    27. Zero value means unlimited retention

  27. If you set the 0 value, archive depth is unlimited. As a result, the archive will only contain recordings within the specified depth. The recordings that are outside of the specified archive depth are unavailable for viewing.

    • Later, if you change the available archive depth of a camera upwards or to 0, the setting will apply only to new recordings. Earlier recordings outside the initial archive depth don't become available
    45. If your entire archive is set to, say, 10 days, and the camera retention time is set to 20 days, camera footage will be actually retained for 10 days only
