Using Volume Groups and Volumes
You can organize your device video storage by creating and managing Volumes and Volume Groups.
l
A volume is a logical directory in which you want to store video.
l
A volume group is a group of volumes to which cameras are assigned and distributed. You can
use volume groups to:
–
Separate types of storage (like internal vs. external)
–
Set different retention parameters for different sets of drives.
–
Write video to more than one volume. When all volumes are full, the system will overwrite
volume containing the oldest stored video.
