DISK CLEANUP

Disk Cleanup
The DISK CLEANUP feature offers removal of videos, images and logs based on
settings to insure that older recordings are deleted to make room for new recordings.
Files older than a certain amount of days will be automatically deleted based on the
selection. The default value for older files is 7 days.
DO NOT DELETE FLAGGED VIDEOS and DO NOT DELETE FLAGGED IMAGES will prevent
disk cleanup from deleting any media that have been marked with flags or comments.
ALERT LIMIT offers an alert when disk capacity is being reached. The system will send
an alert when the used disk size reaches or exceeds the limit set by the user. The
default value is 20%.
DISK CLEANUP works exclusively on the main storage only, it does not cleanup backup
storage.
DISK CLEANUP O V ERRIDE
The Disk Cleanup feature ensures that there is enough minimum available disk size for
proper functioning of the NVR. If the NVR system finds itself critically low on free disk
space and the user settings does not satisfy the minimum required disk space, the
system overrides the disk cleanup settings and starts deleting the oldest video and
images, until the minimum available disk size is satisfied. In this case an override disk
cleanup alert will be sent to the user.
