To create the Edge storage object, do the following:

  1. Go to the Hardware tab in the System settings dialog window (1).
  2. Create the Edge storage object based on the Video capture device object in the objects tree on the Hardware tab (2). The setting panel of the selected object is displayed in the right part of the Hardware tab (3).

You can set the connection parameters to the edge storage on the Video capture device object settings panel—see Configuring video acquisition from IP devices. If you set them correctly, then after performing the steps above, you can set the list of cameras used for viewing the edge storage of the video archive (see the Setting the list of cameras to access the Edge storage section).

You can create only one child Edge storage object on the basis of each Video capture device object.

Creating the Edge storage object is complete.
