is

HomeDoor, a recording made on July 17, 2010, can be found at Media/Videos/HomeDoor/20100717.

4. Click Camera Configuration to link your video camera's software.

If you want to change the camera resolution and frame rate, you must change them on your camera's configuration page.

5. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Cancel to discard your unchanged settings.

The video camera displays in the table. For additional setup, refer to the sections below on Retention Policy and Scheduling.

Setting a Retention Policy

Setting the retention policy determines how much recorded video you keep on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. Retention is set one of two ways:

Maximum days to save recordings:

Maximum space for recordings:

Click Apply to save your changes.

If you select Maximum days to save recordings, enter a value in days. If you select Maximum space for recordings, enter a value in gigabytes. Setting this

value too high may consume all available space, while setting this value too low may cause recordings to be deleted sooner than you would like. The maximum

space cannot exceed 90% of the total space on the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.
