About archiving locations

The default archiving folder (C:\MediaDatabase) is located on the system server. You can change the default archiving folder to any other location locally, or select a location on a network drive to use as the default archiving folder. In the archiving folder, separate subfolders for storing archives for each camera are automatically created. These subfolders are named after the MAC address of the hardware device to which the camera is connected.

Because you can keep archives spanning many days of recordings and archiving may take place several times per day, further subfolders, named with the archiving date and time, are also automatically created.

The subfolders are named according to the following structure:

...\Archives\CameraMACAddress_VideoEncoderChannel\DateAndTime

If the video encoder does not have several channels, the video encoder channel will always be _1 (example: 00408c51e181_1).

Example: an archiving at 23.15 on 31st December 2012 for a camera with the MAC address 00408c51e181 attached to channel 2 would be stored:

C:\MediaDatabase\Archives\00408c51e181_2\2012-12-31-23-15
