SummaryÂ
The article provides instructions on configuration recodring for LuxRiot DVR software.
Instructions
LuxRiot records video in a loop, i.e. it first fills up allocated drive space on all selected drives. After that it begins to erase oldest recordings to free up space for the new ones. Therefore, LuxRiot always keeps latest recordings for the time period defined by allocated drive space and recording settings. Each camera should be configured individually for optimal drive space utilization.
