SMP111 • Web-Based User Interface 36
Start an AdHoc Recording
A user logged on to the SMP, either at the user level or the administrator level, can initiate an
adhoc (unscheduled) recording.
NOTES:
• See Setting the Default Recording Media on page 56 within Conguration
> System Settings for more information about single and secondary storage
modes.
• If the unit is set for recording destination limiting, users do not have the option to
select a different storage location. The storage location or location are preselected
and cannot be changed from this dialog box.
• If the recording is restricted to a USB device with multiple partitions, then partition
selection within the USB drive is still available.
• Ad hoc recordings are set at unlimited time, but the user can Limit the
Duration under Recording Media Selection at a maximum of eight hours.
Start an adhoc recording from the AV Controls panel (see the SMP111HelpFile for
additional recording information).
If the unit is set for single storage mode (recordings are saved to only one storage drive),
choose a recording destination from the Recording Destination drop-down list found
in Conguration > System Settings > Recording Media Selection.
Figure 16. Ad-hoc Recording Destination Dialog, Single Recording Destination
If the unit is NOT set to limit the recording destination, recording destination options are as
follows:
• Auto — The recording is saved to the first available storage location that is not full. The
user sets the priority for storage location in the Destination Recording Priority
field.
• If a USB drive has more than one logical volume, only the volume with the largest
free space for that port in the Recording Destination: drop-down list is used
to store content. All other volumes on that drive are ignored.
• To record to another volume on the device you must manually select the target
location rather than using the auto option.
• Internal Drive — The recording will be saved on the internal 32 GB SD card.
• Front USB/Rear USB/RCP USB — The recording is stored to the indicated external
USB drive connected to the front panel, rear panel, or recording control panel USB
storage port on the SMP.
If the unit is set to limit the recording destination, you cannot change the storage location
(internal, front USB, rear USB). However, if the unit is set to store recordings to one of the
USB ports, and if the connected drive contains more than one volume, you can select a
volume from the Recording Destination drop-down list.
