Setting the default archive

The default archive of a video camera is the archive to which images from a given video camera are recorded during user-initiated alarms. For each video camera one and only one default archive must be set. The first archive to which recording of a video stream from a video camera was configured automatically becomes the default archive (see Configuring recording to an archive).

To switch the default archive for a camera:

1. Select a Server object.
   The Default archives form displays a list of cameras and archives, which are marked with the corresponding colors. If archive recording to at least one archive is enabled for a particular camera, the camera is visually marked as related to its default archive.
   
2. To change the default archive for a camera, move the designator to the relevant archive.
3. Click the Apply button.
