2. How much storage space is required when using Arecont Vision cameras?
The storage space requirements will vary depending on the compressibility of your imagery. Shown
below (Figure 31) is an example of a system running at 22 FPS. However, the user can specify the
archival frequency to be lower than the full frame rate. Most Arecont Vision cameras also provide highly
sophisticated on-board motion detection. To further reduce the required storage the user has an option to
archive only those images that contain motion. Furthermore, Arecont Vision cameras support real-time
resolution changes and image windowing on a frame-by-frame basis. The user may wish to archive
windows of interest or reduced resolution images at the high frame rate while archiving full resolution
images at the lower frame rate. A bandwidth calculator is provided at http://www.arecontvision.com/sales-
tools.html to help with determining storage/bandwidth requirements.

3. Why do I get a license warning?
A license is only needed for archiving video. This warning will display until the software is licensed. You
can obtain a license file by contacting your distributor or contacting [e-mail].
4. Why is my Arecont Vision camera not detecting in the Camera Installer?
If the camera is not detected it may be because of the PC’s firewall settings. To allow Camera Installer
access to the network the user should configure the firewall properly. To configure the Windows firewall,
access the Windows Security Center in the Windows Control Panel and click on Windows Firewall.
In the Windows Firewall window (Figure 33), click the Exceptions tab and AV Installer to the list of
exceptions. Once the selections have been made click OK and re-run the Camera Installer. If the
Camera Installer still cannot find the camera make sure that there are no hardware firewalls blocking the
