Video on Demand and Managing Content
All content is stored in the archive in a hierarchical structure, much like folders on a PC, and is displayed in a
similar manner in the archive service menu. The terms folder and category are interchangeable, similarly video
refers to either video or audio files.
The Archive > Recent Updates page shows the 100 most recent updates in the selected archive. Note that this
page only shows published videos. If the user is a non administrator and access control is enabled on this
archive then they user will only see updates in folders that they have been given view permission to by the
system administrator. Note if you select a video and click Open Containing Category then it shows the
category containing the selected video.
Choose Archives > Browse to view the list of archives configured in your system (FIG. 74)
Double click an archive to view its contents. Each archive has the following special folders which cannot be
deleted:
DVR Recordings which contains videos recorded by continuous or scheduled record services.
A trashcan, this is a special folder which contains media deleted from the rest of the archive.
Deleted videos are placed here. To remove a video completely and free up hard drive space, users
with appropriate permissions can delete the video from the trashcan.
The content folder contains all the rest of the media in this archive. This is the most commonly used
area of the archive.
Click once on a folder to see its description. See FIG. 76 for an example.
