Storage Parameters

The parameters in this section specify storage settings such as the location and size of storage areas that store video from your cameras.

The [StorageAreas] section of the configuration file must contain the StorageArea parameter. This specifies the number of storage areas to create, and a name for each. You can set this parameter to a comma-separated list of names, or use numbered parameters as shown below. VMS supports up to 16 cameras and storage areas. The [StorageAreas] section can also contain the parameters BaseFilePath and SizeInMB.

The following configuration creates two storage areas, each with a capacity of 20000MB, located in D:\VideoStorage\area0 and D:\VideoStorage\area1.

[StorageAreas]
StorageArea0=area0
StorageArea1=area1
BaseFilePath=D:\VideoStorage
SizeInMB=20000

The following configuration produces exactly the same result (but notice that the full path must be specified in the values of the FilePath parameter).

[StorageAreas]
StorageArea0=area0
StorageArea1=area1

[area0]
SizeInMB=20000
FilePath=D:\VideoStorage\area0

[area1]
SizeInMB=20000
FilePath=D:\VideoStorage\area1
