Alerts
Represented by the red hazard icon. This folder contains snapshot images taken when
cameras are active and triggered. Each alert snapshot acts as a bookmark into a video clip. If
you open an alert snapshot, the clip that contains the alert event is opened in the viewer
window. If the reference clip is no longer available on your system, the alert JPEG itself is
displayed.
New
Represented by the green "play" icon. All new video recording is saved to this folder, unless
otherwise overridden by a camera's recording settings. Each clip may represent many trigger
events or a continuous recording.
Stored
Represented by the file storage icon. Clips from the New folder are automatically moved to
the Stored folder, and then ultimately delete from your system according to age and disk space
limits you configure on the Options/Clips page.
You may also create any number of subfolders to allow you to organize your clips. Right-click
in the Clip List and select "Goto folder..." to see the folder tree:
Click the Make New Folder button to place a new folder at the highlighted position. When this
folder tree is changed, the list of folders will be updated at the top of the Clip List. You may
view any subfolder by selecting it from the drop-down list. The ".." entry in the list moves you
"up" or "backwards" in the folder tree. To move clips between folders, select one or more
clips, then right-click on the Clip List and select "Move to another folder..."
