Storage LocationsBy default, recordings will be stored on the same drive that the RSM software is installed.For example if RSM is installed in the directoryD:\Program Files\Sony\RealShot Manager ,Recordings will be stored by default in the directoryD:\Program Files\Sony\RealShot Manager\RecordingsYou can create new storage locations on any drive that is accessible to the PC regardless of thetype but please consider the recommendations later in this section for best performance.Managing Storage LocationsThe image below shows a typical configuration.The D: drive is used for storage, and there are two storage locations configured, Default and AlarmRecordings.The pop-up window shows the settings available for each storage location. If the system is to beused for continuous recording such as in a security or surveillance environment, it is a good idea toenable the automated cleanup job option to ensure continuous recording.After creating additional storage locations, they must be assigned to each camera and can beconfigured for Normal, Scheduled or Alarm recording. To assign the storage location, click oncamera properties and select the storage location tab as shown below.© Sony PSE 2004This document is intended for use as a guide only.

From this menu, storage locations can be assigned or de-assigned as required.Recommendations for Storage Locations.a) The recorded pictures (.cam files) can take a lot of space, depending on frame rate, resolutionand quality, for example a camera set to 320x240 resolution, 8 frames per second and 80% qualitywill require approximately 1GB of storage space per day for continuous recording.A camera set to 640x480 resolution, 25 frames per second and 60% quality will requireapproximately 7.5GB of storage space per day for continuous recording.For optimum reliability, we recommend that the RSM primary storage location should not be on thesame partition or drive letter as the operating system.b) If a storage location is on a mapped network drive or NAS device, you should ensure that this isreconnected automatically after rebooting the PC.c) As stated in a) the storage requirement depends on the camera settings, managing the storagearea is an important issue to ensure you have adequate capacity for recording and can keepmaterial for the required period. As recording will stop when the specified location is full, ensureyou schedule ‘clean-up’ events to manage the storage areas effectively.d) If remote storage such as a NAS device is used, remember to include them in your networkcapacity calculations. It is a good idea to have a dedicated link to these devices from the RSM PC.Note: If you are using the RSM as to share cameras to RSM clients and wish to access thestorage location from the client, special settings must be configured. Refer to the RSM Server /Client documentation.e) RSM does not incorporate any backup or archiving mechanism, but we recommend thatimportant data be backed up to other storage media on a regular basis in accordance with thearchiving and security policy of the user.© Sony PSE 2004This document is intended for use as a guide only.
