Change default file paths

To change any of the default file paths:

1. If you want to change the configuration path, stop all services. This step is not necessary if you want to change the default recording or archiving path.
2. Go to Options > Default File Paths.
3. You can now overwrite the necessary paths. Alternatively, click the browse button next to the field and browse to the location. For the default recording path, you can only specify a path to a folder on a local drive. If you are using a network drive, you cannot save recordings if the network drive becomes unavailable.

   If you change the default recording or archiving paths and there are existing recordings at the old locations, you must select whether you want to move the recordings to the new locations, leave them at the old locations, or delete them. Milestone recommends that you choose to move the recordings to a new location.

4. Once changes are confirmed, restart all services.
