4. Click OK.
Setting Data Aging
Data aging defines how long recorded video is stored and the quality of the video as it ages over time. In the
Avigilon Control Center system, the recorded image rate is slowly reduced so that recorded video can be
viewed over a longer period of time while still making room for new recordings. You can adjust how long the full
image rate video is kept, so that you have the best quality video when you need it.
The amount of data aging that is available depends on the camera you have connected to your system:
lFor JPEG2000 or JPEG compression cameras, Data Aging is available at three rates:
lFull Image Rate and Resolution keeps recordings at their original quality.
lHalf Image Rate discards half of the recorded data to make room for new recordings.
lQuarter Image Rate keeps 1/4 of the original recorded data so that you can still see older video.
lFor H.264 cameras that support Data Aging, Data Aging is available at two rates:
lFull Image Rate and Resolution keeps the original high quality video and the secondary stream of
low resolution video.
lLow Resolution only keeps the secondary stream of low resolution video.
NOTE: The Data Aging can only occur when the secondary stream is enabled.
lFor H.264 cameras that do not support Data Aging, only the Full Image Rate and Resolution video is kept.
By default, the system is set to keep recorded video for the maximum amount of time based on the available
storage.
NOTE: The listed Total Record Time is an estimate only.
1. In the server Setup tab, click .
The Recording and Bandwidth dialog box is displayed.
The Data Aging column shows an estimate of the recording time that is available at each image rate,
given the amount of space on the recording device.
Setting Data Aging 9

2. In the Data Aging column, move the sliders to adjust the amount of time video is stored at each image
rate.
lTo change the data aging settings for all linked cameras, move the slider for one linked camera
and all linked cameras will be updated.
lTo change the data aging setting for one camera, break the camera's link to other cameras by
clicking the icon to the left of its name, then make your changes.
3. In the Max. Record Time, manually enter a maximum record time or select one of the options from the
drop down list for each camera.
NOTE: If the time estimated in the Total Record Time column is shorter than what is set in the Max. Record
Time column, the camera's actual recording time will be shorter than the Max. Record Time.
4. Click OK.
Adding Users and Groups
If there will be other people using the system, you may want to add them as separate users rather than giving
them access through the default administrator account.
