PC Date and Time
Especially for the Video Server, it is important
to ensure that the date and time are always
correct--since this information is used to
manage video recordings. There is normally
no reason for this to vary, but it's still best to
check it on a regular basis.
Tips: The time is displayed on the right-hand end
of the Windows task bar. To view the date, 'hover'
the mouse pointer over the time. For details on
setting the date or time, open the Windows on-line
help (e.g., from the Windows Control Panel), and
search for "Date".

Introduction
As video files can be ultimately consume a
large amount of hard-drive space, it is
important to work with your files on a regular
basis.
Why? To ensure:
• Space is always available for recording
• Files of specific interest are always retained
Attention: Deleted files cannot be recovered. It is
best to check your backups before deleting any
files.
You can:
• Manage files using the new Filekeeping
function.
• Local (and downloaded) Files: Copy, Backup,
Delete, (Add a Remark), or Download desired files.
• Remote Files: Download (and/or Preview) files.
Tip: Files can be also be previewed in the file list or
viewed in playback. (Filekeeping functions are
accessible through Playback and the file lists.)
• Manage files using the Housekeeping
function
• Remote Station: Backup and/or delete files that
were recorded or have been backup up onto that
remote PC.
• Video Server: Backup and/or delete local files, or
'remote' files -- for folders that have been 'mapped
to' as a drive letter.
Tip: Includes a small built-in playback window.
• Set the system to delete older files every day
at a certain time (Self-housekeeping).
