Drive tab

The Drive tab displays information about the drives that you install on the system, including the capacity of the drive, the available storage space, and its health status. On the Drive tab, you can also set the minimum or maximum time period for storing video. For more information, see the following tables.

Table 1. Drive tab in the Storage window
Interface element	Description
Content Age pane	Displays the age of the oldest recorded video on the system, and sets how long the system retains video data before it deletes. If you delete the video data before the set date, a trigger action on the Event Linking window activates. For more information, see Event Linking window.
Bookmark Storage pane	Displays the number of saved bookmarks, the total storage requirements for the bookmarks, and the age of the oldest content on the system. Bookmarks do not delete automatically, unless the size of all the bookmarks exceeds the total storage capacity.
Drive Configuration pane	Displays information about the drives you install on the system. For more information, see Drive Configuration pane in the Storage window.
Expiration Configuration pane	Sets the minimum or maximum time period that the system stores video from each camera. To set a time period for storing video, see Setting a time period for storing video.
