Exacq Vision User Manual page 43

The system normally retains recorded video from all cameras for as long as possible, deleting the oldest video only when
required to create room for newly recorded video. Thus, it is recommended that you use the Expiration Configuration
feature only when necessary, such as when video must be deleted after a specific maximum time period as required by
law.
When using the feature, the Days of Recorded Video indicator should be higher than the greatest number of minimum
days configured for a camera in the Expiration Configuration area. For example, if you configure a camera's video to be
stored for at least 30 days, the Days of Recorded Video indicator should be at least 30 (assuming the system has been
recording video for at least 30 days). If the Days of Recorded Video indicator were lower than 30, video recording would
stop for that camera until the oldest video stored from that camera got deleted (after 30 days).
To resolve issues with video expiration, you can expand your storage capacity by adding hard drives, reducing the
minimum time that video needs to be stored, or reducing frame rates or quality settings for the applicable cameras. The
best way to determine your needs is by trial and error; allow the system to record at your desired settings and then
monitor the Storage page to ensure that the settings will meet the storage requirements.
To configure video expiration, select a camera name in the list on the left and click Add>>. (You can select multiple
cameras by pressing the Ctrl or Shift buttons.) Then select the camera name in the list on the right. You can configure two
types of expiration:

To delete video after a certain amount of time, select At Most from the Type drop-down list and use the
arrows to select the maximum number of days the video should be stored.
NOTE: If an At Most setting is configured for a camera, the camera cannot be selected for archiving.

To save video for a minimum amount of time, select At Least from the Type drop-down list and use the
arrows to select the minimum number of days the video should be stored.
Repeat for each camera that requires expiration rules. To remove expiration rules, select one or more camera names in
the list on the right and click <<Remove. Click Apply when finished.
