Encoder: Storage

This section defines where video is stored, how long it is saved and the disk threshold.

Figure: Encoder storage

Table: Storage information

Main index path	Example: C:\Video\indices\AB1.idx; normally set by Volicon Media Intelligence service to default path on main HDD
Free disk space threshold	Amount of space not to be used by Volicon Media Intelligence service, but kept free for other use; value to be 0-0.9, where 0 means no free space reserved, and 0.9 means 90% of storage location kept free
History depth	Specifies how long programs are stored; numeric value specifying how many unit intervals video will be stored; e.g., value of 30 and interval of days will store video 30 days

Table: Storages

Path	Absolute path to the storage location
MaxUsage	The maximum percentage of the total size of the storage location used by the channel
Add/delete	Add/remove storages

Table: Long-term storage (LTS)

History depth	Specifies duration of program storage; streams normally stored in local storage; if inadequate, Volicon Media Intelligence service support to configure LTS; numeric value of unit intervals video will be stored: dropdown specifying minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years; setting value to 0 means data not saved
Path	LTS storage location; typically C:Video\LTS\ if LTS is running on the same computer
Min free disk space	Minimum disk space available on archive machine before archiving; value is in Gigabytes
Slave	Specifies if this encoder is a backup encoder for another system
Master encoder name	The name of the master encoder; only relevant when backup encoder is used
Master encoder path	Absolute path to the storage location of the master encoder; only relevant when backup encoder is used
MaxGap size	The maximum gap size between files
Slave lag	Specifies how long slave will wait before starting to archive its content; setting to less than one week not recommended - may cause master and slave to archive needlessly
