The Ring field

Enter the value in the field

Sets free disk space; when the limit is reached, the earliest recordings will be the value of the remaining disc space upon reaching which the old recordings are deleted on loop (see General information on video archiving). If you use two or more disks are used discs for the video archivingarchive recording, archiving on current disk is performed till there is the current disc keeps recording until the FreeMbCritical of free disk disc space is left (1000 MB by default, see the info on the this key in Registry keys reference guide).

Free The free space set by the Ring parameter is used for recording temporary files. This means that when you reach the limit set by the Ring parameter is reached, the maximum size of the temporary file is Ring (the FreeMb registry key FreeMb). Video The video that is received from such a temporary file can contain less fewer frames than set by the Frame count parameter.

Note. Old recordings may get deleted The removal of old recordings cas start before the remaining disk space reaches the specified value if the disk space is less than 15000

Info
titleNote
 Setting Setting the non-zero value to the the Recording time parameter does not doesn't disable the Frame count parameter. If you set the values for both parameters are set, then the file recording will be is performed in accordance with the value which that comes first. For instanceexample, if you set the value of the Recording time is equal parameter to 10 seconds and Frame count is equal to 500 frames (by default) for the Frame count parameter, and in 10 seconds the fragment consists of size is 80 frames, then the 80-frame file will be is recorded.
