Playing Back Archived Data

246
Archived data is stored in the folder specified in the Server Location field. The file structure
of the archived data is as follows:
[Server Location]\[site name]\[year]\[month]\[day]\[site name]_[start time]_[end
time].dat
With this file structure, you can quickly search for files archived from specific units or for
specific times. You just need to know the unit, year, month and day that the archived clip
comes from. For example, if you archived data from the Main Unit to the E:\Backup folder
on September 2, 2008 from 2:30:00 PM to 2:59:59 PM, the path to this data would look like:
E:\Backup\Main Unit\2008\09\02\Main Unit_143000_145959.dat
Manage these data files as needed. You can delete unneeded data files, copy them or
move them to a backup server.
Note If the Server Location folder or share path is not available during archiving, the
archival policy will backup data in the working directory (the location where
the application is installed) by default.
Note If you are trying to archive more than 30 minutes video, the data will be stored
in data files of 30 minutes each. If you are archiving two hours of video, the
two hours will be split into four 30-minute data files.
To play back archived data, you must first add an archival server with the Admin
application. Once the server is added, you then discover the archival sites with the View
application, select a site to retrieve data from, and then play back the video.
Note Video recorded at a very low frame rate (0.5 fps) may not play back properly.
Green blocks may be observed during playback. Increase the recording
frame rate to work around this issue.
