What is Dynamic Archiving?
Dynamic Archiving is ideal if you have multiple drives available for archiving but do not want to worry about how much space is used on each drive. It will also ensure equal retention of archive video. Dynamic archiving is only possible when you select the Automatic Path Selection check box in the Archive Setup. Automatic Path Selection Checking the Automatic Path Selection checkbox lets you select locations for archiving for selected cameras all at once. This will divide the bottom of the window into two sections. Select cameras for which the archiving function should apply and Select drive for dynamic archives. When Automatic Path Selection is enabled, you will be able to specify archiving locations for all selected cameras in one step. In the Select drives for dynamic archives section, simply select the box next to each drive required as archives. The drive with the most available space will be used first. If you wish to add a location using its UNC path, click on the ‘Add target’ b
