The following settings allow setting limits to the storage size, the time for keeping
the images and the maximum number of events to store on the Windows com-
puter.
It is usually sufficient to set the maximum storage size used by the camera on the
Windows computer. Only special applications require specifying the maximum time
to keep the images and the maximum number of events.
• Storage Size: Enter the maximum size (MB) the camera will use on the Win-
dows computer in this field. The factory default setting is
512 MB
.
When reaching the maximum storage size, the MOBOTIX camera will auto-
matically delete the oldest files. Caution: The setting
Unlimited
will create an
error once the storage capacity has been reached.
• Time to keep: Enter the maximum time (in days) in this field, for which the
camera should keep the images on the Windows computer before deleting
them. The factory default setting is
Unlimited
.
The MOBOTIX camera will automatically delete all images, which are older
than the maximum number of days specified.
• Number of Events: Enter the maximum number of events to store on the
Windows computer in this field. The factory default setting for this setting is
Unlimited
.
When reaching the maximum number of events, the MOBOTIX camera will
automatically delete the oldest events.
External Logging
Click on the More button to see the options for external logging.
Storing the camera's log files can help track down errors and can be used to moni-
tor the camera's actions. You could check the camera's system messages to see if
the connection to the server has been disrupted, for example. The web server log
file on the other hand automatically logs all users and when they accessed the
camera.
