  Charles BlevinsAug 23, 2025
  To prevent hard disks from filling up or recordings not being saved in Axis Camera Station, set the 'Maximum drive space used' under Options > General Settings > Recording Database. You can also minimize hard disk usage by setting the 'Save event in days'. Consider adjusting frame rate, compression, and image size to reduce storage needs.
