Configuring the target tab for Cloud Drive

Use this task to configure a Cloud Drive for data retrieval. To configure data retrieval for SMB, NFS or Amazon S3, see Configuring the target tab for SMB and NFS and Configuring the target tab for Amazon S3 respectively.

Note:
  • A system can have only one Cloud Drive archive target.
  • Cloud Drive Legacy archiving only supports H.264 video and does not support audio.
  1. Select the Enabled check box to enable archiving. Clear the check box to disable archiving.
  2. From the Type list, select the archive media that you want to use:
    • Cloud Drive
    • Cloud Drive (Legacy)
  3. In the Username and fields, type the user name to access the network shared drive targets.
  4. In the Password field, type the password to access the network shared drive or Cloud Drive.
  5. In the Email field, type the email address for the Cloud Drive user account.
    Note: A message is displayed the first time that the exacqVision Client connects to the Cloud Drive.
  6. In the Cloud Drive Info area, in the Partner Code field, type the partner code that you received when you subscribed to Cloud Drive.
    You can also get this information from your dealer.
  7. In the Instance Region list menu, select the appropriate geographic region to store the video. North America is the default instance region.
  8. In Oldest Content to Upload, you can set a limit for the number of days of video to upload when archiving. The system does not upload video older than the set value.
    Note: Video that is already archived is not affected. The retention of previously archived video is defined in your Cloudvue subscription.
  9. Click Apply.

The Status field shows as User Not Associated. In the Cloudvue Manager portal Video Devices page, your dealer needs to add your Cloud Drive user account to the NVR. When the dealer adds your Cloud Drive user name to the device, cameras connected to the NVR appear in the Cloudvue Manager portal and the dealer can apply your Cloud Drive subscriptions to them.

For each camera, specify the type of recordings to archive and which days of the week video will be archived. See Creating a recording schedule for Cloud Drive.
