To use network disks as an archive, set UNC paths to them in INTELLECT™. Details of working with network disks in INTELLECT™ installed as a Service are given in Using network disks of INTELLECT™ installed as a Service section.
While working in Windows Vista and Windows 7 OS consider the following features:
When connection with net disk fails, video is not recorded (for 30-60 seconds) and displayed. This is due to filesystem features. |
The archive from various Servers must not be recorded to one network storage as the archive index will be violated. |
Files are created/deleted quite slowly on current NASes. This can cause dropped frames or gaps in the archive, especially when loop recording is performed. To avoid this, use TempWritingDir and MpegWritingQueueSize or MJpegWritingQueueSize registry keys (see Registry keys reference guide). |
To add a network disk by specifying the UNC path, do the following:
Specify the path to a network disk in the appeared line in the Disk column. UNC path is set in \\server_name\share_name format where server_name is the name of file server and share_name is the network name of the general folder.
If there are any problems with storing video/audio archive at network disks, then use the net use command of Windows command prompt: net use disk_name: \\server_name\share_name /delete net use disk_name: \\server_name\share_name /USER:user_name Where user_name is a user that has rights to store to selected network disk; disk_name: is the name of the disk drive. This is to be performed after every Windows OS restart. Details about the net use command are in Microsoft official documentation (www.microsoft.com). |
A network disk by specifying the UNC path is now added.
