You can configure archives using the interface in the Archive tab (under Settings). To create archives you must have the appropriate permissions.

On the base of one Server you can create an unlimited number of archives.

Attention!

We do not recommend you to operate a large single volume video footage archive. 
It's more practical to divide the archive to multiple volumes located on different hardware devices. We recommend you to create an archive with volumes no larger than 30 TB each.

An archive can be placed on local disks or on network disks. 
To compare these types of archives, review the following table.

Local archive

Network archive

An archive can be distributed on several volumes of the Server.

Archive can be stored on multiple network storage devices.

On one logical disk for one archive you can create only one volume, which occupies either a file of a set size or the entire partition (logical disk).

Archive can be stored only as a file of a specified size.

An archive can contain multiple volumes, which may be in the form of a file or a partition.

Data can be copied between archives.

You can configure archives as follows:

  1. Create archives (see Creating archives).
  2. Configure recording of the video stream from video cameras to the archives (see Configuring recording to an archive).

  3. Configure data replication, if necessary (see Configuring data replication).

You can also connect external archives — a set of video recordings with time links.
