Store no less than

Enter the value in the field

Sets the time period for keeping the video archive and audio archive from the camera

(in case of synchronous recording) on the

server. The parameter allows storing the large archive for the selected camera using the archive of other cameras.

Note.

We recommend setting the Store no less than parameter for no more than 30% of cameras in the system, as this setting is only

ADVISORY. If there isn't enough space for the archive recording, the setting

is ignored and the recording

doesn't stop anyway.

If you create more than 10 cameras

in the system, then when

attempting to set this parameter for more than 30% of the cameras in the system, after you click the Apply button, a corresponding warning message

appears.

You can

disable it using the NotifyAbout_arch_days registry key (see Registry keys reference guide)
