1

The Ring field

Sets free disk space; when the limit is reached, the earliest recordings will be deleted on loop (see General information on video archiving). If 2 two or more disks are in use used for video archiving, archiving on current disk is performed till there is FreeMbCritical of free disk space (1000 Mb MB by default, see the info on the key in Registry keys reference guide).

Free space set by the Ring parameter is used for recording temporary files. This means that when the limit set by the Ring parameter is reached, the maximum size of the temporary file is Ring (registry key FreeMb). Video can contain less frames than set by the Frame count parameter.

Note. Old recordings may get deleted before the remaining disk space reaches the specified value if the disk space is less than 15000

Info
titleNote
 Setting the non-zero value to the Recording time parameter does not exclude disable the Frame count parameter. If the values for both parameters are set, then the file recording will be performed in accordance with the value which comes first. For instance, if the value of Recording time is equal to 10 seconds and Frame count is equal to 500 frames (by default) and in ten 10 seconds the fragment consists of 80 frames, then 80-frame file is will be recorded.
