To set advanced recorder settings for a camera:
1. In the bottom of the Camera configuration screen, under Recorder, select Enable Advanced Settings.
The fields required to configure advanced settings are displayed along with the other recorder settings above
the checkbox:

2. To modify the disk allocation for this recording stream, under Size on Disk, specify the proportion of the
disk space to allocate for the stream, as a percent value.
The percentage that is already allocated for the other cameras is indicated above the field – for example, “33%
in use by other recorders.” You can choose to allocate as much of the remaining disk space to this recorder as
you wish. For example, if 33% of the total available disk space is already allocated to the other recorders, you
could choose to allocate an additional 60% to this recorder. This would mean that 93% of the disk space is
allocated to all the recorders together. The sum of the Size on Disk values of all the recorders cannot exceed
98.
Note: To modify the allocation of the other recorders, navigate to the Camera configuration screen of each
recorder and modify the value in the Size on Disk field there.
Note: To reset all disk allocations to their default values, in the Camera Summary screen, click Set
Recording Disk Size to Default.
3. If you want to record linearly, select Write Protect. The Warn When ____% Full field is added to the
screen. .

If Write Protect is selected, recording continues until all the allocated disk space is full. To restart
recording, you must manually erase the existing recordings (see Erasing Recorded Video, page 104).
If Write Protect is not selected, recording follows the FIFO model: when the disk allocation is full, the
earliest recordings from this camera are erased to make room for new recordings. Skip to step 5.
4. In the Warn When ____% Full field, specify whether you want the TVG to send warning messages via e-
mail about the availability of storage space, as follows:
