How To Edit Recording Groups; Recording Storage Settings - Vivotek VAST User Manual

How to Edit Recording Groups

By default, all devices are assigned to the default recording group. You can manually remove
a device from the default recording group. However, only those devices which belong to a
recording group can produce recorded media files.
Another purpose of setting recording group is that you can divide all the managed devices into
several recording groups, and for each recording group, you can assign several hard-disks (with
recording paths) to store media data. The live media data will be stored in the first assigned
hard-disk initially, and when the available space of the first hard disk reaches the preset
reserved space limit, the media data will be stored in the second disk and so on. If the available
space of the last disk reaches the reserved space limit, the recorded files in the first disk will be
overwritten with the new media data. This procedure is called "Cyclic Recording".
