Installation and Operating Instructions
DATA LIFETIME
Data Lifetime
Use the Data Lifetime screen to enable or disable deletion of
selected video data and to select the cameras that will use Data
Lifetime deletion. From Setup Options, select Schedule, then click
on the Data Lifetime tab. The default mode setting is Disabled. To
enable Data Lifetime, click on either Select Cameras or All
Cameras.
NOTE: Programming the Data Lifetime for individual cameras
increases the time required to scan the database and to
delete expired images. Use the All Cameras selection
whenever possible. This is especially important with
multiple disks and/or external disk storage systems.
NOTE: It may not be possible to restore a tape while Data
Lifetime is cleaning the database. Avoid Restore
operations during Data Lifetime processing.
Select Cameras — Select this option to specify which camera(s)
will delete data according to your Data Lifetime settings. Click on
the Setup button. The list of available cameras is displayed. Select
a camera and then specify its Data Lifetime data duration in
number of days ranging from 1 to 199. The default setting is 14 days.
All Cameras — Select this option to specify the Data Lifetime data
duration for all cameras.
In the Start Time box, set the time for data deletion to begin. To
change the time setting, select the hour or minutes and click on the
up or down arrow to specify the desired start time.
When finished configuring Data Lifetime settings, click OK to exit
from the Schedule Setup screen.
