The directory for storing snapshots in *.bmp format from video channels of the monitor tool and playback
programs.
The directory for storing the recorded video data from video channels.
The directory for storing the default and user-customized schedules for the scheduled recording of each
channel.
Directory Settings
When you turn this setting on, the video database system of this application will overwrite the oldest
data if the specified path has become full. That means it will record video data in a loop. If this setting
is unchecked, all recording will stop when the limit of the hard disk usage is reached.
Indicate the size of the hard disk that will be reserved for other Windows
®
applications (at least 300MB).
The remainder of the hard disk space will be available for recording. The more space you have reserved,
the less there will be available for your camera(s) to record to. As you move the bar to the right, more
space will be available for your camera(s) and conversely, less space will be available for your other
applications. If the recording data exceeds this limitation, the new video data will replace the oldest data
(on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis) when “Cycle Recording” has been checked.

Display Options
In the video displaying frame of each channel, there are two status bars. The upper bar contains “Location” (channel
number + camera name) and “Remote Time.” The lower bar contains “Connection Time” (Day:Hour:Min) and “Recording
time” (Day: Hour:Min). All of them, shown in the figure below, can be enabled or disabled here individually for the
status indication. Apply to full screen mode can also be turned on here. Once it has been checked, the status bar in
each channel showing date, location, connection, and recording time will be shown in both display frame mode and
full screen mode.
