Hiya,
I am running iVMS-4200 v2.7.2.4 on my pc.
I am running the storage server as well with 24TB of storage.
I have 4 cams
Frame rate is 15fps
video encoding is STD_H264
Bitrate Type is set at Variable to Max Bitrate 5120 kbps
Video Quality: Medium Resolution 2688*1520
File size per day is:52.0G reported in Remote Config
My problem is:
In the settings Storage Schedule>Recording Schedule>Advanced Settings>Keep Record Files for X days.
I can NOT change the value from 0.
As an example, if I put 10 days in then save the setting.
the software reverts it back to 0.
I am well aware that 0 represents use all available hard drive space up before over writing the oldest file.
Also, my recording does NOT extend beyond 6 days recording inside iVMS-4200.
yet if I use VLC Media player and play the recordings of the hard drive I can see the Time/Date
stamp on them from the last 25 days.
Can anyone explain what is going on here and how to Fix it?
Thanks

I too have had this issue. No matter how much HDD space I add to the PCNVR, iVMS-4200 only records 6 days. I've just added 14 days to the Storage Schedule>Recording Schedule>Advanced Settings>Keep Record Files for X days variable but I'm not sure if that will solve the 6-days issue yet and this doesn't seem like a viable solution. The time videos stay up should be dependent on the space available.

Hey @bababouy

Do you have any expertise on this? Unfortunately, changing Storage Schedule>Recording Schedule>Advanced Settings>Keep Record Files for X days variable from 0 to 14 days didn't increase the recording time. I would love some advice on this if you have any. Thanks in advance.
