File Manipulation rule (Rules Manager)

A feature that allows users to back up their files to other locations such as standard file servers, NAS or SAN can be configured using the Rules Manager.

This feature takes the task of remembering to backup important video recordings on the local server and automates it. File Manipulation can also move or delete videos.

IP Server sample configurations

The table below is the sample specification for IP Server based on camera number and configuration. Noted CPU performance is for IP server while recording video without anyone logged into the system or using Client applications (i.e. VI MonitorPlus).
