Configuring Archives
An archive is a recording of the feed from a camera in your VSM deployment.
Configuring archives is the process of designating a camera feed that you want to
record, setting parameters for the recording, and specifying a schedule for the
recording. The feed includes video and, depending on the camera and VSM
configuration, may include audio.
A recorded feed is called an archive. You can display archives when you need to
review a video surveillance feed.
You can configure any of the following schedule types for a recording:
• Simple Schedule—Recording occurs during one or more designated time
periods. You specify the start date and time and end date and time for each
period.
• Recurring Schedule—Recording occurs on a weekly schedule. For each day,
you can the time range or ranges in which recording occurs, and you can
specify start and stop dates for the entire schedule.
• Continuous Loop—Records continuously and the system retains video for the
time period that you designate.
