The functions for working with the hidden archive may be available in the Video Surveillance Monitor depending on the Operator’s permissions. Viewing the hidden archive may also be available. See also Permissions to the hidden archive.

The hidden archive functions are available for the main Server archive, Backup archive and Video Gateway archive. See also Archive browsing modes.

If the Operator has the permission to view the hidden archive, then the hidden archive entries are displayed crossed out in the list of videos and can be viewed the same way as the ordinary archive entries. If there are no rights, then hidden archive records are not displayed.

Right-click the archive entry and select Prohibit viewing to hide the archive record.

Right-click the archive entry and select Allow viewing to unhide the archive record.

If a video is marked as hidden, then it is recorded in the index file, which is located in the INDEX_DATA folder, named the same as the index file in the INDEX folder, but with the .data extension.

In this case the INDEX_DATA\07111916.data corresponds to the INDEX\07111916.idx index. The .data file exists if there is at least one hidden entry per hour. The .data file is removed along with the .idx file and is not changed during reindexing, as it contains the primary information. On Axxon PSIM versions older than 1.0.0, the archive is played back as usual.
