2. Click the Add Storage Group icon to add a storage group. The first Storage
Group is created by default.
3. Check the Cameras to be contained in the storage group.
4. Check the Keep Days option and specify the number of days to keep the video files in
storage.
5. Click the Add New Path icon to specify a storage location.
6. Check the Enlarge Recycle Threshold option and specify the size if you like to enlarge
the default recycle size.
7. Click OK.
 Recycle: When this option is selected, it will cause the oldest files to be deleted when the system
requires storage space for new surveillance videos. If it is not selected, the system will stop
recording when disk space is full.
Note:
1. If the designated storage space is not big enough to keep all video files for the defined days, the
Recycle setting then overrides the Keep Days setting.
2. The video capture cards and GV-NVR have different default recycle sizes. When the storage
space reaches the default size limit, the system will delete the oldest files. The default recycle
size:
z GV-250 / 600 / 650 / 800 is 795 MB.
z GV-1120 / 1240 / 1480 is 1.2 GB.
z GV-2004 is 1.2 GB plus 50 MB/per channel
z GV-2008 is 1.2 GB plus 50 MB/per channel.
z GV-2016 is 1.2 GB plus 50 MB/per channel.
z GV-NVR is 1.2 GB.
Every added IP video channel can expand the default recycle size by 50 MB. For example, if
your GV-NVR has 4 IP channels, the default size limit will be 1200 MB + 50 MB x 4 = 1400 MB.
If you find the default storage space is not enough, select the Enlarge Recycle Threshold
option to expand the size limit.
Every time the 400 MB of old files will be deleted upon reaching the default limit.
