Save mode
Complete: Recordings can be stored completely within a specified period. (This period is called complete storage period.) When the complete storage period expires and the storage space is insufficient, recordings are completely deleted. If the remaining storage space is less than the threshold value:- Recording policy: stopping recording upon full recording space
- If the complete storage period expires, the system will gradually delete the recordings that exceed the complete storage period until the remaining recording space is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
- If the complete storage period does not expire, the system stops recording.
- Recording policy: overwriting earliest recordings upon full recording space
- If the complete storage period expires, the system will gradually delete the recordings that exceed the complete storage period until the remaining recording space is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
- If the complete storage period does not expire, the system will first delete recordings that have not been configured with a storage period and then earliest recordings within the complete storage period.
Set this parameter based on the site requirements.
