Creating and configuring VMDA metadata storage

VMDA metadata storage stores object trajectories covered by a camera. Information that is stored in the VMDA metadata storage is used for the forensic search in an archive.

To configure the VMDA metadata storage, do the following:

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog box (1).
2. Create the VMDA metadata storage object on the base of the Computer object in the objects tree. The settings panel for the created object appears in the right part of the Hardware tab (2).
   

3. In the Disk drop-down list, select the disk for saving the archive (3).

   Note.

    The archive will be saved on the selected disk in the VMDA folder.

   Attention!

   Storing the data to the VMDA metadata storage may be very computer-intensive. The following actions are to be performed for proper system operation:
   1.Create the VMDA metadata storage object on a separate Server.
   2.Enable disk caching by means of redundant array of independent disks or OS.
4. In the Archive depth field, set the time period (in days) of storing the archive (4).
5. Select cameras metadata from which is to be saved in a created storage. To select all cameras registered in the system click the Add all button or click the Range button to go to the Add/Edit Camera objects window (5).
   As a result all selected cameras are displayed in the table (6). One can edit the list of selected cameras in the table.
6. To save the changes, click the Apply button (7).

The VMDA metadata is now created and configured.
