8.9.2 Editing a Partition
The Edit partition window provides an overview of the current partition configuration, which
can be modified at any time. All modifications result in the reorganization of the partition and
all sequences stored are lost. It is recommended to back up all important sequences before
modifying the partition.
The unit uses a special recording mode during alarm recording for optimal usage of storage
capacity: as soon as a time gap for alarm recording begins, a recording is continuously made
on one segment, which is the size of a complete alarm sequence (pre- and post-alarm time).
This segment in the partition functions in a similar manner to a ring buffer and is overwritten
until an alarm is actually triggered. Recording occurs on the segment only for the duration of
the preset post-alarm time and a new segment is subsequently used in the same manner.
To edit a partition, do the following:
1. Open the IP AutoDome Livepage, then click the Settings tab.
2. Click the Recording Settings link, then, click Partitioning. The IP AutoDome displays the
Partitioning screen (see Figure 8.18).
3. Click the Edit partition button. The IP AutoDome displays the Partition properties screen.
Figure 8.29 Partition Properties
4. Click the << and >> buttons to edit a partition. Make any desired changes, then click the
Format button to save the modifications.
5. Click the Recording format drop-down list and select a recording format.
6. Click the Type of recording drop-down list and select the number of alarm tracks to be
used in the partition. One alarm event can be recorded in each alarm track, and the
number of alarms entered can be recorded and archived. A partition can contain a
maximum of 128 alarm recordings.
7. Click the Set button when finished.
!
CAUTION!
Alarm tracks must be set up in the required partition for alarm recording.
